4C enables M6 Video Bank to track the use of its large online video asset catalogue

London – 24 May 2016 — Today, 4C, a data science and media technology company, announced that 4C Content Analytics has been chosen by Groupe M6, the major French media group and broadcaster, to monitor how assets from the brand new M6 Video Bank archive are being used around the world.

M6 Video Bank will use 4C Content Analytics to ensure that use of assets from the M6 Video Bank remains within contract. Additionally, critical data from 4C Content Analytics will deliver key insights about which M6 Video Bank assets are proving to be most popular to broadcasters.

“M6 Video Bank offers a selection of 10,000+ videos across a wide range of subjects, which means that we needed a service that would enable us to easily track where and how our content is being used,” explained Martine Carouge, Director of Documentation, M6 Video Bank. “4C Content Analytics has a track record of monitoring video assets that spans both popular content and niche subjects, which perfectly fits our service.”

4C Content Analytics leverages Teletrax, 4C’s proprietary global TV monitoring network which tracks over 2,100 channels in 76 countries. The solution empowers media owners to understand precisely when, where and how long their video assets are being used around the world on television in real-time.

Its patented technology also leverages the Teletrax infrastructure and intellectual property acquired through Civolution following its spin off from Royal Philips Electronics.

“We are delighted to provide archive content distribution control for Groupe M6, one of Europe’s leading broadcasters,” said Helene Chabran, VP Sales EMEA, 4C. “Through 4C Content Analytics, we are enabling Groupe M6 to monitor assets from its video archive and ensure it is providing the best content as it grows its offering.”
