Virage SmartEncode™ includes: ControlCenter, VideoLogger, Media Analysis Plug-Ins, Database Plug-Ins and VideoLogger Software Developer's Kit (SDK).

Virage VideoLogger™

Virage VideoLogger™ Virage's keystone product, is a powerful and award-winning video indexing and encoding software that is the critical first step to any video production or distribution strategy. At the same time video is being encoded, VideoLogger's advanced capture and analysis technology works in real time to automatically create a structured index about the content. Time-synchronized to every encoded copy made, the index enables immediate, accurate search and retrieval of assets. In addition, because the video is data-driven, it can then be tied to applications for revenue generation, enhanced collaboration and expedited communication. VideoLogger can match any workflow and be tailored to suit any specific workflow needs due to its open architecture and ability to integrate into the existing IT infrastructure. By making video easy to identify, locate and re-use, VideoLogger allows pieces to be assembled and repurposed faster and with greater accuracy than ever before.

VS Archive™ used by organizations such as Deutsche Bank and Boeing, is a content management solution to store, categorize, manage, retrieve and distribute audio, video and other rich media content fast and efficiently. The product suite not only streamlines the process of retrieving archived content for broadcasters but it is also invaluable for organizations such as intelligence agencies, educational establishments and corporations. These organisations hold a wealth of information in recorded lectures, interviews, presentations and broadcasts and frequently need to access this content for the purposes of training, marketing or investigation. VS Archive™ gives organizations the security of knowing that valuable assets will be preserved for the future.

VS Broadcast Monitoring™

VS Broadcast Monitoring™ is a real-time monitoring and content management solution combining automated scheduling, analysis and encoding of incoming broadcast content.

VS Radio Server™ enables radio stations, such as Capital Radio in the UK, to monitor and track sponsorship, promotions, on-air mentions and presenter credits automatically. The solution uses high-precision, real-time software to detect and record any brand mentions or phrases as they are transmitted, whether scheduled "live reads," ad hoc, or spontaneous.
