At PFT, we believe that if AI has to work for M&E players, then it has to deliver accurate and actionable data which can solve unique business challenges. For this to happen, solution providers have to be open and committed to work with any AI/ML engine, have the data science talent pool to interpret the data and its subtle nuances, and tweak it to suit the needs of the enterprise’s content.

Hence, we offer a combination of Technology and Consulting to deliver accurate and actionable data that can solve specific M&E challenges seamlessly.

• Accurate Data – This is the only expectation from the industry currently



• Actionable Data – We have gone beyond the current expectation to create Action Toolkits

We make AI work for you. And that is our promise.

Accurate data and Actionable data are the hallmarks of CLEAR Vision Cloud. While other AI models available today in the market can offer data accuracy to some extend, none are capable of presenting accurate data that is actionable too.

A recent study on Media Industry revealed that out of all the content spread around different servers & clouds, 25% to 30% are duplicates.

• A variety of content operations are responsible for generating multiple duplicates, which add to storage costs and slow down migration to content. These duplicates are almost similar variants of the same content, which makes their identification difficult.


• Furthermore, while fast migration to the cloud is necessary to streamline content management, cloud storage is expensive.  

Hence, an end-to-end smart Video Intelligence solution is a must-have to manage content well and save on unnecessary expenses.

Quantiphi’s Video Deduplication Solution enables Media Enterprises to autodetect, delete, and restore similar content, thus saving on cloud expenses and automating content operations.

YOUBORA gives video providers the comprehensive overview of their end-users’ streaming experience in real time, integrating with players to get the raw data that matters, and translating it into customizable and easily readable dashboards that not only provide businesses with all the data they could need, but also allow them to understand and act upon it in a meaningful way.

The challenge we had was to develop an evolution of our product which could convert extremely complex information into a visual design system intuitive enough to allow clients to identify, create, and stack their own patterns of KPIs, metrics, and dimensions based on the data for their individual service. By working closely with clients and always iterating towards a better version of our product, we were able to create a visual design language simple enough to enable users to obtain the data visibility that they need.

Currently, in version 6, faster and improved analytical capabilities, previously inaccessible mountains of raw data can now be leveraged for a complete range of business needs, from marketing to operations, product, and content departments. At NPAW we strive to provide video platforms with the analytics tools that they need to grow their business. That means we need to be quick, innovative, and forward thinking, always.

YOUBORA is a video intelligence solution that unites video analytics with business intelligence to improve video platforms for both the companies behind them and the people using them.

Agama’s Client Device Monitoring solution provides detailed high-resolution real-time information on technical service quality, viewer behavior, and device health. Data is automatically collected from the viewers STB, other customer-premises equipment and/or player apps.

 

A key component of our solution is a lightweight software client integrated in the device or player software. The client sends compact, binary data about events and

continuously monitored metrics to the solutions central ingest infrastructure at frequent, configurable intervals. The information includes quality-related events such as packet loss and unavailability. State reporting makes it possible to see if the viewer has been watching multicast services or playing adaptive bitrate on-demand content, for example. Detected events are mapped to the relevant channel/asset and service type.

 

The client also supports reporting of device parameters such as CPU, memory and hard disk usage.

The integration (or adaptation of existing integration) of the client is performed by the STB or player application vendor with support and Quality Assurance performed by Agama to verify the integration. The client is deployed remotely via standard software update mechanisms.

 

The solution provides information on precisely the services that each viewer has watched. Opt-out settings and support for anonymization enable compliance with privacy legislation including GDPR.
