Looking back on one year in 'TV search'

November 20 2008 by Rakesh

It’s been a little over a year since we released the SnapStream Server, our turn-key TV search appliance that allows organizations to record lots of TV and then search inside those recordings, and we've accomplished a lot in that year! Some of the highlights:

  • Over 3 major software updates, we've expanded the SnapStream Server's capabilities, including:
    • Real-time TV search and clipping
    • Filter searches by show genre and channel
    • Simple clip creation
    • 24x7 recordings with program guide data
    • E-mail a clip
    • Google OneBox integration
    • Frame-by-frame playback and clipping
    • and more...
  • From a year ago, when we only had a handful of customers, we now have a broad customer base including:
    • Government organizations at the city, county, state and federals levels
    • Universities
    • K-12 schools
    • TV and radio entertainment properties
    • TV stations
    • Political campaigns and organizations
  • Internally, we've grown our team in almost every area

And we'll soon release the 4.9 version of SnapStream Enterprise that will, among other things, coincide with our offering a SnapStream Server TV search appliance that can record and search clear QAM and ATSC broadcasts.

So it's been a great year, we have even more people using SnapStream to find whatever it is they are looking for on traditional television, and the product is only going to keep getting better!

What is SnapStream? There's an unlimited amount of video content out there: 24/7 news channels, breaking news events, sports, talk shows, awards galas, entertainment shows, and so much more.

SnapStream makes a real-time news and media search engine that makes it fast and easy to find the video moments that support our customers telling great stories.
