All analysis happens in real time, passing information quickly back to the security / broadcast operations team.

The ability to time sync live video streams against the original broadcast to within 0.5 seconds, reducing the time that an ID needs to be displayed, therefore reducing the impact on consumer experience and maximising security.

Building on Linear’s ability to capture from thousands of streams simultaneously, Broadcast iD ensures that all available IDs from all known streams are reported in a timely fashion.

Sophisticated image enhancement algorithms clean frames to enhance the legibility of on-screen identifiers, which is increasingly important given the desire to minimise the visual impact of an on-screen identifier, for example by reducing font size or using translucent lettering.

A comprehensive set of APIs enable direct integration with ID triggering mechanisms if desired, enabling on-demand ID windows to enhance security, and CA / SMS communication for direct shut-down if required.
