PRESS RELEASE
Digistor, a local digital solutions supplier to the digital media market, has announced the company’s appointment as a SnapStream reseller to sell
and support SnapStream’s range of TV monitoring and search products.
SnapStream enables monitoring of local and national TV coverage. Multiple TV channels can be recorded at once and the content can be searched by keyword to find anything said on TV. Unlimited TV clips can be created and shared in the cloud or distributed for post-production and broadcast.
“We’re delighted to have been appointed as SnapStream’s dealer” stated Digistor Managing Director, Andrew Mooney. “We were amazed at the
ease of searching and repurposing of television content that their products provided when we saw them at NAB earlier this year. There’s significant
opportunity in the local market.”
SnapStream Sales Manager, Gayan Gunawardana, sees Digistor as an ideal partner to sell and support their product range in Australia given the product’s features and Digistor’s market focus.
“We’re excited to be working with Digistor and believe that SnapStream’s ability to monitor, search and distribute television content will fit in neatly with Digistor’s customers’ requirements, the company’s technical skill set and their solutions experience,” Gunawardana said.
SnapStream provides recording, searching, archiving and clipping of unlimited TV content, using a Mac or PC web interface. Customers can start with the SnapStream DVB-T or scale up with a SnapStream Cluster to blanket TV with 24/7 recordings.

plough through thousands of hours of HD-TV. A few clicks later, the segment is
ready.

In local, state and federal government, SnapStream is an invaluable tool for
media monitoring. The powerful DVR-search engine lets operators record and
search thousands of hours of news clips as required. Eliminate the expense of
clipping fees. Plus, with built-in TV alerts, communications officials can share the
news and take instant action.

record and stream educational content over the local-area network, lessons

technology is also uniquely useful for content analysis of broadcast journalism.

“Digistor will configure a specific solution to match a
customer’s requirements,” explained Mooney. “This will include the right SnapStream components, storage, archive, transcoding, editing facilities and network infrastructure depending on the application.”
