15-Minute Guide to Pulse Video Analytics
What You Will Learn
As organizations capture and share more video for meetings, organizational communications, and training, people
need easy ways to find videos based on content, and to search within videos to find relevant segments. This
guide, intended for organizations that share video online, describes the value of Cisco Pulse
®
Video Analytics. An
optional feature on the Cisco
®
MXE 3500 Media Experience Engine, Cisco Pulse Video Analytics:
●
Automatically creates a vocabulary of relevant keywords for your organization by analyzing existing
documents
●
Identifies every place in each video where these keywords are spoken and where each speaker speaks
●
Displays a list of speakers and keywords that appears beside each video: Viewers can go directly to
relevant segments by selecting a speaker, keyword, or keyword spoken by a particular speaker.
Increase the Value of Video by Making It Searchable
Viewing an entire 60-minute video to find a few seconds of relevant content is as inefficient as reading a 60-page
document to find one paragraph. Word-processing and spreadsheet applications provide an easy-to-use search
function; video-sharing applications need one, too.
Currently, however, people can search for video content based on only the title or manually entered keywords and
tags. If you are interested in quarterly earnings but the person tagging the video neglected to include this phrase,
you might never know the content exists. And if a 20-minute video appears in your search results, you have no
way of knowing whether the keyword was spoken at the beginning or at the end of the video.
Solution: Cisco Pulse Video Analytics
Cisco Pulse Video Analytics, an option on the Cisco MXE 3500 Media Transformation Engine, increases the value
of video content by making it searchable. The application uses speech-recognition technology to automatically tag
video content by speaker and your organization’s custom list of keywords. People can search for videos by
speaker or keyword, and then go directly to relevant portions by clicking the speaker name or keyword from a list
(Figure 1).
