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
