Digital Nirvana, a provider of leading-edge media monitoring and metadata generation services, today announced that MetadataIQ, its SaaS-based tool that automatically generates speech-to-text and video intelligence metadata, now supports Avid CTMS APIs. As a result, video editors and producers can now use MetadataIQ to extract media directly from Avid Media Composer or Avid MediaCentral Cloud UX (MCCUX) rather than having to connect with Avid Interplay first. This capability will help broadcast networks, postproduction houses, sports organizations, houses of worship, and other Avid users that do not have Interplay in their environments to benefit from MetadataIQ.

Previously, only Avid Interplay users were able to employ MetadataIQ to extract media and insert speech-to-text and video intelligence metadata as markers within an Avid timeline. Now, all Avid Media Composer/MCCUX users will be able to do this. They will also be able to:
• Ingest different types of metadata, such as speech to text, facial recognition, OCR, logos, and objects, each with customizable marker durations and color codes for easy identification of metadata type.
• Submit files without having to create low-res proxies or manually import metadata files into Avid Media Composer/MCCUX.
• Automatically submit media files to Digital Nirvana’s transcription and caption service to receive the highest quality, human-curated output.
• Submit data from MCCUX into Digital Nirvana’s Trance product to generate transcripts, captions, and translations in-house and publish files in all industry-supported formats.

California’s Riverside County Selects BenQ for Massive Presentation Systems Upgrade

BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, has announced that Riverside County, Calif. has installed hundreds of its presentation and display systems in government facilities throughout the county. After extensive testing of solutions offered by top manufacturers, Riverside invested in more than 100 InstaShow S WDC20 systems, the first all-hardware, plug-and-play 4K wireless presentation system designed to make meetings and collaboration intuitive, simple, and secure. With the addition of 150 BenQ RP8602 86” 4K interactive cloud whiteboards and dozens of its DVY23 4K digital zoom conference cameras, Riverside County now enjoys an ideal solution for presentation, training and meetings. The systems’ intuitive ease of use has won raves from the county’s public servants who use them daily, as well as from its IT department which has found them remarkably easy to install and support.

Riverside infrastructure engineer Mike Corona led the county’s successful upgrade of its presentation technology, moving away from ceiling-mounted projectors, which were expensive and time-consuming to maintain. “I tested competing wireless presentation systems and found some I liked, but they required you to download software for them to work, which defeated the purpose of looking for a new system,” said Corona. “Another system was too flaky, and it never worked.” Other systems didn’t support the new “bring your own device” mode of working that has quickly become standard. After Corona put all the products to the test, the clear winner was BenQ. Riverside quickly standardized on complete BenQ systems throughout the county, immediately reaping the benefits of enhanced collaboration.

Just Add Power, a leader in video-over-IP distribution, is amping up the capabilities of its 718KVM/749KVM transmitters to offer full AVP functionality with Dolby chipsets that are now available for order. Built in response to the incredible customer demand for the company’s 718AVP and 749AVP transmitters at a time when the solutions’ Dolby downmixing chipset was in short supply, the 718KVM/749KVM transmitters support keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) — as well as stereo audio breakout — right out of the box. With the installation of the new Dolby chipset, the transmitters can be modified in the field to deliver full AVP performance.

“When supply chain issues threatened to disrupt workflow and investments, we knew we had to solve this hardware problem with the same modular and flexible approach that has made Just Add Power an AV distribution leader,” said Taft Stricklin, sales team manager for Just Add Power. “We are pumped to offer the new Dolby chipset and introduce a whole new level of modularity. With the 718KVM and 749KVM transmitters now a permanent part of our portfolio, installers have a lower cost of entry into Just Add Power AV distribution with KVM functionality, or they can add the chipset — supporting AVP and enabling Dolby downmixing only where needed.”
