San Mateo, Calif.- Virage, the recognized market leader of video cataloging and media analysis software, announced today (5/19) that Bell Atlantic Video has licensed Virage's video and audio search products for its state-of-the-art media archiving service bureau. Bell Atlantic's video archiving service is a turn-key service providing enterprise-wide media asset management and video distribution to corporations and government agencies, virtually eliminating the cost and complexity of building in-house media management systems.
Bell Atlantic Video is incorporating Virage's VideoLogger™, AudioLogger™ and Video Search Tools™ software to provide searchable video and audio for its archiving service. Searchable audio capabilities are part of the complete solution, including real-time speech to text indexing, speaker identification and audio classification.
Bell Atlantic has developed the video archiving service for corporations or institutions with large active video content libraries such as broadcasters, production houses, educators and integrated health care providers.
