Bulk Video Catalog Ingestion and Matching
Rovi offers a second method to match your video catalogs to Rovi IDs: Bulk Video Catalog Ingestion and Matching. The following table shows the features and benefits of both:
| Method | Match Process | Common Use Case | Single Use or Continuing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalog Matching | You write an app that steps through your catalog. You may or may not review the results. | Your app calls match/video for every video in your video catalog. | Run one time and can be run on new items. |
| Bulk Video Catalog Ingestion and Matching | You provide a catalog of video assets to Rovi, which ingests those assets and matches them against Rovi IDs using both automated and manual processes. Rovi analysts validate the accuracy of the matches. | You retrieve relevant Rovi video metadata and use Rovi Search and Recommendations to enhance your product on an ongoing basis by using a record that indicates how your catalog of video assets matches to Rovi IDs. | Rovi delivers Rovi IDs for your complete video catalog for ongoing use. |
