A new version of the Profuz Lapis system, delivering a roster of AI and localisation features, will be launched at IBC.
Profuz Lapis is a cloud-native, all-in-one digital media workflow asset management system that can be used for every part of a company’s workflow, from content ingest, transmission, scheduling, playout and storage, to advanced media searches and publishing. It provides businesses with a central dashboard to search, review, interact and process media and data held across a wide range of local, remote and cloud-based storage systems.
Boasting a host of new AI capabilities, the upgraded Lapis platform can now perform semantic search features, advanced speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities, face recognition, object detection, OCR of images and documents as well as further enhanced search engines for automatic transcription and translation such as integration with Amazon, Whisper, Assembly AI and others.
Other new features on show for the first time at IBC will include image annotations, geolocations data and maps support, secure login with a passkey, work shifts management with optional clock-in functionality, support of CG objects in the playlist creator and more.
The subtitling platform SubtitleNext is used for offline and real-time captioning, supporting all media formats.
