The company’s innovative broadcast monitoring product enables broadcasters to effectively monitor their video and meet compliance requirements, and Version 5.2 offers more user-friendly features than ever before.

“Our research and development team has been continuously looking to enhance the end-user experience by adding new features since the launch of MonitorIQ in 2009,” said Digital Nirvana’s CEO Hiren Hindocha. “We are eager to bring this latest version to the international stage at IBC.

Alongside its Monitor IQ media management platform, Digital Nirvana will showcase its services, including: metadata creation and caption generation and synchronization.

Metadata Generation

Also making an international debut is Digital Nirvana’s new Metadator – a software application that makes the editing process more efficient for broadcasters and content creators.

It simplifies the process of metadata and transcript generation by automating it with proven technology – improving the turnaround time while reducing costs and improving overall operational efficiency.

The application automates what’s been a manual process of combing through footage and creating scene summaries. The Metadator communicates with Avid Interplay using web service APIs to access content. Users can generate locators for the media assets outside of Avid Interplay, then export media to external sources for generating transcripts and metadata. The processed data is then returned in an Avid-compatible format and attached to specific assets, so content creators can easily locate metadata when editing footage down to a singular show.

Caption Generation

The company offers high-quality cloud-based Caption Generation for all pre-recorded and online video content through an automated process over the cloud with options to create multiple formats and integrate directly to the user’s video platform.

The service provides subtitling generation in all standard formats for broadcast and IP delivery of video content.

Caption Synchronization

Digital Nirvana’s cloud-based Caption Synchronization service automatically re-aligns live broadcast captions for online usage. Captions can be synchronized for an entire show, short clips, and montages.

“With our caption synchronization, live broadcast captions are repurposed automatically for online delivery,” explained Hindocha. “Our service provides near-live synchronization and the ability to generate the proper formatting for all potential channels.”

Tell us about the path you have followed as a company since its beginning till now.

Founded in 1996, Digital Nirvana started as a provider of services, such as media monitoring and analysis; business market intelligence and analytics; and learning management services (test scoring and corrections). The company’s first financial services product was introduced in 2001. Its media monitoring software for broadcast and media/entertainment companies was launched in 2009, and cloud-based closed captioning services were introduced in 2016.

Digital Nirvana has always introduced new products after extensive research with current and potential customers into what causes their specific and industry-wide challenges. This is an ongoing process that continues throughout the life cycle of the solution.

At IBC, you’ve focused on your novelties in the field of captioning. Do you consider this industry to boom?

Yes. The reason for that is because so much content has found a home on streaming services. If you look at Amazon, Netflix, youtube, Hulu, Vimeo and the like, they source content from around the world. To reach a global audience, you need caption services. Thanks to closed captioning, there are many good programs available regardless of the language you speak. For example, I like to watch Korean movies and an Israeli TV show. My wife watches Icelandic TV shows. Captioning opens avenues for content providers to reach a global audience.

It also creates a much larger audience through online viewing. In environments where users on laptops and mobile devices don’t want to or can’t turn on their volume, closed captioning allows them to watch a sound-free show and increases the providers’ audience.

Another factor driving the use of closed captioning is the creation of metadata. Closed captioning increases the searchability of an asset. For content owners, it increases the visibility of their video, and for users, they’re able to locate the content they want much easier. Some people use subtitles and closed captioning as a medium to learn a new language. In general, it contributes to a more user-friendly experience.
