Milan, Italy, October 13, 2020: Metaliquid, the EU leading video recognition and content intelligence company, announced today the development of a deep learning platform that automatically creates television highlights in real-time. Working with Minerva, a leading provider of management platforms for the delivery of next-generation television services, Metaliquid AI tools analyzed the 2020 Vice Presidential debate and fed metadata to Minerva’s Smart Highlights service, which was also announced today. Viewers then enjoyed custom highlight reels based on speaker, topics and desired playback time.
Smart Highlights technology gives a new level of control to television subscribers. The Metaliquid technology features a sophisticated set of AI, Deep Learning, and computer vision algorithms that analyze video streams and generate metadata with predefined timestamped descriptive tags.

Moreover, this unique solution opens up possibilities for Television service providers, media companies and broadcasters worldwide to:
· Increase fan engagement
· Index media contents to enhance workflow efficiencies
· Unlock hidden revenue streams via advertising or subscriptions
“A tailored, adaptive customer experience is critical to building long-term, profitable relationships with subscribers.
