On April 7-10, we're off to Las Vegas to showcase the new, upcoming features of SnapStream's automated TV monitoring and content repurposing technology at NAB (National Association of Broadcasters). This year, you can find us (exhibiting for our eighth time!) in South Upper Hall SU4321 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Here's a glimpse of the new workflows and features we're debuting at NAB 2014 and how they build on SnapStream's successful enterprise platform:

Record 100's of channels 24/7

• At the beginning of this year, we released new SnapStream ASI, which ingests and records the ASI stream.
• At NAB 2014, you can look forward to another new input source: IP Capture!

Search TV by Keyword

(Click image to enlarge.)

• We recently made TV search even smarter with linguistic intelligence. In addition to exact keyword matches, SnapStream analyzes and includes relevant synonyms, misspelled words, pronouns, suffixes and more to broaden the scope of interesting search results.
• New custom media tags also tie into TV search, because they help you save and search on additional meta data.

Create Unlimited TV Clips

• Earlier this year, we introduced a new option to Clip from Transcript, which saves a video clip based on your selected transcript text.
• At NAB 2014, you can look forward to the unveiling of new, intelligent Auto-Clipping, which auto-magically clips content based on your TV Alerts.

Auto-Share Clips to the Cloud & YouTube

• At NAB 2014, SnapStream will demonstrate the singular clip-and-share process, which seamlessly shares clips to SnapStream's Cloud, to be viewed by anyone, on any device, from anywhere.
• Another new add-on to Cloud Sharing is the ability to grab and send clips more efficiently with batch sharing.
• You'll also see the new auto-upload to YouTube integration. (Stay tuned for a similar integration with Twitter!)

Repurpose High-Quality Content

• We have made new additions to Workflows, many of them brand new at NAB 2014, such as auto-sharing clips according to your set criteria and exporting content to Amazon S3 (cloud-based storage).
• At NAB 2014, we're introducing new SnapStream hardware that speeds up transcoding for faster, more efficient file-based workflows and repurposing.

Meet with us at NAB

Are you going to NAB? Come swing by our booth anytime for a demo of SnapStream's current and upcoming features. Or better yet, reserve a meeting time all to yourself!

On April 8, 2014, Microsoft will be turning off support for Windows XP. If you currently have SnapStream hardware that runs on Windows XP, you are probably wondering what this change will mean for you. So, we'd like to take a moment to answer some of the questions you may have. If we haven't addressed your specific concern, you can always contact SnapStream's Technical Support Team, who's happy to help!

Can I Continue to Use SnapStream?

Yes, you may continue to make use of your SnapStream indefinitely. However, please be aware that Microsoft will no longer provide updates to Windows XP, including updates for critical security issues. If you continue to use SnapStream after Windows XP support ends in April, it will still work, but it may become more vulnerable to security risks. The Washington Post recently published an article about the vulnerability of government computers to hackers in the afterlife of Windows XP.

Will I Continue Receiving SnapStream Support?

As long as you have a valid SnapStream support agreement, our team will continue to provide you with first-class service (phone and email support, troubleshooting and warranty).

What to Do Next?

For the best possible experience in the future, we recommend that you upgrade to our newest hardware platform, which will also afford you with the latest software features. This is truly an opportune time to contact our Technical Support Team and consider upgrading, because:

Get up to a 20% Discount for Windows XP Trade-ins

We are offering up to a 20% discount for traded-in systems to help ease your migration from Windows XP to a brand new SnapStream.

Advantages to Trading in your SnapStream

Stay protected on a newer OS

The current build of the SnapStream SD or HD runs Windows Server 2008 R2 and the SnapStream Small Business Edition runs on Windows 7. According to Microsoft's latest life-cycle plan, upgrading guarantees you will receive critical security updates until at least 2020.

Access to the latest software upgrades

SnapStream software released after 2009 may not be compatible with your older system (check with us for details). Trading in for a new SnapStream connects you to the new Web interface, which provides richer features and management options than our client-based interface.

More robust storage technology and architecture

Our newest platform includes an updated RAID controller and hot spare hard disks, which supply increased redundancy in case of a hard disk failure. We also deliver improved flexibility and reliability through back-end improvements (i.e. SQL server for our software database and an IIS-based Web server).

Faster processing power

An upgraded processor allows you to transcode video faster, and our clustering support allows the addition of dedicated nodes for even more transcoding power.

Scalability and future-proofing

Clustering enables you to combine multiple SnapStreams to increase tuners, storage and processing power as needed. If you start with 4 SD tuners, you can add more tuners to your configuration as desired or convert them to receive a digital source (HD). Storage is also easily expandable, with a starting capacity of 3TB.

Better chassis

Compared to our older platforms, SnapStream's current build provides improved airflow, more powerful management features and error notifications, and simpler hardware replacement. Even replacing hot-swap hard disks is easier!

Get in touch with SnapStream Technical Support

To discuss your best options for handling the end of support for Windows XP, you can reach out to SnapStream's Technical Support Team at 1-877-696-3674 or support@snapstream.com, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. CDT.

New SnapStream 6.2 has arrived to streamline your everyday workflows that revolve around clipping, sharing and managing TV content. These are the bread-and-butter tasks that most users do pretty frequently.

In the improvements below, you'll see how we shaved off intermediary steps and linked things together, resulting in seamless workflows from start to finish. We designed these changes to help save you time and make monitoring TV more efficient and carefree in general. We hope that brings a smile to your face, because that's our goal.

One-Step Clip and Share

Like a sharp machete, SnapStream's clipping tool can razor cut TV content into fine segments. In the brand new release of 6.2, the once single-blade clipping tool has been upgraded to a Swiss Army Knife. While creating a clip, SnapStream presents several handy options, with a swivel of the wrist:

1. Share Clips in the Cloud - Specify recipients and off it goes, packaged in an email with a link for viewing on SnapStream's cloud.
2. Add Clips to a TV Playlist - Choose a new or existing playlist and load it up with content.
3. Upload Clips to YouTube - See below.

The great thing about this new process is: it saves you that second step of having to do something else after the clip is generated. You don't need to remember to go back and share the clip. It's done and done, one-two punch!

YouTube Integration

More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month and over 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute. And we know that SnapStream users are big time video sharers on YouTube. But it can be a royal pain to transcode, export and upload those TV clips, right? Especially when your boss wants that content live fast. So, what if you had a direct link between the two?

SnapStream 6.2 makes it happen with our new YouTube integration. It's easy: Connect your YouTube account and then upload TV clips directly from SnapStream. If you have more than one account, no problem. Connect them all and you'll be able to choose which clips go where. We provide all of YouTube's standard uploading settings, so fast and seamless.

Make Edits and Clips from Transcript

In SnapStream 6.2, the TV transcript becomes a new vehicle for making clips. By selecting a text block that represents what you'd like to save, SnapStream will clip that video segment for you. For those focused on reading the transcript, this is a great alternative to making clips from the Web Player. All of the same options apply in the process, as far as sharing the clip, adding it to a playlist or uploading it to YouTube.

Another new functionality we've added to the transcript is the ability to make edits to the text. If you notice a typo or misspelling of a name, you can edit the closed captioning and save your changes.

Take Action on your Content

(Click image to enlarge.)

SnapStream's Web Player has gotten a bit of a makeover, sporting three tabs on the right. Doesn't she look pretty? The first tab, About, contains the program information, a link to download the show and more. The second tab, Actions, gives you a straight shot to do cool stuff with the content you are viewing at the moment. You can:

• ShowSqueeze
• SmartChapter
• Run a Workflow
• Add it to a Playlist

From Playlists, all of these actions are available as well, which is just so convenient for treating a playlist like a batch. Now for the third new tab on the Web Player, Tags:

Add Custom Media Tags

With TV search already based on the closed captioning data and program guide meta data, media tags add another layer of valuable data. Add custom tags to any media item (recording or clip) to help you locate it in your archive later. All tags become part of the search meta data, of course. And there’s also a new search filter TAG: that allows you to refine search results to tagged terms only, but tags will appear in all search results organically.

Hey Admins! Over here!

For the guys and gals that manage SnapStream, we have a couple of treats just for you:

Amazon S3 Export: Try our new integration with Amazon S3, a cloud-based storage service, to export your TV content with a more affordable alternative to network-attached storage.

Workflows Permissions: We have new Workflows Permissions which allows you to set permissions on what user groups are able to run specific Workflows... or not. You decide what to keep under lock and key.

New Resolution Filter: Specify that only recordings with a particular screen resolution then do Action X-Y-Z.

New Actions: Switch To takes a resulting transcode and then switches the output file as the one to be subsequently moved, exported, etc. within one Workflow rule, saving you a step. Generate Transcript allows you to automatically send a transcript from a recording (with filters of your choosing) upon completion to designated recipients.

PEG Channels in the United States

PEG Channels in the United States

In your city or town, you have likely flipped to a public, educational and governmental (PEG) channel that broadcasts community events, town hall meetings, public service announcements and other local original programming. Did you know there are over 5,000 PEG channels operating nationwide?

Every U.S. city has the right to collect a cable television franchise fee from the cable TV companies that serve its community. Thanks to the Cable Communications Act of 1984 (Section 622). These franchise fees, which are based on a percentage of cable operators' gross revenues, can generate huge sums of PEG funding for municipalities, for instance as much as $142 million for Dallas in 2007 and $140 million for New York in the fiscal year of 2010.

The catch-22? PEG funds are designated only for capital expenditures that finance day-to-day operations of public-access channels. But within those regulations, PEG funds can be used for various types of purchases. A good rule of thumb to go by is whether the capital being purchased has a substantial shelf life beyond the fiscal year.

Examples of Capital Expenditures:

• Video production/streaming equipment
• Computer/technology
• TV monitoring technology
• Vehicle for broadcasting or transport
• Renovation and construction of facilities
• Office furniture

PEG Fund Strategy at the City of Austin

 

Keith Reeves
Station Manager
Channel 6

The City of Austin is a shining example of maximizing PEG funding in order to leverage modern technology that helps deliver vital information to its citizens through multimedia platforms.

Keith Reeves is the Station Manager for Channel 6, the City of Austin's government access channel. The City has seven public-access channels in total. Programming on Channel 6 includes City Council meetings, public meetings, news conferences, educational programming about City departments and initiatives and more.

"We have a lot of citizen and media interest in what we do," Reeves said. "We have had a long time initiative for open and transparent government. That's one of the reasons we televise about 45 meetings per month, plus a lot of original programming to help educate the public on a variety of issues, event coverage and so forth."

Channel 6 also streams the channel live on its website, in addition to providing a well-categorized archive of video on-demand and corresponding transcripts—all available online for public access. The Channel also shares original programming, such as the CityView news magazine show, on its YouTube channel.

Smart Spending to Purchase SnapStream Again

Since 2007, the City of Austin has used SnapStream to monitor TV for public information purposes, spanning over 35 departments citywide. In 2013, the City was ready to upgrade to SnapStream HD and the newest hardware platform. This is where Channel 6 made a very smart move, by allocating their PEG funds to cover 100% of SnapStream's cost in full as a capital expenditure. Plus, they rolled in 2 years of technical support and service into the cap-ex to really maximize the PEG funds.

 

A few of the 35 City of Austin Departments using SnapStream

Just to be clear, you can't use PEG funds for subscription-based services because that is not a capital expense. That is an operational cost.

Station Manager of Channel 6, Keith Reeves, says that SnapStream provides very useful functionality at their PEG channel:

• Confidence of 24/7 backup recordings of our channel
• Content to post on-demand on our website
• Download transcripts from our council meetings and broadcasts
• Fact-checking and verification of decisions in city-related meetings
• The ability to make unlimited clips
• Cloud sharing to easily share clips
• Media monitoring of other broadcast channels

"We get about 150 news stories per month about the City of Austin's departments," Reeves said. "Media monitoring is a sufficient justification on its own. It's really a multi-use functionality."

Does My State have a Statewide Cable Franchise?

In 2005, the Texas Legislature was the first to approve a cable and video franchise law that allowed telecommunication companies to offer television service without the need to negotiate individual agreements in every city. A majority of these statewide video franchise agreements require franchise holders to provide public, education, and government (PEG) channels and offer certain residential subscriber protections. Here are the states currently offering a cable franchise, statewide:

Thanks to new advances in language intelligence in 6.1, SnapStream's TV search results are enriched for the better, bringing you a wider variety of useful findings and relevant information every time you search.

Our TV search engine has always delivered exact matches with bull's-eye accuracy and now, we have expanded the target zone to include closely related, broad matches that are equally as meaningful but not so glaringly obvious.

New Language Intelligence

We recently hired Dr. Michael Speriosu, a full-time developer at SnapStream with a master's and PhD in Linguistics, who is the driving force behind this new direction in TV search. Mike's expert knowledge of linguistics and computer science has elevated SnapStream's search to a new industry standard, leaps and bounds ahead of other tools on the market.

As a result, SnapStream extrapolates what's being said on TV, not only word for word but also in between the lines.

"We're taking into account a myriad of language factors like synonyms, pronouns, suffixes and misspellings to deliver the most comprehensive results," Speriosu said, "along with alternative search suggestions to point you in the right direction."

Ingest and Record ASI with SnapStream

New SnapStream ASI enables broadcasters to ingest and record up to 4 digital content streams in the ASI format, leveraging SnapStream's powerful TV monitoring technology. ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) is the standard format that runs through television production and broadcast facilities.

Watch From TV Playlists

Click image to expand.

Play multiple pieces of content in sequence with new TV playlists. The inspiration for this new feature came directly from our users. Many of you frequently share TV clips in meetings, lectures and presentations, and we love the collaboration that is happening around television content. So we created a simple way for you to select TV content from your library and add it into a designated playlist, for your streamlined viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Track What You Share in the Cloud

Cloud sharing has revolutionized the process of sending and receiving TV clips, and we are thrilled to release some new additions to managing this feature. In 6.1, you can "unshare" a clip at anytime and also access stats on how many times it has been viewed from the interface or by downloading a CSV report. The reporting option is a great starting point for your own internal media reports focused on tracking and cataloging TV clips.

Easier Management of Recording Priorities and Conflicts

Click image to expand.

SnapStream's Recording Manager is your mission control center when it comes to your TV recording schedule, priorities and conflicts. It's normal to have scheduling conflicts at one point or another, but in 6.1 we make it easier to resolve those conflicts when they occur, using your job priorities on the fly to decide what recordings matter most.

Excited to learn more about 6.1?

For organizations interested in SnapStream, join us on Wednesday, December 11, at 3 p.m. EST for the What's New in 6.1 Webinar to see all of these new features live and in action.

Next week, we're heading to the Big Apple to showcase our TV monitoring technology at Content and Communications World (CCW). Many broadcast folks refer to this hallmark event as the NAB of the East Coast. Since NAB in April, SnapStream's engineers have been diligently working to launch SnapStream 6.0 and tons of new capabilities.

Whether you're a current user or considering SnapStream for the first time, you'll find that everything in the new version helps to enrich your production workflow for recording, searching, clipping and repurposing TV content.

What's new to see at CCW?

AirPlay, search, clip and share TV from your iPad
Collaborate using SnapStream's iPad app during your production meetings. Use AirPlay to display TV recordings and clips from your library in H.264. You can also run searches, create clips and share them in the cloud. Enjoy all of these features on the go, with the mobility and convenience of the iPad.

View multiple channels simultaneously
SnapStream's new multi-viewer enables you to watch up to four content streams simultaneously for a multitude of workflow applications, such as comparing what's airing on your competitors' channels at the same time.

Watch TV and read the transcript, side by side
Monitor the broadcast video and televised transcript in a new interactive way, using Snapstream's new auto-scrolling transcript. Click on any keyword in the text to jump to it. Skip from one keyword mention to the next. Resize the windows to switch your focus from reading to watching, or keep it right at 50/50.

Monitor TV live and fullscreen
Enjoy the ability to track live, real-time events and freely flip between channels without recording anything to disk. Use the new fullscreen option to expand the video display for presentations or just to get a closer look.

Want to schedule a meeting?

CCW takes places at the Javits Convention Center in New York City, Nov. 13 and 14. SnapStream will be at booth 753 (see map below). We recommend setting an appointment with us in advance: schedule a meeting here. But, you are also welcome to swing by anytime during the show hours. See you there!

TV Monitoring in Canadian Government

We're looking forward to showcasing new SnapStream 6.0 next week at GTEC, Canada's largest government technology event. SnapStream will be at booth 1112 for the tech exhibition, which spans October 8 and 9 at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

Just like in the United States, various arms of the Canadian government rely on SnapStream, because it provides an easy and affordable way to monitor TV coverage for public information purposes. You can record and archive important TV coverage, search for TV mentions, create unlimited TV clips and ultimately, share those clips with others.

In the example below, we conducted a TV search for "RCMP," which is the known acronym for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. SnapStream takes you right to the point of mention in the broadcast, making it easy to quickly find, review and share media references. Plus, the new auto-scrolling transcript provides even deeper insight into what's being said on TV about your organization and its key officials.

Meet with SnapStream at GTEC

Are you going to GTEC next week? Come by our booth (#1112) for a demo of SnapStream's core TV monitoring capabilities, plus all of the new features in SnapStream 6.0. You'll get to try out our new iPad app, which lets you play, search, clip and share TV from your tablet on the go. And you'll have the opportunity to see our new multi-viewer, which enables you to watch and compare up to four TV programs side by side.

(Click to expand.)

Introducing SnapStream 6.0, a new generation of TV monitoring technology that's inspired by your versatile workflows and needs. This fresh release of SnapStream delivers an array of powerful new tools that will expand your capabilities when working and collaborating with TV.

Multi-viewer: Play 4 TV channels side by side

(Click to expand)

SnapStream 6.0 expands your TV playback possibilities into new directions. Select up to four TV programs from the library and play all of them side by side, with SnapStream's new multi-viewer. This new TV monitoring tool is ideal for competitive research and intelligence.

You can easily compare what's airing on your competitors' channels at the same time with the "sync all" option. You'll hear the audio for the primarily selected show, but you can switch between them at anytime. Plus, you can directly create clips from all four TV shows in play.

Watch live TV from the Web

(Click to expand)

Sometimes, there are TV broadcasts you want to monitor in real time, that don't need to be archived for later use. SnapStream 6.0 enables you to watch live TV from the Web interface, directly from the electronic program guide. Right click on any show and the viewing/recording options will pop up, with the new addition of "Watch Live TV." Of course, there has to be an available tuner in order to watch something live.

Enjoy a fullscreen experience

(Click to expand)

Keeping with the theme of catering to your preferences, SnapStream 6.0 delivers the option to play any TV recording or live feed with a total fullscreen experience. For instance, when using SnapStream in a meeting or a classroom, it's common to display TV content through a projector. The new fullscreen option provides a nice expanded view for presentations and lectures.

Run tasks from the search results

(Click to expand)

Also new in 6.0, you can run post-processing tasks directly from your TV search results, on multiple TV shows at a time. We refer to post-processing tasks as the types of actions that are executed after a recording completes, such as ShowSqueeze, which transcodes to H.264 or WMV, and SmartChapter, which segments the TV commercials within a broadcast. Having the ability to perform these types of workflows directly from search results allows you to handle TV content centered around the same topic, in the same way.

Cluster bigger and better

SnapStream customers who manage clusters of four or more machines will enjoy vast improvements in 6.0. As a result of implementing dual network adapters, SnapStream is able to double the potential bandwidth available for users and for processing tasks. In 6.0, it's also easier than ever to plug in a new node, such as a ShowSqueeze Node, with zero configuration, thanks to enhancements relating to scalability.

Monitor TV on the go, from your iPad

It's official: SnapStream's new iPad app has arrived and it's now available in the App Store! Go get your hands on it and start taking SnapStream with you on the go. The app brings the power of SnapStream's core TV monitoring capabilities to your fingertips, wherever you may be, from the convenience of your tablet.

Search and browse your TV library

Access your SnapStream TV library from your iPad and browse by series, by channel, by date and by clips. Looking for a specific mention? Use the search bar in the upper right-hand corner to quickly find keywords in the closed captioning and program metadata.

Play TV recordings and clips in H.264

The portability of a tablet makes it easy to bring TV where you need it, which isn't always at your desk. Leveraging the power of the SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node, transcode your TV content to H.264 to make it iPad-friendly. Next, you're ready to play TV recordings and clips from your iPad.

AirPlay SnapStream TV content

We made SnapStream's iPad app compatible with AirPlay, so you can collaborate on TV projects in your classroom, boardroom or office lounge using Apple TV. It's the best way to display and share your TV content for meetings and presentations.

Create unlimited TV clips

The clipping tool is extremely intuitive for the iPad. Swipe your finger down in a vertical motion to drop pins at your start and end points. Pinch the screen or press the scissors to create a clip. Type in a name and it will be saved to your "My Clips" folder.

Share TV clips, from iPad to the cloud

Use SnapStream's iPad app to collaborate in the moment. Share TV clips from your iPad to the cloud, to be viewed by anyone, from any device, from anywhere in the world.

How can I get the app?

For current customers: If you're on SnapStream 5.10, you can go download the app right now, for free. But we do recommend upgrading to the latest version, new SnapStream 6.0. Schedule your free upgrade* using the Enterprise Support Form or via email at support@snapstream.com.

For new users: Contact one of our Sales Engineers to discuss your TV monitoring needs today. Email: sales@snapstream.com. Phone: 1-877-762-7787

*All software upgrades are free for current SnapStream customers who have a valid support contract and meet the hardware pre-requisites.

What's new in 5.10?

People have different news consumption habits. Some like to read and some like to watch.

In SnapStream 5.10, the choice is yours. Monitor TV by watching, reading, or a combo of both, thanks to the newest component of the Web Player: the auto-scrolling transcript.

In the new release, we have re-imagined and re-designed the Web Player to provide a more interactive TV monitoring experience. We also improved TV Search to make running advanced searches simpler and easier.

Auto-Scrolling Transcript

Along the right side of the video, you'll see the new auto-scrolling transcript, presenting the closed-captioning in a useful new way.

The transcript synchronizes with playback and highlights the corresponding text in blue, making it easy on the eye to track topics and follow along.

Skip to a Word

Click on any word in the transcript, and SnapStream will skip to that point of mention. Think of it like a more intelligent alternative to fast-forwarding.

We're basically giving you the "source code" (the closed-captioning) to navigate TV broadcasts more effectively and efficiently. Let your eye wander and explore TV content from a new perspective.

Resizable Windows

Like we said, SnapStream 5.10 introduces the choice to watch and read TV simultaneously. But, we acknowledge that you may have a priority for one method of TV monitoring over the other.

The new Web Player sports dynamically resizable windows, allowing you to adjust the real estate of your screen to suit your own preferences.

If you're more concerned with the visual broadcast, just slide that front and center.

Want to focus more on the transcript? Drag to expand the width of the text.

Or maybe you're 50/50. Keep the video and transcript side-by-side with equal importance.

Simplified TV Search

There are a wide variety of advanced search parameters you can add to your TV Search queries, based on Boolean logic.

In 5.10, we added a friendly dropdown from the search bar, containing text fields which provide a more accessible way to filter and refine your searches. We hope you make use of these powerful TV search capabilities right at your fingertips.

What's also pretty cool, is that you can directly create a TV Alert to save this search and have it emailed to you when new results come up.

See 5.10 in Action

Join us for a live demonstration to see all of the new features in SnapStream 5.10. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, July 10 at 2 p.m. central and is open to everyone.

Upgrade to 5.10

All software upgrades are free for current SnapStream customers with a valid support contract who meet the hardware pre-requisites. Contact our support team to discuss your upgrade eligibility and to schedule your upgrade to 5.10 to start leveraging all of the new features outlined above.
