AI Development
Video & Audio Understanding
Systems that watch and listen to your media: find people, objects, scenes, speech and topics, and make every second searchable.
The challenge
Why this matters
A media archive without good tags is a closed box. People cannot find what they know exists.
What it is
Video & Audio Understanding in plain words
We build pipelines that analyze video and audio to detect scenes, objects, on-screen text, speakers, topics and key moments, then store the results as timed metadata. Search, rights review, highlight finding and compliance checks all draw on the same index.
Where a decision matters, such as identifying a person, the system routes it to a human reviewer.
Benefits

Review for sensitive cases
A person confirms anything high-stakes.
Works with your library
Connects to existing archives and the Omni video library.

Questions
Common questions
Does it work on old footage?
Quality varies. We test a sample first.
Can it identify people?
Only where you have the right to, and with human review.
Where does the data stay?
We agree the hosting before we start.
