A semi-automated software for
Time Coding, Classification and Identification of television broadcasts
- Our philosophy: WYSIWYG
- Only what is truly broadcasted (based on digital capture registration) is reported
- Every broadcast element with a minimal duration of 1 second is coded and reported
- Continuous 24/7 digital real-time capture of tv-channels
- Different platforms can be captured: analogue cable, satellite, digital tv, …
- Scalable and flexible storage
- Continuous monitoring of image capture & redundant architecture
- Exact time synchronisation of captured images
- Via continuous link with atomic clock of Frankfurt or other reference clock provided over NTP (Network Time Protocol) server
- Automated time coding input from captured images, no manual input at any time!
- Easy to use, ergonomic software interface
- Fast learning curve
- Intelligent semi-automatic software helping the human operator by proposing coding choices, shortcuts, specific search interfaces per coding task, …; and sound matching capabilities for spots and (auto)promotions identification
- Flexible workflow organization and KPI indicators to maximize productivity
- More than 10 years of in-house development experience on the tool
- A single unified software solution for all coding tasks
- Coding of programmes
- Coding of commercial breaks and individual commercials
- Coding of sponsorships
- Coding of (auto)promos
- Coding of other small elements such as channel identifiers, logos,
- Coding flexibility & tailor made solutions
- The same software can be used to provide additional or specific ways of coding at the request of channels within a single market by means of profiling of the coding environment to specific projects. A general basic coding service to the market does not block needs for additional adapted or specific coding for certain players in any way
- Coding of programmes and commercial breaks
- Integrated solution for structuring of broadcasts in different levels
- allows identification of programme parts (for programmes splitby commercial breaks) separately and to calculate both gross and net audience easily
- Integrated programme dictionary
- To guarantee coherent spelling and use of programme titles
- Integrated genre typology for programmes
- Integrated solution for coding of first broadcast or repeat
- Integrated solution for structuring of broadcasts in different levels
- Coding of commercials, sponsorships and promos
- Attribution of a unique material identifier for commercials and sponsorships
- Provide alerts on new campaigns
- Create a library
- Integrated sound matching
- For identification and matching of commercials, sponsorships and promos
- Integrated visual control for identification and matching of versions
- For commercials and sponsorships
- Identification of promos linked to the programme dictionary, coding of the kind of promo (generic schedule overview or specific for a particular programme+title) and a supplementary coding of announced delay can also be done (for example: tonight, next week, now, …
- Attribution of a unique material identifier for commercials and sponsorships
- Data exchange platform (OPTIONAL)
- Fusion/merge with data delivered by the channels is possible, delivering output files to the market containing internal data from the channels, this method can be used for some or all channels (cost will vary depending on the level of technical format standardization of the input files of the channels)
- A broadcast typology can be attributed to:
- broadcast elements: programmes, commercial breaks and sponsorship
-
Broadcast quality control and reporting of broadcast problems (OPTIONAL)
-
