Windows and Mac compatible

SnapStream now supports Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) and above. For PC users, we support Windows XP and above. Whether you have a Mac-only environment or a blend of the two, it's no problem.

Create TV clips

Make unlimited TV clips and e-mail them to anyone you please. Drag your start and end points to mark the boundaries of your clip, and that's all there is to it.

Find anything said on TV

SnapStream renders the closed captioning data below the video as you play back a TV search result, so you can instantly verify keywords and phrases as they appear on TV.

SmartChapter commercial detection

SmartChapters segment the Web Player's timeline into programs and commercials, making it easy to skip to the content most critical to your TV monitoring operation.

Keyword-precise playback

When you click play from a TV search result, the Web Player transports you directly to the point of mention. Fast forward, rewind and jump ahead are available too, for context.

Share a TV bookmark

Send a colleague a link of that funny or important TV moment you just found. As long as the recipient is networked to SnapStream, it's as easy as sharing a Web hyperlink.

Easy to install and use

The first time you play back any TV recording, the Web Player plug-in knows to install itself. It's that smart. Unless you face high IT restrictions, you won't need assistance.

What kind of TV do you plan to archive, SD or HD? It's important to consider, HD video takes up a lot more space than SD. If you'll primarily use the footage internally for media monitoring purposes, standard-definition TV will do the trick and allow you to archive content much longer. We recommend high-definition TV to organizations who plan to rebroadcast or repurpose TV content in any way.
