Volicon Products and Applications at BroadcastAsia2014: 28 Apr 2014
At BroadcastAsia2014, Volicon will display five new powerful applications within the companys Observer Media Intelligence Platform , an enterprisewide solution that records a stations media from ingest to playout, as well as multiple on-air broadcasts. In addition to enabling multiple users to stream, analyze, and review content from anywhere at any time, the platform supports a range of applications including compliance, quality assurance, competitive analysis, production, and repurposing for multiple platforms and social media outlets. With these tools, Media Intelligence Platform users are equipped to capitalize on new opportunities to create compelling content, raise viewer ratings, and generate new ad revenue.
NEW 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, mobile, 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. Because a low-resolution proxy is created along with the True HD (1080i 25/30, 720p 50/60) recording, both local and remote Observer Media Intelligence Platform users remote staff, partners, consultants, outside talent, and reporters in the field can quickly and easily collaborate to access, review, and clip content to create valuable footage for distribution.
NEW 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.
NEW 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. The application interfaces with the playout automation system to provide as-run log data for comparison with the frame-accurate recording of the broadcast output, thus making it easy for users to show advertisers what they are getting for their money.
NEW 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.
NEW 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. Quality measurement thresholds may be configured per channel to optimize performance and error reporting. To simplify network monitoring and troubleshooting further, the application provides an integrated multiviewer feature that enables Observer Media Intelligence Platform users to use their standard displays as multiviewers or record the output of a traditional multiviewer. With multiple streams presented on a network wall, users can respond immediately to any issues, instantly grabbing the suspect stream via their desktop interfaces to begin resolving the problem.
