Another is the object storage which is user-friendly in handling non-structured data, such as image and video files.

Contribution to the media quality (QoS & QoE) enhancement

As mobile terminals such as smartphones and tablets are used by all generations and more televisions are connected to the internet nowadays, video streaming is available anytime and anywhere to everybody, as viewers and even as providers sometimes. Due to various factors such as strongly emerging video streaming service providers inside and outside Japan, increase of aging population and falling of child birth rate, and younger people watching less TV, broadcasting companies and cable TV companies are seeking to transform their business models from the original ones to the newer ones.

In accordance with such trends, the Connected Business Development Division provides automatic quality test software for digitized image contents as well as monitoring of the QoS (Quality of Service) of Live and VOD contents, platforms for the real-time QoE (Quality of Experience) analysis of the viewers on their terminals and BI (Business Intelligence) analysis of user journeys, such as viewers’ behaviors, and watermark technologies to protect highly-valuable contents. The Connected Business Development Division leverages its network with the world leading vendors which have cutting-edge technologies, such as AI, machine learning, big data analysis and so on and focuses on providing solution proposals to enhance quality and to decrease labor as well as cost related to quality control and to help creating added values to customers in the area of terrestrial, satellite and cable TV broadcasting, video streaming service, telecommunication service, post-production, manufacturing audio and video products and so on.
