About SocialSeine
SocialSeine is built on PCI's LOUISE® Business Management System for managing programs assets, and workflows including rights, program preparation, scheduling and content delivery to multiple linear and non-linear channels. SocialSeine works in tandem with PCI MediaBench® production tools, which are used for simple and fast repurposing of content on CatchUp TV, Video-On-Demand and mobile devices. SocialSeine integrates new technology from Mesagraph, which provides real-time engagement data on social sites along with analytics. This valuable information adds relevance and improves reactivity for the content providers.
Channel producers can use MediaBench to create video extracts from live or recorded programming, add graphics or images and publish to multiple platforms. With SocialSeine, they now can also dramatically improve their viewing duration times and selections by selecting the clips that prove to be the most engaging; results can be filtered in ways to reflect channels' preferred audiences, program types or other criteria.
For example, during a live program about politics or a music awards show, an e-producer is using MediaBench to create and post clips on the social networks. At the same time, Mesagraph is constantly monitoring the social media sites and providing analytics about the topics based on the criteria prescribed by the SocialSeine module in LOUISE. That feedback is immediately available online to the e-producer and allows him to build momentum for the hot-button political topics or most-liked performer based on your pre-set criteria. The producer can quickly hone in on the most relevant themes. Using index and search tools in MediaBench, he can find and post more clips about subjects generating the most interest; he can promote upcoming shows about that topic; he can build your brand image around topics of most relevance to your channel.
