The VSNExplorer platform integrates via API with top Artificial Intelligence engines from companies like IBM Watson, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or AWS for automatic metadata detection and cataloguing. This way, media management becomes much more efficient, accurate and easy to control and monitor.

Main features:

Wide range of information: From the moment that a media file is ingested, users can automatically extract a great amount of data and information from the advanced image processing features (facial recognition, objects, places, organizations and logos), audio layers analysis (music, voice, speakers and audio effects), speech-to-text and automatic translation, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or sentiment analysis or emotions' detection, among many others.

Automatic content cataloguing: Users can focus on content creation and news production, leaving the immediate cataloging of media to the its AI tools. They would only need to perform a quick control and validation of the metadata obtained, saving time and resources that can be reallocated. In addition, with AI they can obtain a higher volume of information, which is also more accurate and leads to a more precise and exhaustive categorization of content.

Advanced search functionalities: The volume of data generated from each media asset allows users to perform more accurate searches thanks to the big amount of options and parameters available. This way it is easier for users to adapt the search of content to their specific needs, reducing the number of results delivered by the system, which will only focus on those truly relevant to the user according to the keywords provided.

Quicker content creation: Thanks to the integration of Artificial Intelligence engines within VSNExplorer, it is now possible to automatically detect and retrieve specific video segments that comply with a set of given parameters and metadata, drag and drop these segments directly over VSNExplorer's web video editor, Wedit, and consolidate a final and already edited piece ready for broadcast, all without changing between windows.

Translation, captioning & subtitling: Subtitling process can now be automated thanks to language analysis, speech-to-text and automatic translation functionalities of AI-tools. These capabilities allow for the automatic translation and generation of captions in several languages of audio texts, delivering the corresponding text distributed by segment with mark-in and mark-out time codes.

Content moderation capabilities: Content moderation is sometimes mandatory depending on the legislation applied in the region where some specific content is being broadcasted. Sentiment recognition systems, image and objects analysis, and natural language analysis enable the automatic detection of sensitive or adult content, both within image and audio layers, so that they may be adapted or eliminated directly using a video editor like VSNExplorer's Wedit.

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.

Information is your greatest asset. ILLUMINATOR gives access to the key data that is vital to your business performance, presented in a way that is easy to visualise and interpret. Users access data through a client customisable control layer, known as a workspace, which sits on top of the core ILLUMINATOR framework. This allows the software to be tailored to exact client’s needs. The workspace provides users access to any data, whether mastered within ILLUMINATOR’S extensible database, or resident externally in other systems.

ILLUMINATOR allows users to view and manage data from legacy or difficult to maintain datasets, in a single environment. It can consume data in many formats reducing the need for multiple, disparate ‘data islands’ often constructed in spreadsheets, Access or bespoke SQL database solutions.

Work Together

In addition to the user defined Workspaces, the ILLUMINATOR core framework facilitates pre-built or custom functional module plugin capability. Existing modules can be adapted, or new and specially tailored modules can be created with Graphical Data’s support, to ensure you get the solution you need. These functional modules are designed to enhance the power of ILLUMINATOR, improving how users view and work with their data, on a daily basis.

All parts of the business can contribute; suppliers, contractors and customers can also engage if required. Each user has their part to play and every team member's input contributes to overall success. ILLUMINATOR’s communication features allow quick, consistent input and feedback to and from all.

Complete Integration

ILLUMINATOR allows multiple processes to come together in a single integrated workflow tool. These can include processes managed in other systems and if unified with Graphical Data’s RESOLVE software - exceptional end to end project performance improvements can be realised. ILLUMINATOR and its comprehensive toolkit are designed to manage large volumes of complex data. This can include systems procured from scratch, the re-structuring of existing databases, or the unification of data mastered elsewhere in multiple discrete repositories to provide a ‘single view of the truth’, ILLUMINATOR can deliver it all. ILLUMINATOR facilitates exceptional levels of software configuration to meet unique/specific data management requirements but can also realise these very rapidly.

Asset management databases and configuration management databases are numerous. However, ILLUMINATOR’s power is that in addition to these standard functions, it can be configured to be capable of much more. This includes integration of very unique data sets not normally managed in broad enterprise level applications.

Datazoom exists at the intersection of a Video Data Control (with raw data capture and ETL capabilities) and Real-time Automation. Our platform captures event, metadata, and heartbeat (a.k.a. FluxData) data generated during playback experiences. Data Pipes is the data capture and routing component of Datazoom, acting as an intelligent intermediary between data generating “Collectors” (like video players) and pre-integrated, data-powered, “Connectors” (like general analytics, QoE platforms, ad servers, and CDNs).

Operating with subsecond latency, Datazoom captures data from Collectors via a single, remotely updateable, SDK. Captured data is then fed into Datazoom, which transforms it into a universally accepted format for routing into any Connector via Data Pipes. Click here for the complete catalog of technologies supported within Datazoom's ecosystem.

Datazoom helps broadcasters cut code from their video players, enhance analytics systems with data previously inaccessible, and build a real-time feedback loop to support greater automation within the video technology stack.

The brand-new Verspective Intelligence solution marks significant enhancements for video service providers to maximize their network performance and optimize subscriber experience in order to further monetize their services.
Video analytics tools are essential to the decision-making capability of various departments of a video service provider. Operations and Engineering teams need real-time analytics tools to analyze Quality of Service (QoS) and viewers’ Quality of Experience (QoE), to detect and correct inefficiencies and, ultimately, reduce operational costs. Business users can leverage historical data to better understand content consumption and viewing behavior, identify opportunities to increase viewer engagement and revenue, optimize ad slot pricing, and reduce costly subscriber churn.
However, the challenge faced by today’s video service providers is that they are currently using problem-specific analytics tools that create disparate data silos. More often than not, they are sitting on terabytes of data stored in silos scattered across the organization. For example, they might be using website analytics to get an aggregate view of their traffic, a QoE tool to measure the subscriber\'s perception of the service, a QoS tool to measure performance of the delivery platform, and a BI tool as a way to connect these multiple sources. Furthermore, there is no clear connection on how to develop insights into specific data-driven actions that improve the business.
To maximize the power of this data, service providers need a solution that can collect, aggregate and analyze it in the most secure fashion while complying with mandated and self-directed privacy practices. In short, they need to unlock actionable business intelligence.
Leveraging robust and secure data aggregation methods, Verspective Intelligence enables service providers to be better informed by providing a data environment for collaboration. It collects and presents data from a variety of systems including set-top boxes (IPTV and DVB-IP hybrid), all kinds of OTT devices, video on-demand (VOD) servers and content delivery networks (CDN), DRMs including Verimatrix VCAS™ and data enrichment sources, such as program schedules and metadata. It then normalizes the feed from such various subscriber data sources to provide a 360-degree view across different network and device types.
Verspective Intelligence bridges organizational silos, aggregating all gathered data into a secure cloud-based data lake while granting controlled and role-based access to each department, where roles can be individually credentialed. Users can also build and modify visualizations to answer QoE and QoS questions as they arise.
Verspective Intelligence allows for a more precise method of segmenting the subscriber audience based on how they engage with the service. Service providers are able to more effectively address potential problems and uncover upsell opportunities in order to reduce churn and increase ARPU with powerful off-the-shelf and customizable reporting tools. The solution also accurately collates content usage and consumption analytics data from downstream operator sites, which offers a level of unprecedented visibility for content owners.
Off-the-shelf dashboards and visualization tools offer historical reporting that can be drilled into audiences, content, consumption, and overall service performance. The intelligence and dashboard portal provides an enhanced visualization engine with expanded customizable reporting tools that can analyze audience engagement, acquisition, retention, content performance and consumption behavior analysis – to name a few.
