Volicon has unveiled an accelerated VOD/OTT content generation workflow based on the Capture and Share applications for the company's Observer Media Intelligence Platform.
"The Observer Media Intelligence Platform continually captures high-quality broadcast content, aggregating valuable assets that broadcasters can repurpose and distribute for viewing on mobile devices and at the desktop," said Gary Learner, CTO at Volicon.
"Equipped with our Capture and Share applications, this platform enables fast generation of timely content such as news and sports,” said Learner. “In an increasingly crowded marketplace, this combination of speed and efficiency can be a key competitive differentiator."
The platform allows broadcasters to capture media in real time from any source, ingesting media 24/7 or according to a schedule, together with any metadata such as closed captioning.
The Capture and Share applications enable a fast, simple edit workflow by enabling three approaches to content creation.
The platform can also stitch these aggregated clips together in a seamless commercial-free whole that can be pushed to the CMS/OVP for distribution via VOD/OTT services.
Also, it speeds distribution of finished content with the associated closed captions by providing single-button publishing profiles that ensure programming is delivered to the CMS/OVP in the appropriate format.
The Volicon system supports publishing to virtually any platform, with accelerated publishing to solutions, such as thePlatform, Kaltura, and Brightcove, as well as social and digital media outlets including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
