Virage Releases VideoLogger 2.0 at Streaming Media '98 Conference
CNN, Compaq's AltaVista and General Motors among the cross-market spectrum of companies selecting Virage to enhance their operations with searchable video SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--Nov. 10, 1998--Virage, Inc. today released the 2.0 version of its VideoLogger software, the market leading solution for making video searchable. The Virage VideoLogger 2.0 is the first and only video cataloging solution capable of simultaneously indexing video, digitizing multiple video formats and outputting that information into any video application or system. This powerful combination has made the VideoLogger the de facto standard for integrating searchable video across a wide range of markets.
Searchable video offers organizations a number of benefits over raw video. Some of those key benefits include: Increasing productivity by eliminating hours wasted searching for video Reducing cost by decreasing personnel time spent looking for video and eliminating unnecessary tape duplication and mailing Improving decision making processes by providing entire organizations with easy access to the information contained in video Expanding revenue opportunities by leveraging video in entirely new ways Improving communications with customers and employees by publishing interactive video on the Internet or corporate "CNN chose the Virage VideoLogger because it's the only product capable of indexing all of our video content in real time, 24 hours a day 7 days a week," said Kevin Ivey, vice president of research and development of CNN. "There's no room for error in our business. As the world's leading news organization, CNN can only deploy products that are production-proven in mission critical applications. That's why we chose Virage.""AltaVista and Virage defined a new category of content on the Web-searchable video. The response has been overwhelming," said Barry Rubinson, Director of Engineering of Compaq's AltaVista division. "When we decided to put a searchable version of the Clinton testimony on our site, the Virage VideoLogger was able to make it happen in Web time. It allowed us to publish a fully searchable version of the Clinton video to our Web site that same day.""Organizations are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars today to create video-based marketing, training and product communication tools. Yet that investment is often lost as users are unable to easily access and deploy the information contained in those videos," said Paul Lego, chief executive officer of Virage. "Now, for less than the cost of producing 10 minutes of professional video, the Virage VideoLogger turns video into the powerful decision support tool it should be--giving entire companies the ability to index, search and access the vast amount of information in their video libraries." The benefits of searchable video and the ability to integrate that information into a wide variety of video applications and systems has made the Virage VideoLogger the choice for companies in the television, Fortune 1000, government, video production, Web publishing, higher education and advertising markets wishing to enhance their video operations. Current Virage customers include ABC News, BBC, CBS News, CNN, CNN Interactive, Compaq's AltaVista, Energy Productions, General Motors, Harvard Business School, Lockheed Martin, Lucent Technology, as well as several classified and civilian US government agencies.
The Virage VideoLogger 2.0 is a Windows NT application and a powerful solution development framework. Using Virage's patented media analysis technologies, as well as third party technologies, the VideoLogger watches, listens to and reads video in real time to intelligently extract information such as keyframes, time codes, text and an audio profile. This information can also be supplemented by user-defined clips and annotations. Together, they produce a rich, frame-accurate index that provides immediate access to any part of the video, in the same way that a card catalog unlocks the wealth of knowledge in a library. The VideoLogger can also control the synchronous encoding/digitization of multiple low-bandwidth versions of the content. This digital video is lined up precisely with the index so that users can go to a precise point in the video by selecting a keyframe, word or marked clip.

The following APIs are exposed in the VideoLogger 2.0.
