Videocites Targets Machine-Learning, Content-Protection Needs of Sports Industry

The Sports Video Group is pleased to welcome Videocites as a corporate sponsor. Working with some of the major Hollywood studios and large media groups, Videocites is a top provider for automated machine learning and video-based content protection and True Viewership analytics across all social and video platforms.

Videocites has developed a video-by-video search engine (using the visual information to perform each search) and cross-platform services that allow content owners to automatically track and claim their video copies throughout all major social and video platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Dailymotion, VK, and Instagram. The company’s patented video-fingerprinting technology can continuously scale to process the endless number of existing and newly published online videos and live broadcasting.

After a successful collaboration with Hollywood’s major studios, Videocites joined SVG with a mission to contribute also to the sports community in maintaining their rights across the online social platforms. According to Videocites, its services will enable sports companies to better mitigate the overwhelming piracy phenomenon during and after events, to validate their licensing deals, and to increase monetization. In addition, Videocites believes that its True Viewership analytics and insights will be a real eyeopener for industry decision-makers within the content-marketing, -acquisition, and -licensing departments.

Videocites offers customers three product families:

• Automatic Scalable Rights Protection and Management system, including “just-in-time” claiming (before views of copies mount), to allow maximum monetization and robust protection against content infringements.
• Dynamic BI and True Viewership Analytics to identify the real distribution patterns and engagement of video content, provided by big-data analysis of all the copies and metadata. Metrics drive meaningful insights about user preferences, social footprint, brand awareness, influencers, potential affiliates in different market segments and geo-locations.
• On-premises or cloud-based automated Video Deduping system, to detect and remove duplicated content in customers’ own video databases, saving storage costs/overhead, optimizing search, and improving content management.

In addition, Videocites is launching Discover Live, which is focused on the sports industry. Discover Live offers on-demand real-time detection and removal of non-authorized restreaming of sports and other live events. The detection is performed with a very short latency, and takedowns are based on predefined policy and exclusions.
