Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring Solution

Channels such as BBC News, CNN, Sky News and many other broadcasters have identified the need to deliver real-time news coverage as stories break. The need for journalists to be updated on breaking news with access to background stories is just one of the ways we see the value in having appropriate and related information assets available.

Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring solution is a next-generation technology that enables you to monitor, analyze, and index live broadcast feeds automatically in real time from digital, satellite and cable television, radio, and the Internet. The solution supports real-time operations by creating automatic hyperlinks to relevant content, delivering it automatically to those who need it, in real time, regardless of their location.

Broadcast monitoring agencies must also be able to track stories as they develop across a multitude of channels, frequently across multiple countries, and in different languages and dialects. Autonomy ensures users can stay ahead of the game and automatically monitor multiple broadcast streams to get instant visibility to breaking stories, to track competitors, and to monitor company news coverage in virtually any format and language.

Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring solution leverages the power of Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), technology that can process and understand over 150 languages, including double-byte languages. This capability enables you to configure the application to auto-detect the language of incoming feeds.

Scalability can be a major challenge for vendors in the media broadcast monitoring environment. Success depends on the ability to automatically index, process, and archive hundreds of live feeds and alerts when necessary. These capabilities are common practice for Autonomy and one reason our technology is widely adopted in the most challenging environments.

Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring offers unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage across all electronic media and can monitor an virtually unlimited number of channels simultaneously without a loss in performance. Because our solutions are built upon the principles of Meaning Based Computing, we enable you to automatically analyze, encode, and capture content from live data streams, Autonomy allows organizations to monitor breaking stories, advertising, press coverage and much more with unprecedented efficiency. We also offer sophisticated techniques that create individual user profiles, and generate automatic, real-time alerts as relevant content emerges, to ensure users are constantly up-to-date on evolving stories.

Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring delivers a range of advantages that enable you to:

Ad Hoc Video Editing

Autonomy's Broadcast Monitoring supports ad hoc video editing by performing conceptual analysis on live streams in real time. By analyzing the live data as it comes in, the solution extracts concepts discussed and offers hyperlinks to related videos and files. This means background information can be retrieved automatically without requiring users to sift through different archives.
