iPharro technology uses a highly sophisticated video fingerprinting algorithm to identify video content from any source, such as TV, Internet or even pre-existing archives, with unparalleled accuracy. The iPharro solution can be used for a variety of tasks, such as enabling media organisations to pinpoint the exact time, channel and version of any commercial that appears on TV; analyzing which segments of broadcast content have been used and how often; or ensuring that specific content has been transmitted correctly.
Atex’s Polopoly Web Content Management and Publishing platform will be integrated with Signiant for automated Web content movement. With Polopoly, users can seamlessly publish Web content using Signiant to manage the underlying workflow to publish the proper content, in the correct format, to the correct locations throughout the world. Some of the most high-traffic websites in Europe have their roots in the Polopoly platform.
