+### DASH-IF announces Public Community Review for Candidate Specification: Watermarking API for Encoder Integration
+
+On December 6th, 2024, DASH-IF published the "[DASH-IF Candidate Specification: Watermarking API for Encoder Integration](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18038517/DASH-IF-CTS-Watermarking-API-v0.9.0.-.Community.Review.pdf)" for community review. 
+
+DASH-IF and UHD Forum have updated the “Watermarking API for encoder integration” to cope with the latest updates on watermarking. The main updates to the document comprise:
+- the definition of interfaces to manage watermark pace information and be interoperable with DASH-IF Forensic A/B Watermarking (ETSI TS 104 002)
+- the support for multiple processing pipelines to process several ABR representations in a single WMP instance;
+- the clarification of ABR segmentation signaling to help the WMP enforcing its watermark pace making logic;
+- the explicit signaling of Variant labels to avoid ambiguity in the specification; 
+This updated specification is expected to fill the gap with the real needs of the market today.

+
+This is the result of the work in the Content Protection and Security task force in DASH-IF lead by [Laurent Piron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurentpiron/) from NAGRA and has been done in collaboration between watermarking technology providers (Elemental, Irdeto, Nagravision and Synamedia) and other DASH-IF members. 
+
+The community review is open until January 15th, 2025. Publication is expected by February 26, 2025. Comments may be submitted through the [github](https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/Watermarking/issues).
