Anvato enables closed captions for TV broadcasters on both Desktop and Mobile Devices.

Mountain View, CA (USA), Monday – August 13, 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 released a full solution to enable closed captioning for live and on-demand video on both desktop and mobile devices.

Anvato allows TV broadcasters to acquire closed captions directly from broadcast and includes all the tools to present the closed captions in the right format to end users. The solution is not only compatible with both desktop and mobile devices, but also supports multiple languages.

Anvato ( http://www.anvato.com ) captures video and closed captions at the broadcast source including direct decoding from HD-SDI signals. It saves captions as separate, editable meta-data files. Closed Captions are encoded to the proper format for each requesting device including DFXP, SMPTE-TT, SCC, SRT.

“We provide TV broadcasters the simplest yet the most powerful solution to comply with the new closed captions regulations,” says Alper Turgut, CEO of Anvato. “It is a one-stop-shop solution and takes less than an hour to install, and there is no upfront hardware cost to get started.”

If missing from the broadcast stream, captions can be manually uploaded through the Anvato Media Content Platform in more than 180 languages. When a file for a specific language is uploaded, the language becomes instantly available from the player’s closed caption menu for the viewers to select and play.

Closed Caption Search
“In-player closed captions search will revolutionize the way people navigate and consume video,” explains Alper Turgut.

The Anvato player ( http://www.anvato.com ) allows viewers to jump to any scene inside a video just by performing a closed-captions search in the language of their choice. This unique feature allows viewers to easily find and access their favorite scenes in seconds.

Power Video Editing with Closed Caption Navigation:
Anvato’s live capture editor allows users to browse captions and click on a specific word or segment of the dialogue. This instantly brings the video to the point where this word is pronounced. Video editors can navigate videos and create clips from relevant segment by browsing closed captions.

Broadcasters may contact Anvato to learn more about the solution. To see a demonstration visit:

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.

Anvato has been an innovator in video. It is the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan Global Innovation Award in Online Video with customers such as Univision, Journal Broadcast Group and Endplay.
