Virage Launches ControlCenter™ Along with German and Italian Speech-to-Text Engines for Virage Audiologger™
ControlCenter™ Centralizes Management of All Video Capture, Encoding and Indexing Functions of Multiple VideoLogger® Stations
Virage Adds Real-Time German and Italian Speech-to-Text Recognition Capabilities to AudioLogger™ Software
IBC 2000 CONFERENCE, AMSTERDAM - September 9, 2000 - Virage, Inc. [NASDAQ: VRGE], a leading provider of software products and application services that enable video for the Internet, today announced and demonstrated ControlCenter™, a new workflow application that centralizes the management of all video capture, encoding and indexing functions performed by multiple VideoLogger® stations. Designed to allow 24x7 remote access and control of multiple deployments of VideoLogger, ControlCenter allows users to schedule, monitor and manage multiple video feeds and events from a remote workstation.
Carlos Montalvo, vice president of marketing at Virage, said: "A growing number of our broadcast and Internet customers want to deploy and integrate dozens of VideoLoggers at a time. With the Virage ControlCenter they can simplify and integrate the management and control of multi-feed broadcast and streaming media production facilities. ControlCenter builds enormous efficiencies into enterprise wide video and streaming media production by providing a single point of administration and immediate access to a network of VideoLoggers."
Efficient and Automatic Remote Control
Virage ControlCenter remotely controls and automates the SmartEncode™ process of simultaneous video capture, encoding and indexing for multiple VideoLogger applications. ControlCenter provides centralized, remote control over content coming into each VideoLogger. By managing multiple VideoLoggers concurrently, ControlCenter builds enormous efficiencies into the video streaming media workflow. ControlCenter allows users to scale their VideoLogger environment without adding overhead. ControlCenter has been engineered to allow maximum orchestration of mission-critical events with minimal online navigation. Single-point administration allows immediate access and control of a network of VideoLogger activity with the click of a mouse.
ControlCenter provides complete flexibility in scheduling events. Users can orchestrate one or more events on multiple VideoLoggers and specify detailed properties for each session. Variable timeline views show the availability of VideoLogger resources at any time. Built to accommodate real life workflow variations, ControlCenter delivers maximum automation, flexibility and control.
Proactive, Real-Time Status Monitoring
The ControlCenter interface provides a wealth of information at a glance. Video capture thumbnails display incoming feeds in real time and instantly reveal the status of any VideoLogger across the network. The Calendar and Event windows make it easy to program, navigate and locate scheduled events. Detailed log files for all networked VideoLoggers are centrally compiled for detailed reporting of past event activity. ControlCenter also provides proactive monitoring tools. For example, advanced resource management features provide e-mail notification of event and resource failure. Also, inadvertent attempts to program conflicting events are monitored, thereby maintaining schedule integrity.
Remote Server and VideoLogger Configuration
ControlCenter single-point administration capabilities minimize time spent configuring multiple systems. Users can register and delete remote VideoLoggers, as well as set up target VideoLoggers with custom configurations for each scheduled event. Built on an open and extensible architecture, ControlCenter will easily integrate into existing IT infrastructures.
Specific ControlCenter Features
ControlCenter offers a breadth of features to meet the most demanding requirements of mission critical applications. These include:
Centralized interface to allow scheduling, monitoring and management of VideoLogger resources
Sophisticated monitoring displays real-time status and incoming feeds for each VideoLogger
Graphical overview of daily scheduled events
Flexible and easy-to-use scheduling interface
Sophisticated event definition and event conflict notification
Pro-active error notification via e-mail
Remote configuration customizes target VideoLoggers for each event
Developer features provide ability to extend architecture through script commands
Takes advantage of NT service to ensure unattended operations of VideoLogger and the ControlCenter server
Support for analogue or digital video
Support control for multiple VideoLogger workstations
Virage Announces New German and Italian Speech to Text Engines for AudioLogger
Virage also announced and demonstrated today two new versions of its award-winning AudioLogger™ software. The Virage AudioLogger is first to market with real time speech to text recognition for both German and Italian Audio cataloging applications. These two new products are an extension to the previously released English and Spanish versions of AudioLogger.
AudioLogger automatically transforms audio content of a video into searchable text in real time. By intelligently "listening" to the audio track of a video stream, the AudioLogger identifies spoken words, speaker names and audio types, virtually eliminating the expensive and labor-intensive manual annotation process traditionally used to log video. Used in conjunction with the Virage VideoLogger™, the market leading video indexing application, AudioLogger provides significant value to any organization that creates or distributes large volumes of video by dramatically reducing the time spent searching for and publishing video segments.
