Why many newsrooms cannot upload the archive
Years of bulletins, raw feeds and unaired footage carry sources, embargoed material, rights restrictions and legal exposure. Policy, contracts or sheer volume can rule out sending it to a third party's cloud. The result is an archive that is safe and unsearchable.
What on-premises has to mean
- The software runs on servers you control, not only the storage.
- Indexing reads the footage in place from your NAS or tape library, without copying it out.
- Search results, transcripts and clips are produced and kept inside your environment.
- Access is controlled by sign-in, with an audit log of who searched and exported what.
What to ask a vendor
- Does every step run on our premises, including speech transcription and visual search?
- Does indexing read the footage in place from our NAS or LTO library?
- Which Indian languages are covered, by name, and how is mixed Hindi-English speech handled?
- Is there single sign-on and an audit log?
- Will you test it on a sample of our own bulletins before we commit?
- Can search results become clips and compilations that stay linked to the source bulletin?
What a producer gets
Type a question or a phrase in plain language and get the clip, the speaker, the timestamp and the words spoken. Search also covers what appears on screen, such as straps and tickers, and faces and places. Each result opens at the exact moment, so it can be checked before it goes to air.
Where Deepgrip fits
Deepgrip can run on your own premises or on Deepgrip cloud. It indexes footage held on NAS, LTO tape archives and MAM systems, covers 23 Indian languages and English, and includes single sign-on and audit logs. We confirm the setup for your environment during the demo.
Book a demo with a sample of your archive. If it fits, we scope a paid 14-day proof of concept against success criteria agreed on day one.
