Building on the major technological changes introduced in Viz One 8, this latest release, Viz One 8.1, introduces powerful AI-driven functionality that transforms how broadcasters and media producers manage, search, and interact with their content.
Using AI to address content challenges in Viz One 8.1 and beyond
Broadcasters and content owners today face mounting pressures to deliver high-quality content faster and more cost-effectively. Manual workflows, such as shot logging and archive research, are no longer sustainable in the face of growing content volumes, higher resolutions (4K/8K), and increasingly diverse video sources. Viz One 8.1 directly addresses these challenges by making it possible to automate metadata logging and enabling faster, more accurate content discovery thanks to integration with the DeepVA AI platform. As a result, you enjoy:
Leveraging advanced visual understanding, Viz One now identifies and logs key elements within each asset, including objects and faces. This makes it possible to group semantically similar sections into intuitive “scenes”, as well as powering a cutting-edge vector-based search engine. The result? Effortless discovery of “related content” for users, streamlining workflows and unlocking the full potential of your media library so you can make better, richer content for your audiences, faster than ever before.
AI-powered metadata logging: a game-changer for broadcasters and content creators
Manual shot logging has long been a cornerstone of media asset management, but it’s also a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Traditionally, cataloguers have had to work in real time with video content, painstakingly registering meaningful metadata. This approach, while effective, struggles to keep pace with modern challenges.

and discovery
By leveraging AI-based logging, broadcasters and content owners can now apply metadata consistently and at scale, automatically. Cataloguers can focus on training the AI for unknown entities and performing optional QA reviews, reducing the time spent on each asset by up to 10x. Not only is this process faster, but it’s also over 50% more accurate when logging longform content compared to manual methods (based on our tests).
What AI capabilities have we introduced in Viz One 8.1?
The advanced video data mini AI services currently available include:
Face recognition
Automatically identify and tag individuals in video content. Whether it’s a celebrity, a public figure, or a recurring character in a series, the system ensures consistent and accurate tagging across your entire archive. This feature is particularly valuable for broadcasters managing large volumes of content, as it simplifies the process of finding footage featuring specific individuals. Tap into the existing ever-growing database of existing people and train your own dataset for localized results.
Visual understanding
Going beyond simply recognizing a person or object, Viz One 8.1’s AI analyzes visual elements within each frame to extract meaningful context, such as the setting, mood, and key activities taking place. For example, it can identify whether a scene is set in a bustling city, a serene forest, or a high-energy sports arena. This level of detail enriches your metadata, making it easier to locate and repurpose content based on thematic or contextual needs.
Object recognition
Detect and log objects within video assets based on the existing catalog and your own private datasets. From everyday items to specialized equipment, Viz One 8.1’s object recognition capabilities can identify and log a wide range of objects within your video assets. This feature is particularly useful for newsrooms, sports broadcasters, and production teams who need to quickly locate footage featuring specific props, vehicles, or branded elements. By automating this process, the system not only saves time but also ensures a higher degree of accuracy and consistency.
New functionality in Viz One
These AI tools enrich your media library with detailed metadata, making it easier than ever to find and repurpose content, and they enable new functionality within Viz One itself, including:
