With the Artec “Xentaurix Broadcast Logger System”, 111 TV and radio stations can be continually recorded at five locations in Kosovo and sent via the Internet to the IMC central offices in Pristina. There the contents are centrally stored and analysed by IMC editors. By the end of 2010, Artec Technologies will install and implement the system in cooperation with the regional distribution partner in Pristina.

Since 2001, Artec logger systems of this kind have been deployed around the world by broadcast and media monitoring companies for editing TV and radio broadcasts, transmission confirmation, clipping services and as personal network video recorders (PVR).

Within seconds, an integrated search engine makes it possible to locate transmission contents through metadata such as programme information, subtitles or bookmarks and provide playback with split-second accuracy. Further, clips can be edited immediately and converted to virtually any desired video and/or audio codex.

Particularly in a variety of market niches, the Xentauric Broadcast Logger Systems are providing increasing sales revenues. “More and more, our logger systems are developing into real top sellers – not least of all because we always provide professional service and support,” Thomas Hoffman explains. “Sure, there are about a dozen well-known competitors in the world market who offer somewhat similar products. Broadcast companies place top priority on values such as dependability, expandability and system modernidation as well as ease of operation, though, and Artec Technologies is absolutely competitive across the board – including price structures.”

Because of its strategic focus on special niche markets in both East Europe and the Middle East, artec technologies is enjoying strong growth in both contracts and revenues. Especially its product platforms Xentaurix and Multieye are drawing strong interest in these targeted markets. “During the second half of 2010, we expect a number of additional large contracts,” Thomas Hoffmann concludes.
