IN2 provides beyond the current state of the art solutions and services to search, explore, experience, innovate, access and interface with multimedia content. Our mission is to support libraries, broadcasting archives, and multimedia content repositories to become full service information providers and turn their digital content into digital assets. Our focus is both on rich media content indexing and on content presentation. We support both search -beyond metadata and descriptions- as well browsing and visualisation of large digital collections in more accessible ways so that users are able to find faster and easier the content they are looking for. The systems combine audio/image processing and knowledge management techniques to support the annotation of non-structured multimedia content, and improve the accessibility of existing content. IN2’s technologies are licensed to third party media asset management solution providers and for their excellence they have been awarded the "Innovationspreis 2007 ITK" in Germany. Solutions and consulting services address the broadcasting industry, content owners, multimedia libraries, and multimedia information providers and aim in embedding accessibility into mainstream content provider repositories. IN2’s technologies have been proven in many commercial and research settings. IN2 is headquartered in the UK and also operates an independent branch office in Germany.
