NAGRA Insight leverages big data and AI to drive every aspect of an operator's business, predict the individual behavior of TV viewers such as propensity to churn, to purchase a package or to consume specific content, every day, at scale. NAGRA Insight helps operators make better strategic decisions, drive their business more effectively and improve their business line. It provides a lasting impact on the operators’ four critical areas: subscriber value, content, operations, advertising.

• Boost subscriber value: NAGRA Insight recommends the most relevant actions to acquire and retain subscribers, upsell, and offer the best price and package content. It provides precise data on service usage, on a per-subscriber basis, in real time and also enables the operator to optimize the user interface and the customer experience.


• Improve content management: with NAGRA Insight, service providers can increase the usage of their services through individual recommendation. NAGRA Insight also enables them to quantify the value of every content asset, in order to better program, package and negotiate.


• Drive operations: NAGRA Insight optimizes resource-intensive areas especially regarding device management and software update roll-out. It also aggregates data from all networks to increase speed of diagnosis of network issues, keep CDN costs under control and manage the quality of video displayed on OTT services.


• Increase advertising efficiency: NAGRA Insight increases programmatic TV advertising revenues. It delivers linear slots inventory and valuation and enables audience qualification, advertising attributes, demographics and interests.

Protect your valuable data with Paragon for Archives

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, Paragon is a Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) platform that can scale from systems for a single user or small workgroups, through to large national archives responsible for the safe storage of petabytes of data.

The Paragon system provides an open architecture to deliver a media-aware storage management system by utilising the LTFS standard and controlling LTO data libraries. It creates a fully-managed, digital content library that is device independent, future proof, and secure, while enabling easy access to archived content and making it simple to repurpose it across teams and organisations.

An integrated proxy-browse interface makes it simple to search, discover and browse media with its associated metadata, select clips, and carry out partial restore of content before downloading, saving both time and money for your organisation.

Paragon has the flexibility to be used as a standalone archive solution as well as being capable of being extended for wider business requirements by combining it with other TMD media services platforms.

Tiger Spaces is a project & user management software that enables you to create, assign and manage virtual project workspaces. Gain the freedom to move projects and assets across a mix of heterogenous storage solutions (shared Tiger SAN storage and any NAS SMB & NFS protocols), while preserving users’ mount points and data paths intact. Tiger Spaces carves out separate workspaces in your shared storage and users see each one as a local attached drive, which prevents inefficient scanning of workspaces and ensures best performance. You still manage one shared storage space - no added complexities. Tiger Spaces allows elastic project sizing as well as setting workspace quotas. Optional Avid bin-locking improves collaboration by allowing users to work on the same project simultaneously.

Actus AdWatch offers an advanced audio and/or video content detection solution combined with a robust feature-set allowing detection of recurring content in linear broadcasts such as ads or promos.

The process begins by defining the reference commercials, either by marking them from the recorded feeds or by importing sample files.

The system automatically computes one specific fingerprints for each of the marked commercials.

AdWatch monitors the live feeds of all selected channels, and compares the fingerprint of the live feeds to the fingerprints of all the marked commercials (ads) or any other content stored in the database.

Adwatch can also detect new ads that have not been fingerprinted and alerts the operators with all the new ads for confirmation.

At the end of the process, AdWatch creates a database of all certified detections.

The user may produce a large set of reports from this database, by date, channel, brands, campaign and many other attributes.

For further analysis, there is a possibility to export any report to excel (.csv)

Ateliere Connect is a fully cloud-native platform for content servicing that centralizes geographically-distributed workflows, allowing content owners full control and visibility. It’s designed to operate natively in the cloud to scale up and down automatically depending on volumes and urgency. With Connect, content owners can efficiently manage and store assets, create versions, and deliver content to countless broadcast endpoints from one unified platform. Our proprietary parallel-scaling technology, made possible by the cloud, enables efficient and high-quality production workflows.

Connect is fully provisioned to manage workflows for over 100 platforms, which means every step can be handled within our platform, from ingest to delivery. End-to-end supply chain workflows can be completely automated with AI-driven microservices within Connect.

FrameDNA™ is an AI image recognition tool within Connect that scans multiple versions of content, identifies the frames that are similar and different, and automatically deduplicates the versions, allowing users to consolidate multiple versions into lightweight, nimble IMF packages. By running their content libraries through FrameDNA, companies have been able to reduce their overall storage footprints by an average of 70%. In addition, their titles are now ready to be rendered out in any localized or conformed version quickly and efficiently for global distribution to any platform endpoint.

FrameDNA works in tandem with Deep Analysis, a media probing tool within Connect that rapidly analyzes video files, identifies various elements, including scene changes, color bars, blacks, texted scenes, slates, and essences, and displays them on a graphical timeline view without the user having to watch the file back. For a 54-minute 2K HD ProRes show, this process happens in about 10 mins--that's a time savings of 80%. Deep Analysis can also detect when subtitles overlap with on-screen text. The push to bring legacy libraries into global streaming services requires language/caption support in 26+ versions. All major streaming services immediately reject a show if there’s an issue with caption/texted scene overlap. The quality assurance task once only performed by humans is now fully automated with Deep Analysis. It can detect instances of timed text/texted scene overlap with around 40% more accuracy and 80% faster than manual QC methods.

Connect affords studios and post houses maximum flexibility under their control. Companies can choose the model that works for them--SaaS or PaaS-- and use our modular framework to select only the components of the platform that they need. They don't have to build an entirely new supply chain from scratch to take advantage of the benefits. Connect seamlessly integrates with existing partners and systems via a fully accessible API.
