Around Klewel

Martigny, Switzerland, September 1, 2011

The company Klewel announces today the launch of Triskel©. Klewel will be showcasing its new product Triskel© at the international exhibition of audiovisual IBC 2011 in Amsterdam on September 9-13, 2011, Hall 4, Stand 4.C85. Firstly intended for audiovisual professionals and event service agencies, Triskel© is a comprehensive webcasting platform to record and publish presentations given at events such as international conferences.

What is Triskel©?

Triskel© consists of an audio-visual recording station associated with a web portal. The Triskel© station can be used with a microphone (or the output of a mixing console) and a camera (or the output of the audiovisual control room). Recording of each event starts and stops at the simple press of a button. Once recording is complete, data is automatically uploaded to a server. The Klewel station is available as a portable computer or it may be delivered in a customised form to meet conference organizers’ needs.

Triskel’s web portal makes it possible to automatically reference, edit and publish content (audio, video, slide shows) in total simplicity. One click and it’s online! In addition, the content of each presented slide is also indexed for search purpose. Each event is accessible anytime, anywhere (at home, at the office or elsewhere) and can be viewed on all types of media: computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.

Added value and innovation

Triskel© is the indispensable production tool for an audiovisual agency wishing to be at the state-of-the-art of webcasting. It offers multiple benefits. Triskel© not only keeps your presentations alive but also ensures that they can be consulted quickly and clearly, and easily retrieved (search engine), personalised at will, directly integrated in any website, viewed on all types of media (computer, tablet, mobile phone) and accessible online (general public) or via Intranet (protected).

No need to ask each speaker for their original PowerPoints, hassle free for conference organizers. Triskel© allows to visualize any projection whatever the original format (PowerPoint, PDF), including videos within the slides. One of the special features of Klewel is to offer an audio search engine, based on voice recognition software, which can find one or more keywords in speeches. In addition, it provides an integrated statistical tool which can measure the interest generated by the presentations and target future content in a relevant way.

History of Triskel©

Since 2007, the company offers its services for seminars of all sizes and international conferences. Also since the creation of this company, the engineers from the Klewel have been working on this product Triskel©, being responsive to the market. The services have helped the team to develop the product Triskel©. Klewel grew from the needs of its customers. Triskel©© has been tested with several customers including the EPFL in Lausanne to record and webcast courses and seminars.

Le 1er février 2011, Mme Geneviève Ruiz a publié une enquète et des témoignages dans le PME Magazine sur “Pourquoi les PME françaises choisissent la Suisse?“.

En tant que fondateur et directeur de Klewel, j’ai accepté de témoigner. Mme Geneviève Ruiz m’a contacté de la part de Romain Duriez de la Chambre de commerce France Suisse. À noter que Klewel n’est pas à la base une PME française puisqu’elle a été tout d’abord créée en Suisse directement avec le soutien de Cimark.

Une erreur est apparue dans cet article: ce n’est pas “Maël Guillemot a travaillé dans un centre de recherche de l’EPFL” mais “Maël Guillemot a travaillé dans l’institut de recherche Idiap basé à Martigny en Valais où il a pu mettre au point les technologies qui lui ont permis de lancer Klewel en 2007″. L’entreprise n’a pas vraiment déménagé puisque nous étions déjà basé à Martigny. Klewel a reçu le soutien de la fondation TheArk et est basé sur le site technologique Ideark.

Klewel has been cited in the following article of Science Daily (paragraph on Commercial success) about the AMI project:

ScienceDaily (Apr. 23, 2010) — Software created by European researchers is transforming business and education through the complete capture of the audio, video and textual record. It is the internet, for meetings.

The future of corporate meetings and college lectures will be interactive, multimedia, searchable and cross-linked. It will, finally, unlock the unrealised power of meetings to focus efforts, pool resources and stimulate imagination to discover creative answers to obdurate questions.

That future is just about here.

All thanks to AMI, the Augmented Multiparty Interaction consortium, a large, well-resourced consortium that has devoted two projects, dozens of partners and millions of euros to apply the latest technology to one of the oldest corporate exercises.

The first project was AMI, which developed a browser for all captured meeting information in audio, video and text, while the second project, AMIDA, enhanced the browser technologies and added distance access. Read more…

In this issue, we talk about the link between Klewel and sustainable development, the new collaboration with Jean de Araujo, ex-CEO of the Beaulieu Congress Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the latest events webcasted by Klewel. Wishing you a happy reading!

The Idiap Research Institute (acknowledgement to Alexandre Nanchen) has recently developed a technology to localize, detect and recognize text in videos based on Optical Character Recognition. A project has been conducted on Canal9 local Swiss video channel. An application helps to make a search online based on the discussed topic or speaker name. Klewel provides the associated service.
