Volicon Delivers Multichannel Video Monitoring and Logging System
February 02, 2005
Burlington, MA - Volicon, Inc. has unveiled a new real-time video logging and monitoring system, called Observer. Observer uses Volicon’s proprietary video processing technology to allow a large number of users to simultaneously access multiple channels of live and archived content on local networks and the Internet, the company reports.
Observer allows operators to efficiently log multiple broadcasts, move to an actual or relative time stamp for any or all monitored channels, retrieve and analyze video clips including metadata and view content locally or remotely.
The ability to store and retrieve metadata, combined with a powerful video search engine developed by Volicon, provides Observer users with significant advantages. For example, Observer users can find and select clips based on a search for words and phrases. Another use of the metadata is the ability to overlay ratings information in real-time during playback of stored clips.
Volicon has devoted significant resources to developing an intuitive user interface for Observer. This interface is designed to work with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser running on a standard PC – no special software is required. Familiar “VCR-style” controls are combined with color cues to clearly indicate which channel(s) are being displayed, whether they are live or recorded, and which channel is providing the audio feed. Users can add or subtract channels from their display on the fly and switch between windowed, split and full-screen display with a simple mouse click.
The typical Observer configuration is housed in a 3U rack-mounted chassis and utilizes RAID controller hard drives for enhanced system reliability. The system is scaleable to record any number of channels and any recording duration by simply adding additional system and storage units.
