IMF allows broadcasters and content producers to streamline media processing and delivery procedures through componentized media management,  eliminating the need to replicate media for each new version, thus optimizing storage and reducing expenses.  Continuing their participation in the IMF User Group, Tedial’s HYPER IMF maintains its position as the singular end-to-end IMF workflow adding value to each customer’s workflow with unique and new features including Component-based assets with Multi-resolution MPEG-Dash Streaming and End-to-End IMF Workflows with 3rd Party Systems Integrations. There are a variety of deployment options — including on local premises, in a public or private Cloud with native S3 management, or in a Hybrid Cloud where all the heavy media manipulation can be done on premises and the distribution and activities that require external access can be done in the Cloud — that highlight the efficient and cost-effective solution’s flexible and field proven architecture.

HYPER IMF goes beyond all other tools with an implementation of Business Rules outside the IMF scope for each customer need, such as Late Binding for IMP Watermarking, employing a title centric view to manage all the myriad of versions, the ability to automatically build packages related to a specific title (UHD, HD, HDR, etc.) or manage the delivery package versions (Supplemental / Complete) based on contractual business retention rules. When used in conjunction with Tedial’s award-winning Version Factory  the world’s only single workflow that automates thousands of OTT and VOD versioning tasks, Tedial can easily support existing and new platforms, delivering content in the correct format with audio tracks and subtitles in the correct language, as well as any additional components required (artwork/trailers etc.) performing all the required transformations with a real and effective implementation on the OPL.

Increasing the viewers’ engagement is a challenge for any content owner. Clips generation and publishing to the online platforms must be efficient, fast, simple, cost-effective, automated, and accessible to anyone, from anywhere, anytime. No need for professional video editors or dedicated workstations. This is exactly what Clip Factory Pro is for. It can be deployed as an on-premise solution, Virtual Machine, Cloud, or as a Hybrid solution.

It's an enhanced HTML5 clips generation workflow for digital media and news teams. It includes the recording, advanced editing and metadata enrichment options, a built-in transcoding engine, and direct publishing to social media, OTT, VOD, Web, Catch up TV, etc.

It allows you to mark in/mark out multiple segments manually or automatically by using external data such as As run log files, EPG, closed caption, or AI engines. You can easily include or exclude segments, choose to add specific subtitles and audio language, or add a thumbnail. The metadata can be easily customized, pre-defined, or imported.

Enrich the clip with logos, graphics, animations, mute or blur specific parts, add pre or post-roll, crop a part of the video, and split the screen as a few examples.

It records from any input, including IP, SDI, QAM, HLS, SMPTE 2022-6, ASI, SRT, RTMP, NDI, and Zixi, from any format and resolution, including SD, HD, 4K, 8K. The frame accurate clips are exported in any format. The clips can be exported to social media, such as Facebook, YouTube, OTT platforms, VoD, and more, and integration with third parties transcoding farms is also supported.

Automatic export of specific programs, scheduled clipping, automatic ads removal, clipping based on EPG, As Run logs or other external metadata, and automatic AI-based clipping are some examples.

Our AI enrichment modules allow sparse data sets to be enhanced and then built upon to deliver great content discovery experiences to end-users. Once you have a data flow setup on the Utelly Platform it is a straightforward configuration change to enable any of the supported enrichments. It is also possible to add your own custom enrichments within the data flow framework we have designed.

To build rich user and multi-user profiles, we identify key indicators throughout the user life cycle, as well as offer the option to ingest existing datasets and combine this with explicit user signals. These profiles are used in conjunction with our enriched metadata, real-time trending topics, and understanding of the wider user-base, to power our world-class recommendation engine.

There is a huge variation when it comes to individual consumption patterns and behaviors. This is exacerbated by the mixing of linear and on-demand content. Many existing solutions fail in the content landscape of today. Our nuanced approach to the challenge allows us to offer a much more effective solution.

By leveraging the connections within the unified metadata repository, better content filtering can be provided, related content can be highlighted and in turn, a better signal is collected to unlock collaborative filtering.

The next level builds upon user activities and their hidden signals for content desirability. Using the latest ML/AI techniques, prediction models are generated and help drive user engagement and ultimately retention.

The real challenge lies in developing a search engine you won’t need to constantly rewire to match your audience’s changing viewing habits and demands.

What we provide instead is a ready-to-use, comprehensive search engine built with OTT media providers in mind and with a UI to rival Netflix’s, to retain your existing users and attract new ones by supercharging your search functionality. A competitive Pay TV search engine should, consequently, be able to handle millions of customized queries, many of which are mired with partial matches, spelling errors, and unexpected synonyms. Utelly’s search engine handles even the most unpredictable queries with relative ease. Highly specific searches, such as for actors or genres, result in relevant answers every single time. Don’t just take our word for it though - our incredibly flexible search engine is popular with both boutique domestic and multinational OTT providers grossing billions in revenue.

In order to control the ingest of media from a variety of devices, companies today often have to either invest in a MAM system or resort to using different tools that work with only some of the sources. This is not only expensive, but having several different tools reduces efficiency and jeopardizes quality and reliability.

With nearly a decade of developing AI and computer vision tools for the world’s number one interactive video platform at WIREWAX, and with another two decades of experience in the video and broadcast space, the team identified ways to leverage the platform’s award-winning image processing technologies in the big media sector too.

Lightning fast; face and object recognition, segmentation, fingerprinting, speech recognition and many other unparalleled tools available in the suite has changed the game for the broadcast and media industry.

Being able to scan entire archives of video assets and create a powerful, digital understanding of videos, programmes and movies with this core technology has enabled large TV and movie studios to leverage data and digital tools and services like never before.

We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.
