VRT-medialab

VRT-medialab is the technological research department of the VRT. At IBC2011, VRT-medialab schedules four demonstrations: VillaSquare, MediaCRM, CHAMP, and MediaLoep.

VillaSquare is our social network platform for media in Flanders that offers a second screen application which extends the media experience beyond linear media consumption. The corresponding back-end MediaCRM is a solution for better understanding our digital media consumers through analyzing their consumption patterns and by realizing a customer relationship.

CHAMP is a flexible production platform which enables programme makers to tell their multi-platform story in an efficient and easily accessible way and allow them to collaborate through fit-for-purpose cloud solution applications.

MediaLoep demonstrates how to improve search and retrieval of audiovisual material by (re)using the metadata created during the production process and by automatically enriching this data through the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data.
