Bulldog and Virage Demonstrate End-to-end Video Logging And Content Management Solution

Content Providers, Broadcasters and Interactive Broadcasters benefit from seamless integration of Virage's searchable video technology with Bulldog's enterprise content management solution.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada--April 19, 1999--The Bulldog Group, Inc., the leading content management software and consulting services provider, and Virage, Inc., the pioneer and recognized market leader in providing products and technologies that make video searchable, today demonstrated Virage's VideoLogger™ application integrated into Bulldog's enterprise content management solution. Demonstrations of the end-to-end video library solution, which features logging, browsing, searching and retrieval of digital video content, can be seen at the Bulldog booth #S6652.

Virage's VideoLogger is a Windows NT application that runs on a standard Pentium II PC. VideoLogger "watches, listens to and reads" video, automatically extracting a wealth of information including keyframes, audio profiles, closed captioned text and time codes that serves as a frame accurate index back to the video. This index can now be saved directly into Bulldog's scalable content management solution, providing a single data store for the index and source video as well as multiple digitized versions of the video. Once in Bulldog, the video content and its associated information can be organized, stored, searched and distributed globally in a secure, reliable manner.
