Balakam使搜索现场视频和音频容易

[Note: This sponsored interview was recorded at 流媒体 West 2012.] 

Creating live online events is a hot topic for broadcasters and other companies right now, 但人们如何发现这些事件? 我们需要的是 a simple search engine that focuses on live streams. 我们需要的是 Balakam.

During a red carpet interview at the recent 流媒体 West show in Los Angeles, Balakam's CMO Daria Golyanina explained what makes her company's search tools unique and useful.

"Balakam actually uses almost the same search algorithm as traditional search engines do,戈利亚尼娜说. “但它有一个非常重要的好处, a very important so to say thing that differentiates it from any other solution on the market: 它可以很容易地从录制的媒体中分类直播媒体. 这是非常关键的, 例如, you're in the middle of your favorite baseball team game and you want to find it here and now and so the time becomes critical and you do not want to browse through a lot of irrelevant 信息 on the Web so looking for live stream but bumping into a lot of text, 图形, 还有很多不相关的信息."

It sounds great when searching for local content, but can Balakam search for foreign streams, too? 它能给浏览器带来一个实时事件的世界吗? 是的，可以.

"Another important benefit is its boundless searching area—our search engine browses the whole web so the searching area is global,戈利亚尼娜补充说. "We can find stream from any part of the world, 从万维网的任何部分. So I think it's really unique for the streaming media world and that is why we can say that Balakam is a unique solution on the market."
