Improved ACR for second screen view
Civolution By Will Strauss
Improved Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) for second screen interactivity and the latest advances in content protection are the focus for Civolution at IBC. For ACR, there is a demo of the company’s third generation Syncnow technology which now features faster detection time, enhanced robustness for in-shop interaction or live concerts and a reduction in CPU consumption. A convergence technology called SNAP that enables the same watermark to be used for both second screen synchronisation and audience measurement is also on show. At the same time Civolution is exhibiting enhancements to its NexGuard forensic watermarking technology.
These include NexGuard for Pay TV, where an imperceptible identifier can be added to all video content, revealing the source of piracy when content is re-streamed, transcoded or uploaded to unauthorised media sharing services. NexGuard for Pre-Release is also being showcased. This enables a content owner to track leaked content back to the source through the embedding of an invisible and unique serial number. “The second screen has become an integral part of the TV viewing experience and more content than ever is shared over IP, driving a new era in content consumption,” said Civolution CEO Alex Terpstra. “Over the past 12 months we’ve been working hard to expand the capabilities of SyncNow and NexGuard to help create an ecosystem that is more interactive and secure.”
Civolution has also added support for 4K ProRes and realtime watermarking of IMF/JPEG2000 video, as well as cloud-based watermarking for eScreener videos. 2.B41
Anniversary Newsroom update Octopus By Carolyn Giardina
The 15th anniversary of Octopus Newsroom is being marked with a new software release that underscores what the company believes is the future direction of newsroom systems. Octopus Newsroom was designed to help broadcasters manage, produce and deliver news programming. With version 7.2, customers have access to new tools for production management of user generated content. Idea Stream enables newsroom users to tag and categorise every document, file and image — and even specific URLs, YouTube videos or online images. Individual users can set up alerts to be notified when new content on specific topics has been tagged. “With the advent of audience- generated content and crowd- sourced clips, it is increasingly difficult for news editors to keep track of every relevant file. With this new production
Now we are 15: Octopus is launching version 7.2 of its Newsroom system
management tool, we now have a practical solution to this growing problem,” said sales director, Gabriel Janko. Octopus Newsroom has also enhanced its Facebook toolset for social media management. From the newsroom system itself, users can monitor ‘likes’ as well as publish, share and un- publish content. Instead of deleting posts outright, this feature keeps removed content in an archive, allowing
broadcasters to keep a record of its Facebook activity. Another new feature is Vizrt Integration, which provides an instant preview of Vizrt graphics directly in the Octopus client. “In the newsroom, speed counts,” said Octopus technology partner manager, Milan Varga. “With our Vizrt integration, valuable time is saved. In a live environment, this will make a big difference to news teams.” 7.G11
