FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Mecklenburg Technology Group to market Volicon Observer
Charlotte, NC,
September 4, 2005 - Mecklenburg Technology Group announced today that it has
been accepted by Volicon, Inc as a sales agent for its Observer real-time
monitoring and recording system.
The Observer system allows broadcasters to efficiently log their own and their
competitors' broadcasts, move to an actual or relative time stamp based using
the station's clock, retrieve and analyze video clips based on as-run-log data,
and view content locally or remotely. The ability to store and retrieve metadata
provides users with significant advantages, including a powerful search feature
that can be used with the metadata. For example, Observer users can find and
select clips based on a search for words and phrases in closed captioning data.
Another use of the metadata is the ability to overlay ratings information in
real-time during playback of stored clips.
Applications for Volicon's Observer technology are broad and include logging
broadcasts to meet FCC compliance, competitive news analysis, ad compliance
verification, and overseas broadcast monitoring by government agencies.
The typical Observer configuration is housed in a 3U rack-mount chassis and
utilizes RAID controller hard drives for enhanced system reliability. A basic
four-channel system configuration allows 30 days archiving capacity for under
$22,000. The system can scale to record any number of channels and any recording
duration by simply adding additional system and storage units.
