COVERA CONFIRMS DEAL WITH NGT FILM LIBRARY

CONVERA, providers of cross-lingual, multi-media, advanced search and content management solutions, have announced that Convera’s Screening Room has been selected as the video content management software for the National Geographic Television (NGT) Film Library.
Screening Room will be used to digitise and index thousands of hours of video.
As video is ingested into digital form, National Geographic’s Film Library will use Screening Room’s Browse feature to search for, preview and re-purpose these video assets – all from an internet enabled desktop computer.
NGT will also provide preferred customers with secure, online access to the video archive enabling them to select and license copyrighted material.
Matthew White, Vice President of the Film Library at NGT, said: “Our immediate goal is to use Screening Room to provide production staff at NGT and the National Geographic Channel with unfettered access to a wealth of video resources and stock footage. In addition to streamlining our broadcast production process, Screening Room will also make it easier for other clients to search our video archive and select footage that meets their needs.”
Nearly 2000 hours of video had already been digitised by NGT and will be transferred to the Convera system. Another 2000 hours of existing analogue footage will be ingested into the system over the next year.
In addition to digitising archived footage, screening Room nwill be used on an ongoing basis to ingest and catalogue National Geographic Channel and NGT programming along with associated B-roll footage. (CD)
