stand-alone. Easy operation Reduce mosaic work time Not only can you do this, but you can also assign tasks to team members other than the main video editor, such as an assistant. Decentralization of work It is now possible to do what a video editor should normally do. Dedicated to creative work You can. At “Inter BEE 2024” to be held at Makuhari Messe from November 13th (Wednesday) to November 15th (Friday), 2024, at the NHK Technologies booth (video
production/broadcasting equipment section, booth number 8501). We will be exhibiting the latest version of this product. Product information of “AVCLabs Video Blur AI”
https://www.medianavi.co.jp/product/videoblur/videoblur.html Using the latest AI technology, faces and objects in videos are automatically recognized and mosaic processed! “AVCLabs Video Blur AI” is software specialized for mosaic and blurring processing. Automatically track moving people and vehicle license plates in videos and hide them with mosaic or blur. It also supports processing of multiple people, using AI technology to recognize the target and accurately hide faces in the video. You can also set to hide only a specific person or all but a specific person, and you can specify multiple people. Furthermore, it is equipped with the latest object recognition AI and can perform blur processing using object tracking. For example, it can recognize and automatically blur computer screens, projectors, driver’s licenses, documents with confidential information, billboards, etc. Unlike simple motion tracking (where the blur frame moves from one point on the timeline to another), this method performs processing while recognizing the object frame by frame, ensuring accurate and precise blur processing. It will come true. Significantly reduces video editing man-hours Shorten work time from “hours” to “minutes” and improve the working environment Conventional face blurring and background blurring (cutting out and blurring the background other than the person) must be done manually while checking each frame, and even a few minutes of footage can take several hours. If you use “AVCLabs Video Blur AI”, you can use AI to process all frames at once, significantly reducing work time. By “delegating” work, we can decentralize and improve efficiency, regardless of work environment or skills “AVCLabs Video Blur AI” is an application that runs standalone on Windows and Mac. It does not depend on the usage environment of the video editing software. In addition, it is extremely easy to operate and can be learned with just 10 minutes of practice, so even those with little experience in video editing can use it. For example, while the main video editing is being done, an assistant can handle blurring on another PC. This allows video editors to focus on more creative work, leading to more efficient and time-saving overall work. Supervised by NHK Technologies, optimized for the broadcasting industry Function development and sales channel expansion for the broadcasting industry “AVCLabs Video Blur AI” has been supervised by NHK Technologies Co., Ltd. since 2024, and has achieved precise functional enhancements that meet the needs of the broadcasting industry. We will continue to make further improvements with an eye toward use in the broadcasting industry through updates that leverage our specialized knowledge and experience. Since its release in July 2023, this product has gained a reputation for being able to use advanced AI technology, despite its reasonable price as a one-time purchase. It has been widely used mainly by general companies. Through this initiative, it will evolve into a tool that can be used in professional editing sites while maintaining easy and simple operability. In addition to the traditional individual video editors and general companies, the sales target will be expanded to include professional video production companies such as broadcasting stations and CATV stations. Exhibited at Inter BEE 2024 NHK Technologies booth (booth number: 8501) In addition, the latest version of this product will be exhibited at the NHK Technologies Co., Ltd. booth at Inter BEE 2024, which will be held at Makuhari Messe for three days from November 13, 2024, and you will be able to experience the demo.

Select faces and blur them all Automatically detects faces in videos and identifies and tracks the same person in all frames. It can be precisely anonymized. You can use the human eye to judge and select the person who should be mosaiced from the preview screen or list of faces. You can select “specified face” or “other than specified face”. Automatic blurring of arbitrary objects: Follow the specified object

You can select objects with just a mouse click. It can be used to blur people, logos, signboards, documents, displays, etc. Instead of simply specifying a frame and blurring, the object is tracked and blurred in all frames. Therefore, even if the hand is covered with the image as in the example above, the hand will not be blurred, and processing can be performed so that the movement can be seen. Automatic background blur: AI determines the person in the foreground and avoids identifying the facility

You can hide unnecessary elements and display only the necessary elements. For example, you can hide scenery or the inside of a room that will help you identify a location. It is also possible to delete people. Auto-blur license plate: AI detects license plate
