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.

Wedit, the web video editor integrated within VSNExplorer platform, is designed to boost collaborative work and increase efficiency in time-sensitive environments, such as news and live production. Wedit enables media management and video editing through its cloud-based functionalities, whether assets are stored in deep archive, nearline or online files, allowing journalists and editors to easily locate and edit media files within a single interface, without having to switch to another system.

Wedit is an easy-to-use web editing tool that allows users to quickly edit and prepare videos for broadcast from one single interface, without necessarily changing to an NLE. Integrated within VSNExplorer platform as an add-on feature, this web video editing tool is 100% developed in HTML5 and accessible from any browser, operating system or device.

Its integration in VSNExplorer allows Wedit users to access and edit low-res video stored on-line, near-line or even in deep archive, edit sequences quickly by cut, generate cut lists; mark-in and mark-out segments with proxy frame accuracy, associate metadata to the editing cuts, quickly drag and drop video segments, record voiceover over the timeline and edit audio layers and, finally, unify it in a single clip ready for broadcast or export it as an EDL in case further editing in an NLE is required.

Wedit is the perfect editing tool for news and live production environments, allowing journalists and editors to get a news piece ready for broadcast within minutes, working on content even while it is being ingested or on-air/live. Its deployment in cloud environments also enables a more collaborative access and editing of video files, revealing itself as a highly valuable tool for broadcasters and news agencies.

In document and historical, legal or institutional archive environments, Wedit can help users compact archive images after a quick media or content search directly through VSNExplorer MAM.

Finally, in production and post-production environments, Wedit can be really helpful for quickly creating movies or TV shows trailers, promotions or advertising. The final result can be easily consolidated and delivered to an MCR system, such as VSNMulticom, for its broadcast on traditional TV, or to second-screens and Social media.
