Secure Path Technology Inc. announced that based on its first quarter results and analysis, International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) registrations have increased over 800% since this time last year largely due to the increased activity in the Blu-ray Disc (BD) market as well as activity in various European countries such as France and Spain that have mandated the use of the ISAN standard for cable retransmission royalty processing.

According to the statement, Secure Path is the primary ISAN registration agency in North America and the exclusive global licensing agency providing commercial access to the ISAN database. ISAN is the International Standards Organization (ISO) standard for identifying audiovisual works, including film, television, online and mobile content across all formats and platforms.

“The numbers speak for themselves. ISAN appears to be well on its way to becoming the de facto audiovisual content identification standard for the distribution and auditing of media content,” says Secure Path CEO Alan Haft.
