Upgrade your TV media monitoring intelligence

Stay on top of local news and national TV coverage

The SnapStream Server makes communications officers' work a snap: It pairs DVR and TV search-engine technology so that you can record and search thousands of hours of TV—without ever leaving your desk. Forget expensive clipping services.

You can access everything from your PC, through your office’s existing local-area network. With simple configuration and minimal upkeep, SnapStream puts your finger directly on the pulse of news coverage.

A single SnapStream Server can simultaneously record up to 10 TV shows and store up to 17,000 hours of recordings. Its powerful technology gives you the ability to quickly and easily search the entire archive by keyword, clip any content of interest, download or burn that video to DVD, and then email it to colleagues.

Benefits of the SnapStream Server for government:

  • Media monitoring

    SnapStream’s powerful TV search technology empowers communications officers to record news and other broadcasts and then locate specific mentions at a moment’s notice.

  • Email alerts

    Monitoring TV with email alerts helps shorten the official response time to media coverage by notifying you when search terms (mayor's name, city hall, city council, etc…) appear in recordings of select broadcasts.

  • Clipping

    The news monitoring clipping tool makes hiring expensive clipping services completely unnecessary.

  • Portable file formats

    SnapStream’s server records natively in MPEG-2 and has options for converting video into Windows Media and H.264, making it easy to distribute files on the Web.

  • Powerful search technology

    SnapStream lets you search closed-captioning of the broadcasts you’re recording as breaking news happens, streamlining communications and allowing for better crisis management.

  • Digital archiving

    The SnapStream Server allows you to build an entirely digital library to store and access recordings, replacing cumbersome VHS and DVD libraries.

Customer quotes

“Swapping tapes and locating the stories was very time consuming for our small staff. We would have to pull the original recording fast forward to the mention, re-record onto another VHS tape and then send it off.”

– David Brown, Channel 13 Senior Producer for the City of Greensboro
