AMI System

TAG

If you create or sell video or audio media you know how expensive it is to produce, so you keep it. You cannot re-sell or re-use it unless you know exactly what it contains - it is simply a cost to your business.

We are able to take your media files and tag them. Using our unique AMI system, we identify the content on a second by second basis, giving you a searchable index.

If your media is on tape or in an analogue format we can transcode into virtually any format of your choosing.

The tagged index we produce is in an XML compliant format, and we supply the tools to allow you to edit and search it, so you can find what you want.

If you would like the output in a different XML format we can also provide this.

In short, if you have media files, simply taking up space and not producing revenue, we supply a complete solution, tagging your files so that you know their content and can re-use or resell.

SARA

EDIT and SEARCH

We supply a simple to use application called MARI which allows you to see and edit the tagged index we produce. This also allows you to add additional tags, perhaps the name of the actors, the location and many other aspects.

If you wish to search one or more media files, we also supply a Google-like system, called SARA which allows you to carry out key word searches on your media. Results take a few seconds to appear and are ranked in order of relevance. You can click on the thumbnail images of the results and quickly check to see if the clip you want has been found. If you know how to use any internet search engine, you know how to use SARA.

All our products use our proprietary frame accurate media player, which shows the exact frame you ask for, in contrast to many popular media players which can be up to 30 seconds away from where you ask them to play.

Both MARI and SARA are intuitive to use and you can be editing and searching your media in ten minutes.

AdVisor

A common problem is finding the best place to insert advertisements. Viewers hardly notice when a break is in an appropriate place, but it stands out when it is wrong. Placing advertisements is a very time consuming activity. Since it is so inherently boring, mistakes are common.

If you supply us with your media and say how often you want to insert advert breaks we will do the rest. The AdVisor system based on our unique AMI technology is able to find intelligent places to place advertisements. We will ensure that it does not happen in the middle of a conversation or car chase.

If your media is not in the format you wish, we can transcode it into almost any other format.

Just supply us with the files and we will do the rest.
