introductory video (bumper) before the source file with fades to transition in and out. You can use any graphic file

with a transparent alpha channel as a watermark and apply it anywhere in the video or live IP stream, with fully

customizable transparency and duration. You can append a video trailer to the end of the source file with a fade in

and fade out. In addition, support for graphic overlay options allows layering of a fully animated graphic on top of

the source video, commonly referred to as a lower-third. This capability is widely seen in production TV to add

important information to a video, such as the speaker's name and the subject. This option supports sophisticated

multimedia effects such as time-line–based fades and smooth animation. You can use graphic overlays to add

dynamic multilayered titles, branded graphics, subtitles, captions, and animations directly on top of video.

Pulse Video Analytics

Cisco Pulse Video Analytics delivers a powerful new way to find and view video quickly and easily, allowing you to

get the most out of the videos you need to search for specific content or speakers.

●

Automatic tag and index capabilities so you can search videos by spoken phrase or word, making video

content easy to find and navigate

●

Automated vocabulary creation for spoken-word tagging based on a customized list of relevant terms

●

Automatic speaker identification so you can quickly locate and view relevant content by who is speaking

Cisco Pulse Video Analytics integrates with the Cisco Show and Share application, a webcasting and video-

sharing application that helps organizations create secure video communities to share ideas and expertise;

optimize global video collaboration; and personalize the connections among customers, employees, and students

with

user-generated video content.

User Interface

The Cisco MXE 3500 supports two types of GUIs: basic and advanced. The basic interface, also called the Video

Conversion User Interface, provides quick and easy access to the most common adaptation and post-processing

features. For example, it allows you to upload any multimedia file; add a bumper, trailer, watermark, and user-

customized graphic overlay; and select targeted playback device(s) and destinations. The Cisco MXE 3500 adapts

and post-processes the file and provides links for downloads and streams, as well as a one-click button that

automatically posts the video into your Cisco Show and Share account.

For larger-scale implementations, an administrator can use a more advanced GUI to apply the adaptation and

postproduction capabilities of the Cisco MXE 3500 to source multimedia files by graphically assigning jobs and

predefined profiles to workflows. The resulting workflows can be triggered by using many mechanisms, including

the Cisco MXE 3500 application-programming interface (API), or by simply placing multimedia files in

preconfigured Watch Folders that are automatically monitored by the Cisco MXE 3500 software.
