At Telemundo, Volicon will display five new powerful applications within the companys Observer Media Intelligence Platform , an enterprise wide solution that records a stations media from ingest to playout, as well as multiple on-air broadcasts.

Capture

Todays broadcaster must capture media from a variety of sources to produce compelling content for viewers, whether delivered via on-air broadcast or a digital platform such as the Web, a mobile device, streaming, or OTT. Serving as a cost-effective alternative to expensive and cumbersome capture stations, Volicons new Capture application allows broadcasters to capture media from any source at any time, ingesting media either according to a schedule, in real time, and/or via 24/7 recording. The application supports a fast, simple edit workflow by enabling the user to review content as it is captured, immediately clip high-value content, and push it directly to editing and MAM systems without time-consuming transcoding steps.

Share

Broadcasters today need an agile way to publish exciting and compelling content to a multitude of digital platforms including the Web and social media outlets. This typically is a cumbersome and expensive process, but Volicons new Share application allows the broadcaster to repurpose existing content quickly and efficiently and subsequently push it to digital platforms and social media sites. One-button publishing profiles facilitate rapid processing of content to meet appropriate container and encoding requirements for an array of platforms, including target websites, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Share also makes use of existing closed-captioning text to publish content that is compliant with government regulations.

Review

The new Volicon Review application provides broadcasters, networks, and playout service providers with a fast and intuitive solution for reviewing on-air content, validating ad placement, and performing competitive analysis. This application facilitates rapid access to broadcast content for users working centrally and across geographically distributed sites, thus giving all key stakeholders the ability to keep an eye on their own broadcasts as well as those of their competitors and associated ratings data within a single GUI. Because the application makes high-resolution live and historical broadcast content available locally and lower-resolution proxy versions available remotely on any device, users can review and analyze their broadcasts at any time, from anywhere.

Comply

Volicons new Comply application enables users to record, clip, and export their broadcasts to meet regulatory and licensing requirements. Addressing a complete array of regulations, ranging from decency to closed captioning to loudness, this scalable and highly reliable application allows users to respond quickly and unambiguously to compliance requests. Leveraging Volicons proven compliance monitoring technology, Comply lays critical A/V metadata over frame-accurate video to create a clear visual affidavit of compliance.

Monitor

Built on Volicons acclaimed digital video monitoring technology, the new Monitor application allows users to monitor video quality, respond to fault reports, and use a full recording of the on-air broadcast for instant review of errors and their impact. While continuously analyzing logged content for a variety of faults such as black or static screen, loss of video or closed captions, and incorrect audio levels, this application provides flexible, individually configurable alert thresholds, with notifications delivered via email or SNMP traps.
