application - Automatically distinguish between professional
amateur content by looking at both production
technical elements (editing, steadiness, screen
area, color depth, frame rate, etc.) - Automatic content filtering recognition
utilizes a sophisticated learning engine capable
of both selecting and rejecting elements as
desirable or un-desirable. - Automated quality verification
- Ensures encoding meets a specific selectable
standard of quality using a numeric grading scale
to gauge video content - MPEG2 - H.264 trans-coder
- Broadcast quality transcoding to convert
libraries to latest high quality format for
transmission
