and Services are designed to power the next generation rich

As streaming media has become mainstream, the interest among consumers to search for video
on the Internet and for content providers to manage their video assets has grown
tremendously. Unlike text information, which is easy to index and search, video content
has not been fully searchable until now.Pictron's proprietary video analysis and artificial intelligence
technology automatically indexes video based on scene changes, text transcripts, human
faces, and objects in the scene. Information-rich clips are then created by
segmenting the video content based on key audio and visual cues. This process makes video
searchable and interactive. Internet users can now search video based on text keywords,
visual content, and database annotation. Instead of viewing video from start to finish,
users can quickly browse the video content through the visual storyboard and instantly
navigate to any desirable video location.
Pictron has developed a comprehensive suite of products and services that enable companies
to offer engaging rich media content on their web sites. Pictron's Media Gateway Suite
includes Video Gateway, Audio
Gateway, Image Gateway, Media
Gateway Search Server, and Media Gateway Director which
used together provide an end-to-end solution for midsize to large enterprises alike. Media
Gateway Service provides a cost-effective solution to video-enable companies with minimum
capital investment. Pictron offers applications suitable for media communications,
corporate training, distance learning, e-Commerce, entertainment, and government.
