Desktop Video/Audio Capturing and Processing Software

Facilitates data capture and recording process for video and audio broadcasting companies

The client is a major US consulting company. They needed a solution that would make content processing and delivery easier. The solution would allow broadcasting companies to copy and protect audio and video content.

Problem

Softeq was employed to optimize the copying of audio/video content and simplify its distribution. The solution had to improve the data capture and recording process.

For that, it had to interface with the client’s multichannel video/audio recorders. The final product also needed to safeguard licensed video by applying a watermark/timestamp. The customer wanted us to operate as a Dedicated Team.

Solution

The Softeq Dedicated Team employed QML, a JSON-like declarative language for designing user interface-centric applications, to develop a set of client-server desktop software with rich and intuitive UI and running on the Linux OS. The software corresponds to the functional capabilities of the respective products, which are equipped with one to four camcorder inputs.

The server side provides for the following features:

Capturing video from up to 4 camcorders, compressing it into H.264 format and recording the data to the local drive (Local Storage), as well as to several USB pen drives simultaneously. Optionally, burning a watermark and/or putting a timestamp on it. The audio streams can be captured either from the video or an external microphone.
Ability to clone the recorded videos to up to 9 USB pen drives simultaneously.
Ability to upload the recorded videos to preconfigured FTPs.
Creating a system of recording presets to speed up the process.

Challenge

The team had to tap its low-level programming experience to implement the multiple USB drive recording functionality working on the kernel tier.

Result

The final solution has been shipped to the customer right within the tight timeline and on budget. The client continues collaboration with Softeq utilizing the company’s mobile app development skills.
