REPLAY (software)
REPLAY is a management system for audiovisual content developed at ETH Zurich.
Background
REPLAY was developed as the future Multimedia Portal of ETH Zurich within the scope of the ICT strategy
2006-2009 and got branded „REPLAY“ in 2007. It is to manage the audiovisual content of ETH Zurich from
production to distribution in an automated manner.
Application area
The main focus of REPLAY is the quasi automated handling of large number of lecture recordings (>150 per week)
and to provide an integrated management solution for other video objects (films, digitization results etc.). Thus, it
covers all the audiovisual material usually to be found in academic and other institutions (museums, companies etc.).
Workflow
REPLAY covers the complete lifecycle of the audiovisual objects: In the classroom / lecture hall, the Linux-based
Playmobil as an additional hardware component automatically captures audio, video, and VGA (for
slides/presentations/computer display/other devices). After the lecture, these sources are bundled with metadata and
proceeded into the REPLAY backend. Other video material can be ingested through an inbox. All bundles are then -
archived, - indexed (based on slide content, using Optical Character Recognition), - encoded according to settings
and - distributed in various channels (RSS, streaming, download etc.) One of the distribution channels is Interplay, a
user interface designed for interactive consumption of video.
Much of the indexing and searching functionalites comes from Yovisto, a German metadata search engine for
academic content.
