Streaming Media - October/November 2007 - (Page 39) Search and Indexing Platform ■ GOTUIT POWERVIDEO SUITE First runner-up: Blinkx Second runner-up: Coveo Enterprise Search Gotuit’s PowerVideo Suite has got a lot more going for it than just search and indexing, but it’s the Gotuit’s VideoDiscovery module that grabbed the attention this year. Videos in a library are marked with metadata—title, description, time in/time out, tags, and attributes—for each logical scene, and then scenes are categorized into playlists based upon that metadata. It’s great for viewers, but it’s also terrific for advertisers who want to target their message based on the most precise criteria possible. And even if 2007 didn’t turn out to be the “Year of Video Search,” as predicted by Streaming Media contributing editor Tim Siglin, video search was still one of the hottest topics in the industry. No one—sorry, Gotuit, not even you—has unearthed the holy grail of automated video recognition yet, but first runner-up Blinkx is named one of Business 2.0’s “companies that will change the world” and as enterprise search leader Coveo makes the “ECONTENT 100,” it’s clear that plenty of R&D money will be flowing to companies like these that are working hard to find it.
