Tedial goes to Bulgaria.
In audiovisual communications it´s completely necessary to have reports about all that is broadcasted by TV or radio, programmes or advertising. All that recorded information is kept as a legal guarantee and it is called “Legal Copy”.
A TV channel can ask for this system to be applied to itself but the audiovisual councils also can ask for the legal copy system to control what is broadcasted and to generate reports. The latest example we have about it is the Council for Electronic Media, CEM, from Sofia, Bulgaria. The CEM has chosen Tedial to apply its legal copy system.
The CEM creates reports about mistakes that many TV channels and radio stations make, like to not broadcast a previously agreed spot or to not respect child hours. The CEM, as any other audiovisual council, is the one in charge to solve these cases judicially.
Tedial applies its technology of automatic content edition based on video and audio fingerprinting, so it has been possible to record 65 TV channels and radio stations, not only in Sofía, but in 6 different cities. The system allows to record 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The Spanish company has developed specially for CEM, a software that manages sanctioner proceedings. In this way, it´s easier to detect an infraction case and, therefore, a judicial solution.
Apart from the central recording point, at Sofia, Tedial has installed the same legal copy system in other 6 regional points of Bulgaria. One server per city and 6 capture stations (images recording) for television and radio.
The CEM is not the only place where Tedial has installed this system. It also has been developed for CAC (Consejo Audiovisual de Catalunya), which is an important European model of high quality sanctioner proceeding management.
Other examples of successful installations of TD legal copy system are: Romania Audiovisual Conceil, Mexico Audiovisual Conceil and Televisa Masters (Mexico) where, apart from the continuous TV channels recording, the information about audience ratings is included; so the TV channel has available a very valuable information tool for the better TV negotiations.
