Harnessing the Power of AI in Our Industry

Description

SMPTE Ottawa - Tues 6 MAY 2025 - Harnessing the Power of AI in Our Industry

Join us in-person or online for an inside look at how NVIDIA, CBC and ROSS Video are leveraging AI.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we operate, innovate, and compete in our industry. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, we are able to analyze vast amounts of data, automate complex processes, and make more informed decisions. This transformation is not just about efficiency; it's about unlocking new opportunities and driving growth.

Thomas True, Senior Applied Engineer, Professional Media Workflows in the Enterprise Products Group, NVIDIA

Video Analytics AI Agents are an entirely new class of application that can unlock knowledge and insights from camera streams and video archives. Video search and summation (VSS), one example of such an agent, can be leveraged within media production to not only generate video summaries and metadata, but also for the analysis of ad placement opportunities and the detection of inappropriate content. This talk will describe the implementation of a VSS AI agent in a media production pipeline.

Marci Gower, Senior Advisor in Process Intelligence, CBC Transformation Dept.

An inside look at CBC/Radio-Canada's journey in leveraging AI-driven ASR technologies to transform content production and significantly improve accessibility. Sharing insights into the practical use of tools like Trint and Lexi, highlighting the internal development process of a highly anticipated auto-closed captioning process for cbc.ca, and exploring the strategic value of transcription data for future advancements.  

Troy English, CTO of Ross Video
