Syndicate your media content more quickly and profitably.
Video Syndicate leverages Nexidia technology, as well as external text and metadata sources to automate publication of on-air broadcasts online. Reduce production costs while increasing your content's monetization and syndication opportunities.
- Publish More Content: Eliminating the need for manual and time-consuming clip creation, Syndicate can help to drastically increase the quantity and quality of content published to the web.
- Enhance and Re-purpose Content: Re-purpose on-air videos for publishing online, incorporating valuable metadata used to build new products and enhance monetization and syndication opportunities.
- Reduce Tedious Editorial Effort: By automatically identifying story boundaries, and metadata tags, Syndicate takes the manual effort and potential for inconsistency out of the publishing process, freeing trained producers and editors to focus on other high value tasks.
- Automated Clip Creation: Leveraging newscast rundowns from Avid iNews, Syndicate aligns the dialogue contained within the rundown and identifies story boundaries based on the synchronized dialogue and corresponding metadata. Keywords are also extracted from the rundown and associated with the point in the story where they were spoken.
- Script Synchronization: Syndicate time-aligns text-based dialogue derived from assets such as closed-captioning and newscast rundowns to identify and time-align where each word of text is spoken. The time-aligned output can be used to automatically determine story or segment boundaries, re-generate closed-captioning files for clipped content, and locate specific phrases and lines within the video.
- Audio-based Keyword Tagging: Syndicate searches a set of pre-defined keywords - derived automatically from text sources or created manually - within the spoken audio, identifying tags that enrich the video's metadata.
- Closed Captioning, Script: Syndicate automates the retrieval and parsing of text-based assets associated with media files. For example, plug-ins are provided to integrate directly with Avid iNews for accessing rundowns, and to parse standard file formats such as SAMI-based closed-captioning and native Avid NSML.
- XML-based Document Processing: Data and processing are driven by a well-defined XML document format, which is utilized by each step in the process to retrieve and store additional information about the video. By utilizing the file system and XML documents, Video Syndicate does not require a separate database to store the relevant data. Syndicate's XML can be easily imported into other editing and search applications.
