Media Intelligence Platform Applications:
Capture
Whether it’s for sports, news, or editorial programs, broadcasters, networks and
program producers need to be able to quickly and easily capture and repurpose
live or linear HD content from many sources to succeed in today’s competitive
landscape. Legacy capture and ingest solutions are expensive and hard to use
while legacy cable capture solutions are unreliable, awkward, and not quick to air.
To maintain their competitive edge, producers need easy-to-use ingest solutions
that can handle the diversity of their feeds, from cameras to cable, and are
accessible anytime, anywhere.
The Media Intelligence Platform ™, equipped with the Capture application, provides
an easy-to-use live or linear acquisition solution that works across the diversity of
sources: baseband, MPEG-TS or post-STB. The Capture solution can encode live,
network contribution, and cable/satellite/IPTV feeds for fast easy clipping into an
editing workflow. Users can review content as it is captured, immediately clip highvalue content, and push it directly to editing and media asset management
speeding their time to air.
Workflow
Share
The need to deliver content to a multitude of linear and digital platforms and
destinations has become the new standard. Today’s broad-caster must deliver new
content to multiple linear channels, web, cell, and social media platforms.
The Share application provides convenient workflow for dissemination of captured
assets to multiple distribution channels. The broad-caster can clip and export
segments of existing content or repurposed content complete with accurate
captions. One-button publishing profiles facilitate rapid processing of content to
meet appropriate container and encoding requirements for an array of platforms,
including target websites, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Observer Share also
makes use of existing closed captioning text to publish content that is compliant
with government regulations.

Review
The power to monitor what other channels are doing, review ratings, and analyze
content is essential, especially in the world of competitive news and sports. In the
newsroom, where time is always of the essence, broadcasters want the ability to

channels, within a particular area or across networks.
Television networks, stations, and cable networks use Volicon’s Review application
for this purpose. Promoting collaboration between producers, editors, sales, and
research departments, Review provides the tools needed to create winning content
strategies for in-creased ratings, insightful competitive analysis, and improved
strategies for escalating advertising revenues.
