Tedial proposes an end-to-end IMF solution to the media industry

At a time when the IMF format is accelerating its implementation, Tedial proposes a solution capable of receiving IMFs, modifying them or even creating them from scratch and distributing them.

A new product and the opening of a new line of business mark the presence of Tedial in this NAB 2018.

Regarding the solution, at a time when the IMF format is accelerating its implementation, Tedial proposes a solution capable of receiving IMFs, modifying them or even creating them from scratch and distributing them.

Being full end-to-end IMF, Tedial's proposal supports the IMF format from the beginning to the end of the workflow.

Esther Mesas, sales and marketing director at Tedial, emphasizes that “we can now receive IMF, edit it (since we have developed an IMF editor) and distribute IMF in any type of online content reception and distribution.”

Furthermore, Tedial's solution allows you to create IMF from different separate files (audio, video...), creating an IMF package with the desired specifications.

"In a way it is what we could call a hyper-IMF since we can receive it, modify it, create it from scratch and distribute it. At Tedial, we go one step further," acknowledges Mesas. And although the SMPTE specifies the JPEG2000 format, the Andalusian company offers the client the opportunity to use another video format that they want to put within the IMF.

"With this solution, we are pioneers in the development of an end-to-end IMF solution, already installed and tested by a Hollywood major. Netflix, for example, has already standardized that all material received must be IMF, which is why in the United States it is very important to be prepared for the take-off of the IMF, as it will soon be in other territories such as Europe," stated Esther Mesas.

Smartlive

Another of Tedial's novelties at this fair is Smarlive, a solution that aims to revolutionize the production of live sports. Its unique development marries Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an innovative metadata engine to bring the back office and files closer than ever.

Esta estrecha integración admite un mayor número de momentos destacados, durante o después de un evento, y permite que se entregue una historia específica a un público objetivo a través de múltiples plataformas, incluidas las redes sociales, lo que aumenta el potencial de crecimiento significativo en la participación de los aficionados.

Smartlive simplifies event preparation by capturing equipment data, events and statistics, automatically creating an event within its metadata engine. Simultaneously, it automatically creates the corresponding log sheets, player lineups and different video sources for the event. All of these preparations are linked and organized into collections, so an entire season of sporting events can be automatically prepared in advance.

Esta solución es agnóstica a cualquier deporte y a cualquier proveedor de datos, el potente motor de metadatos de Smartlive se puede configurar fácilmente para crear un proceso automático de ingesta de metadatos y abordar flujos de trabajo deportivos exigentes y complejos.

La nueva propuesta de Tedial conecta directamente el contenido con los motores de Inteligencia Artificial: el reconocimiento de video y audio se puede aprovechar para generar datos de localización y anotar proxies de media en vivo a través de múltiples entradas de cámara o de lugar.

Durante los eventos, todos los datos de eventos del PAM se ingestan en su formato nativo, aumentando automáticamente los registros de proxy, y el sistema se puede configurar para crear automáticamente clips basados ​​en acciones, palabras clave o momentos loggeados. Una vez creados, estos aspectos destacados pueden publicarse automáticamente en las redes sociales o pasarse a flujos de trabajo que mejoren la realización. Estos destacados pueden ser relativos a un solo evento, un jugador estrella en particular o una temporada completa.

Smartlive dramatically increases the usefulness of the MAM GUI interface, bringing MAM much closer to live production than ever before. It is 100% compatible with PAM providers such as SAM or EVS, making it the perfect tool to orchestrate all business processes on top of an existing PAM, including the use of historical files in live production. You can then manage the media lifecycle or media mobility between different sites.

Además, no solo trae archivos históricos en registros de PAM en vivo en el formato que un PAM pueda usar de inmediato, sino que también reduce el tiempo de preparación de producción y permite a los broadcasters, titulares de derechos, clubes y federaciones aumentar significativamente el número de momentos destacados creados durante o después de evento deportivo con menos personal gracias a su motor de destaque automático y la integración de la inteligencia artificial. Más contenido publicado significa más ingresos.

En NAB, Tedial está demostrando la creación automática de destacados con Smartlive, su integración con motores AI, así como la integración de voz a texto anotando los medios vivos entrantes con el socio tecnológico Speechmatics y la función de publicación automática con el socio tecnológico Tellyo.

Esther Mesas has commented that "the market is responding with great expectation to this new proposal from Tedial. In this case, a solution for the production of live events, with automation and creation of highlights and sending to social networks. Thanks to SmartLive, along with live production we are automatically creating highlights for immediate publication on social networks from anywhere, even outside the venue where the sports competition takes place."
