Pictron Video Gateway unleashes the power
of searchable video revolutionizing the way video is accessed and used
on the Internet and Intranets. Video Gateway automatically detects video
scene changes, extracts keyframes and summarizes the video content into
a visual storyboard format. A text transcript of the video is extracted
from closed caption text or speech recognition (Audio Gateway) to
provide full text search capabilities. Video Gateway can further encode
multiple video streams in Real, Microsoft, or MPEG formats during
real-time video indexing with perfect synchronization. Video
attributes, annotations, and metadata are cataloged automatically into
the database. All of this information is synchronized through the SMPTE
time code of the digitized video. Video Gateway derives a structured
visual storyboard and indexes information from unstructured content to
produce a highly interactive, searchable video.
Video Gateway provides a cost-effective
video logging and indexing system in an integrated Microsoft Windows environment. It is
tightly integrated with industry standard SQL servers, text index servers, video servers,
and Web servers with unparalleled scalability. Users can search and browse video clips
using standard Internet browsers or integrated Video Gateway client software.
