Journal Broadcast uses Anvatovideo platform tocreateand syndicate video clips from live broadcast.
Mountain View, CA (USA), Thursday – March 29, 2012 — Anvato Inc. ( http://www.anvato.com ), the only video platform that combines live and on-demand video publishing, distribution and monetization in broadcast quality, today announced it has signed Journal Broadcast Group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a successful operator of 14 television stations and 33 radio stations stretching from Florida to California.
Journal Broadcast is already realizing the benefits of using the Anvato’s Live Capture Editor to create clips in near real-time, from all of Journal’s local television broadcasts.
“Anvato makes publishing video to our multi-platform properties easier and faster than ever before,” said Michael Gay, Vice President of Interactive Media for Journal. “Our stations are using Anvato’s tool to publish within moments of video airing in broadcast. The HD capture enables the quality of the video to be exceptional on our sites, on mobile devices, and in our syndication outlets. Plus, because Anvato is web-based, we can have editors generate and publish those clips from anywhere.”
Live Capture boxes installed at local stations allow Journal’s content producers to capture high definition video directly from live broadcast signals. Journal video editors are able to access the video feed remotely, through a browser, to cut out and edit video clips such as TV shows, or news reports.
“It is about creating premium inventory faster and more effectively from live broadcasts,” said Anvato CEO Alper Turgut. “Broadcast cue tones, combined with Anvato’s computer vision based video fingerprint called Anvato Perceptual Signature™, infallibly detect scene and context changes to automatically segment the live broadcast stream. Editors can cut clips and fine-tune under a minute.”
Anvato’s Auto-Segmenter tool utilizes computer vision to locate television commercials and remove them from the clip in one click. The resulting clip is free of commercials, ready to be monetized for the web. Other productivity features include closed-caption navigation, and automatic clip meta-data population based on electronic program guides.
