Clippr operated in the innovative field of In-Video search. Bringing to life the search within videos, for spoken words, and displayed text, we created a search engine with pin-point accuracy, allowing the user the enter a search term, and jump directly to the place in the video where that term was mentioned. Among implemented uses : Search, Media Repurposing, Auto Categorisation, Alerts, and more. Designed, Architected, and Implemented the company's product, comprised of the following elements :- A System for mass analysis of video media - Pro-activly pulling media from the internet based on configurable sources, Analysing the media for Speech Recognition, OCR, object detection and more. The system was implemented on Linux (Centos) and Windows, using C,C++,PHP,MySQL and various scripting mechanisms- A System for Indexing the results of Analysis using High Performance Indexing mechanisms to allow rapid search on extremely large volumes of data. - A Front-End system for allowing users to search for media within the corpus, skip to relevant parts, save clips, share clips, and glue clips together creating new mediaClippr is on hold for now.

Worked on Improving, Stabilising, and Optimising the company's main product - A Multimedia Video /Audio Player with multi-layered video capabilities, and multi-screen video display (video-wall). Developing in C++ on Windows platform, in a heavily multi-threaded environment. Among others, added the following features : - capture of HD video using various hardware elements- multi layered display of HD video- incoming video streaming from various sources on Internet/Intranet- integration of Satellite video signals into the system allowing Lan streaming of numerous channels to multiple clients (Multicast)- integration of Cable video signals into the system- integration of flash video signals into the systemAlso created a 'Light' version of the product for use of low-cost, low-power, embedded machines. Totally re-engineered the product to allow modularity.Worked on the company's Media Distribution framework, optimising packetization and transmission for media files for multiple clients over the internet.

http://www.BeinSync.comacquired by Phoenix technologies (5/2008).Worked on the company's cool file sync product, integrating seamlessly with Windows operating system, and allowing users to create their own private network between their various machines, proactively syncing files from numerous places and folders in the filesystem to all the machines.- Worked on the Client Software, integrating with Desktop software (e.g. Mail) importing elements into the system for sync with other machines.- Worked on the Server system, creating various mechanisms for networking (e.g. Bandwidth Throttling, HTTP tunnelling )Development was done in C++ on Windows using ACE as the Network platform

Designed and implemented an RTP streaming server, aimed at supporting Multimedia Streaming over Cellular networks. The server was written in cross-platform C++, compiled on Windows, and Unix. The server supports On-Demand and Live Streaming, using MPEG4 file format, with 1-second delay over a real cellular network (tested on GPRS network in Austria). The server also supports RTSP handshake protocol, and RTCP statistics. The video streams were encoded with an improved MPEG-4 encoder , and saved in a proprietary format, or streamed directly using RTP packetization according to RFC standards .In terms of API’s, This project involved Network Socket programming and extensive use of Multi Threaded programming.

Lead Programmer, as well as establishing an array of Java and C/C++ programmers in the company.C++ Team Leader/Designer/Programmer - designed and implemented an open object oriented modular platform. This platform was designed in the structure of various objects to serve as building blocks for large-scale multimedia streaming applications over HTTP networks (Internet). Using this platform a no-server video Live/On-Demand streaming, compressing and publishing application was built , and C++/Java client Multimedia Players. The components were designed using concepts taken from Design Patterns. The platform was implemented in MS VC++, in a Multi Threaded design, extensively using Windows Multi-Threaded API. C/C++ programming – Designed and written a video/audio compression windows applications. This application was written single handedly. Tasks included designing all modules for this project and implementing them. The application handled AVI and WAV files, reading them trough windows multimedia API’s, retrieving the data, uncompressing (in case the source file was compressed) with installed windows ACM/VCM drivers, and recompressing them to a proprietary format. The files were then saved and published to a web server, for later playback with a web player.Java programming – written a web Java player, to playback multimedia content including audio, video, text and still images. The player embedded an H263-like video decoder that was optimized to allow real time playback given the limitations of Java at the time. This project was preceded by designing a transfer protocol that was implemented in a special compressed file format allowing optimal data transfer over dial up connections, and handling of various Internet behaviors (peaks, cut-offs, reconnections, resync). Also ported the decoder code form C to Java using an ad-hock developed macro system and hands on modifications. This streaming runtime player did not use any server side application.
