"Working with Qualabs allowed us to quickly turn a complex standard like C2PA into a working prototype in a real streaming environment. For Unified Streaming and WDR, this demo shows that verifiable media authenticity can be integrated into existing workflows and that provenance can travel with video across platforms, providing a practical foundation for trust in digital media."
