Video Gateway unleashes the power of
searchable media revolutionizing the way video is experienced on the Internet and
intranets. Video Gateway derives a structured table of contents (storyboard) and indexes
information (text and visual indices) from an unstructured video to produce highly
compacted audio-visual abstracts for searching and browsing. Instead of viewing video from
start to finish, users can now search segments by visual cues, text content, and video
attributes. The visual storyboard serves as a video browsing and navigation tool for
quickly skimming through video and provides a nonlinear access point to view video
segments from any key frame.
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.
With the Developer
Toolkit, developers can easily build custom video search and retrieval applications
with standard Internet tools and servers. Video Gateway is the gateway to your
video-centric applications, such as, corporate training & communications, distance
learning, e-Commerce, news delivery, and media asset management.
