Verizon Digital Media Services announced its acquisition of Volicon, which provides video capture, archival, compliance monitoring and clip creation workflow.

“Volicon’s role as a trusted provider to more than 1,200 broadcast and video operators around the world, combined with deep expertise in video monitoring and analysis, will improve visibility, transparency, and quality of our clients content and ads over our global delivery footprint,” Verizon Digital Media Services President Bob Toohey, says.

Verizon Digital Media Services reports that both companies already have complementary video workflow tools to allow content creators and broadcasters to generate assets, clips, highlights and social sharing opportunities from existing live, linear and VOD workflows.

“Verizon Digital Media Services also has extensive capabilities to leverage and augment various existing broadcast automation signaling for automatic recognition of program boundaries, ad insertion, blackout and content replacement and entitlement rules,” the company says in a statment.
