VidiReports: the light and powerful software for real-time audience analysis
VidiReports has been delivering key audience metrics since 2006: Opportunities to See, viewer count, attention times, dwell times and gender classification.
VidiReports outstanding features already included superior detection speed (125 milliseconds for a viewer detection) and extraordinary low CPU requirements. The new version, in addition to several key improvements “under the hood”, adds the following features:
- An age classifier with 4 age groups (child, young adult, adult, senior);
- A panoramic audience measurement mode to cover a large field of view by combining several cameras (deployable on request for specific projects);
- An improved embedded web server for easier installation and supervision;
- A new demo version with a richer set of on-screen metrics.
Vidicenter: the online versatile datamining application
VidiCenter 
makes it simple to collect the anonymous audience statistics produced by all VidiReports instances and to visualize the data into custom charts. With VidiCenter, marketing and operations managers can easily obtain quick overviews of global trends as well as bore deep into very specific data patterns and perform comparison between venues and time periods.
VidiCenter 3.0 now offers:
- A Flash-based graphic rendering module, with over 300 different chart types; this includes the possibility to create calendar average charts and to display multiple series per chart;
- The possibility to import media playlists and to cross playtimes with audience records in order to rank media audience volume (“how many people saw this particular clip?”); this possibility works for any CMS solution and for any network topology;
- A richer management console, to finely monitor all VidiReports instances and visually represent control and status messages.
