| Video is a powerful tool
for communicating. As streaming media has become mainstream, so too has
the need to effectively search and manage this potent medium. To unleash
the power of your media assets, Pictron has developed a comprehensive suite
of products and services lending access to compelling and interactive video
on the Web.
The Pictron Media Gateway Suite of products consists of Video
Gateway, Audio Gateway,
Image Gateway, Media
Gateway Search Server, Media Gateway
Presenter, and Media Gateway Director.
Video scene changes are automatically detected and representative key
frames are extracted, summarizing the video content into a storyboard
format that communicates the storyline in a highly effective way. Image
features such as color, shape, and texture and object features such as
human faces, video title text, and user-defined objects are extracted
from video frames to index the visual content. A useful text transcript
of the video is extracted from closed caption text or through speaker-independent
speech recognition to provide synchronized full text indexing. With the
useful storyboard format, a nonlinear access point for viewing video segments
from any key frame is provided. Users can now quickly skim through content
and search for video segments by visual cues, text content, and database
information effortlessly finding key clips of interest. If you’ve
got the video, we can lend you vivid results.
