FAST Enterprise Search Platform (ESP) for Multimedia includes VideoMiner and AudioMiner connectors that extract key concepts and fact from both archived and streamed rich media content sources like video, image and voice files and match these to similar types of content stored in enterprise databases.
Oslo-based FAST refers to this capability as contextual insight enabling users to discover data from information sources that were previously off limits to search technologies.
FAST says the new multimedia search capabilities are aimed squarely at telecoms, broadband and publishing and media firms.
After a slow start, FAST says that rich media search is now its fastest growing revenue stream.
