Accedo uses Audio Magic for content recognition

Interactive TV specialist Accedo is to integrate automated content recognition technology from Audible Magic into its TV app solutions.

Accedo said the deal reflected the importance of enabling multiple devices to recognise aired content, even on live, never-before-shown programmes, in real time.

“We believe that one of the major hurdles to truly innovative TV application development is content recognition,” said Accedo CEO Michael Lantz. “For Accedo, it is key to be able to offer a trusted content recognition solution to media companies and TV platforms, and together with our customers we see endless innovation possibilities. With our partnership with Audible Magic, we believe we’ve found the company with the right mix of robust, reliable and patent-protected ACR technologies, comprehensive services, and globally available and professional support.”
