March 12, 2026 - Sony Electronics’ Camera Verify (beta), a feature of its Camera Authenticity Solution which enables news organizations to share content authenticity information via a dedicated URL, now supports video, as well as still images. Additionally, the Image Verification Pre-Check Software Development Kit (SDK), which can be integrated into news organizations' own systems, also supports video.
Through the expansion of services for still and video content authenticity verification and dissemination, Sony supports select news organizations in efficiently delivering information with verified provenance and authenticity. These solutions are planned to accommodate additional users and applications in the future.
Camera Verify (beta) Now Supports Video
News organizations and photojournalists can use Camera Verify’s URL to validate the authenticity of videos and still photography.
Key verification results available via Camera Verify:
- Verification that still images and videos were captured by a camera, using digital signatures including C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard compliance
- Display of video or image capture time and authenticity verification results
- Verification that a real-world subject was photographed, using 3D depth detection
Image Verification Pre-check Software Development Kit (SDK) Now Supports Video
The Image Verification Pre-Check SDK is a software development kit that allows users to check whether content contains a camera signature in an on-premises environment. By integrating this SDK into their own systems, news organizations can verify whether image and video content includes a camera signature, without changing existing workflows. This helps streamline content sorting and supports efficient processing flows.
