During the Belgian Broadcast Days of 12 and 13 May 2011 VRT-medialab outlined the results of the research projects CHAMP, MediaMap and MediaLoep.
The CHAMP platform, currently being developed by VRT-medialab, is an innovative platform allowing programme makers to create a multimedia story in an efficient and easily accessible way. By means of a tablet PC, VRT-medialab researchers demonstrated the unique possibilities the platform has to offer. Furthermore, VRT-medialab realised in close collaboration with the production company Sputnik the use case “Tournée Générale”. View the demo here:
MediaMap is a European project aiming to improve the quality of independent production by capturing semantic metadata during the pre-production stage. In the frame of this project, VRT-medialab developed Mammie, a core media asset management system. Mammie is responsible for the ingest, transcoding and storage of media material. There was also a demo of the Mission Manager, a tool to create camera missions, which was developed by both Perfect Memory and RTBF.
Another VRT-medialab project, MediaLoep was also presented. MediaLoep is a search application which re-uses information created during pre-production (news preparation, subtitles, scripts, EPG) as metadata in order to improve the search within large media collections. This metadata is also coupled to the semantic web to enable advanced search features. A demo of MediaLoep’s possibilities can be viewed here:
