Original Press Release:
Sustainable User-Generated Content (UGC) Business Model a Reality with Advestigo's AdvestiGATE Filter for Copyrighted Content
PARIS, Jan. 22 /-Â Advestigo (http://www.advestigo.com/), a major provider of content recognition technology, launches AdvestiGATE(TM) to automatically filter copyrighted files uploaded to user-generated content (UGC) websites.
Sustainable User-generated content (UGC) Business Model
Video sharing websites, which might handle upwards of 65,000 newly uploaded clips every day, are permanently at risk of litigation by unintentionally distributing copyrighted content online. AdvestiGATE automatically filters uploaded content, putting a stop to accidental copyright infringement. Until now, this has been impossible. UGC websites can now develop sustainable, profitable business models without the risk of litigation, and copyright owners can safely decide how and where they want their content to be used.
Award-winning* Digital Fingerprinting Technology
AdvestiGATE uses Advestigo's patented Theraography(TM) technology to calculate a fingerprint for each uploaded video file. AdvestiGATE then automatically cross-references new fingerprints against a database of existing fingerprints from copyrighted material; in a matter of seconds, files that contain full or partial, perfect or degraded copies of copyrighted content are identified and flagged.
AdvestiGATE can manage video and audio in one comprehensive solution. For audio files, it either relies on Advestigo's audio fingerprint technology or interoperates with existing audio recognition technologies.
"Our technology, which is already in industrial use around the world - embedded in our range of peer-to-peer monitoring solutions - is shaping the future of online video sharing," says Michel Roux, President and CEO of Advestigo.
Off-the-shelf solution
AdvestiGATE is delivered on a plug-and-play 1U rackable appliance for seamless integration into existing UGC infrastructure. Scalability is assured through multiple appliances within a single process. Prices start at 15,900 USD plus subscription to a fingerprint database.
