Cisco Embraces Video
March 7, 2011
Now anyone can be a video producer according to “Cisco Makes Video Easier to Create, Consume, Search and Share across the Enterprise”. In an effort to improve transmission of information in and among businesses, Cisco Systems is rolling out a new line of products and services, including the TelePresence system and new endpoints. What is most interesting for us at Beyond Search is the claim these new offerings will allow one to:
Enjoy exceptional search capabilities within videos themselves. Instead of wasting time scrolling through hours of video to find the right clip, with a few clicks of a mouse, users can now simply advance to the right spot — whether to a spoken word, phrase or desired speaker.
This will be a useful tool, alleviating long hours and headaches for many. We can be sure this is true because of the positive results after the Voxalead release a few years back, Exalead’s speech-to-text transcription module with the ability to search inside multimedia content in the same manner as Cisco’s new system.
So, in summation… a good feature? Yes. First of its kind? No. Will video reverse Cisco’s softening of its growth plans? Maybe.
