Canadian House of Commons Video Capture and Management Conference Room Pilot

Work done as Cap Gemini employee.

Goal:

The Canadian House of Commons wanted to integrate the recorded video of the House sessions, the typed Hansard transcript, and both audio tracks (English/French) into linked assets, containing metadata encoded throughout them, so that video clips could be found through a normal keyword search. The solution also required a scalable, and cost-effective storage solution, which included an online, near-line and offline strategy for asset and metadata storage.

Highlights:

Video ingestion, keyframing, asset storage strategy,  video/text search, multi-lingual metadata, video/text/audio integration

Technologies/Tools:

Artesia DAM (now OpenText), Telestream Flip Factory, Virage VideoLogger

Responsibilities:

  • Member of team charged with delivering the response to the House of Commons RFP, focused on describing the workflows and business processes of the solution
  • Managed the relationship with multiple vendors to create an integrated solution
  • Developed a conference room pilot showing how video could be ingested, tagged with metadata, then searched and accessed in the system
  • Developed user scenarios and interfaces that illustrated how the solution would work in a different industry environments: government, broadcasting
