Synchronized, the European based ‘Smart Video‘ technology company, announced today that its Smart-Video Platform supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) Media Intelligence (AWS MI) solutions.
The demand for video content is growing at an unprecedented rate. By 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic — 15 times higher than it was in 2017[1]. To meet this demand, media content production is exploding.
As of mid-2020, U.S. consumers had over 300 streaming video services to choose from — and over the next few years, and according to Nielsen, a fifth of TV time in OTT-enabled homes is spent watching streaming services.
Whilst benefitting from more content choices, customers often struggle to find what they are looking for or discover new content in their preferred language. Content producers face multiple obstacles such as how to make content easy to search and discover, repurpose content, translate and subtitle content at scale, and streamline operations to ensure quality and compliance. Traditional options to perform these kinds of tasks have been costly, slow, and difficult to scale, and often require human oversight.
To overcome these challenges and solve common media problems, AWS launched AWS MI solutions to allow organizations to analyze their media content, discover new insights and opportunities, and increase the lifetime value of the content. Synchronized is among the first AWS Partners to support the AWS MI solutions.
Synchronized's Smart Video platform is a cloud-based, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) turnkey solution for media intelligence, providing broadcasters and OTT Platforms a central hub for all in-video AI generated time-coded metadata, objects and assets.
With AWS MI solutions, Synchronized makes it easy to add AI/ML to media workflows, with no prior experience required.
This enables clients to automate workflow significantly scaling the transfer of linear video content to digital offerings. Content owners can now create rich & personalised user-experiences, unlock contextual advertising, and fast-track promotional content creation and distribution across their entire video inventory as well as accessing an unprecedented level of granular data around their content.
Nicolas Lemaitre – Digital Director – TF1 Group states:
“Due to the ever-increasing size of the MyTF1 catalog, manual delivery of editorial tasks, such as the creation of thumbnails, is no longer scalable. Synchronized’s media intelligence solution and its applied artificial intelligence allow us to automate part of these tasks and enhance our premium content. We can now process bulk video content rapidly and with high quality control reducing cost and time to market.”
Guillaume Doret - CEO of Synchronized states:
“Synchronized is proud to be part of the AWS Media Intelligence solutions launch. Working with AWS and using state-of-the-art AI and machine learning services is a fantastic way to accelerate our focus on this unique area of differentiation and provide turnkey media intelligence solutions to any broadcaster & video-content-owner.”
