Volicon, a provider of video monitoring, recording, archiving, and streaming products, has announced the Observer UNO, a new version of its Observer flagship media monitoring system designed especially for single-channel environments.
Like the traditional Observer, the lower-cost UNO uses Volicon’s proprietary video processing technology to allow a large number of users simultaneous access to live and archived content on local networks and the Internet. Users can log their own and competitors’ broadcasts, as well as retrieve and analyze video clips with metadata, locally or remotely. At 1RU, it takes up a smaller footprint than the traditional Observer and provides 30 (versus 180) maximum days of storage.
Using the Observer UNO, the company said broadcasters can save time in monitoring news and other broadcast content, especially in terms of searching and archiving operations. It automatically records content 24/7, allowing users access on their desktops.
For example, Volicon said the process of searching for, recording, editing and delivering news updates, which used to take hours to complete, can been reduced to minutes. In addition to UNO, Volicon will introduce version 2.0 of the Observer software at NAB2006.
