At IDenTV our mission is to create powerful video analysis capabilities and actionable insights from Video Big Data. Transparency for ad-buyers & advanced analytics to sellers bridging the gap between TV & digital/social video providing better measurement, decision support & eventually the goal of facilitating programmatic multi-platform video-marketplaces. For years IDenTV has been the only software based technology company that does not rely on intrusive or manual processes. Further, we are the only company to push the bounds of deploying and executing this type of advanced analysis in REAL-TIME while remaining highly efficient - both in cost and resources.
IDenTV’s IVP™ & “Video Juicer™”: Real-time automated content recognition & artificial intelligence powered video analytics platform, which accurately produces rich contextual metadata from large amounts of video.
Identifying: Faces, Objects, Brand/logos, Activities, Scenes, CC extraction, multi-lingual ASR, Geo Location, NLP/Semantics & more. Integrating with any type or video source (Live TV, VOD, Archive), with modules designed to be plug-and-play for better performance. Create numerous value propositions to the media & entertainment industry including:
- Ad verification parsed by location and user metadata in real-time
- Ad-Ops/Marketing Workflow Automations: Real-Time Video Verified Post-Log (“as run”) Generation
- Brand Safety
- Rights management & Copyright and piracy alerts
- Content Moderation: Determine content (both good and bad) upon initial upload based on predefined criteria. Pinpointing illicit content or activity, actions or threats geo-spatially (jihadi, bomb-making, torture, etc.)
- Advanced Ad targeting through connective analysis of context in posted images and videos (hyper-targeting based on content and behavior of user – “Contextual Hyper-Targeting”)
- Synchronized Cross-channel Marketing: Event triggers from streaming or live TV push targeted ads to re-targeted viewers on smart/mobile devices, increasing ROI to advertisers by connecting brands with high-intent high-value users.
For years IDenTV has been the only software-based technology company that does not rely on intrusive or manual processes for advanced real-time artificial intelligence powered automated content recognition. Producing unparalleled insights and valuable analytics from vast repositories of video. Via innovation IDenTV is augmenting and optimizing how video analysis is done and how analytics are produced and consumed.

device as it is streaming (Social or Traditional
Media, or the Device Camera)
To use image search, not audio (avoid difference
in languages issue)
To index new added videos at the same rate they
are produced (real time object and or facial
detection of reference data)
Scalable to millions of devices
Can be in-device or in-app ecosystems
To Enable Cross-Platform TV Measurement

12. Technological Capabilities and Performance
Performance metrics
Indexing is immediate and in real-time. Can be done while watching/viewing media
source
Search: 50 trillion image comparisons per hour (can run 40M per second on a single
core)
On a laptop with 3,000 hours of video, query time is below 30 milliseconds
A single server will take thousands of indexed hours of video and 15,000+ simultaneous
clients.
Can scale to process billions of hours of video and millions of clients. If DB driven: A
