This system will bring powerful search capability to the MRC media archive, which includes over 20 years of broadcast television and other media.

This effort will result in creating one of the largest and most sophisticated television monitoring operations in the nation. The SnapStream technology that we are integrating into this project is ideally suited for MRC and will keep them on the cutting edge of their mission.” Said Ron Novak, Segue Executive Vice President.
