Profuz Digital, with over 30 years of experience in the broadcast media industry, continues to drive innovation through its subtitling platform SubtitleNEXT and digital asset management system Profuz LAPIS. Combining expertise and talent, the team delivers solutions that empower organisations to operate at their best.
Broadcasters are reaping long-term benefits by investing in Profuz LAPIS. Its open and flexible design integrates seamlessly within existing infrastructures of broadcasters and TV channels. LAPIS is engineered to adapt and evolve, supporting entire workflows by centralising and streamlining operations. The platform is user-friendly, requiring minimal training – most teams can become proficient within a day.
In 2024, Profuz Digital reaffirmed its commitment to content security by completing the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) self-assessment process, reflecting the company’s adherence to high industry standards.
Significant Projects and Partnerships
This year, Profuz Digital supported existing customers while welcoming new, notable clients. Long-term users include the Council of Europe, CANAL+, Euro Media Group Belgium, IT Pros Italy, and the Universities of Ghent and KU Leuven in Belgium. These relationships are built on proven technology, dedicated support, and partnerships with leading industry players.
One highlight of 2024 was a collaboration with the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR). Profuz Digital upgraded the organisation’s entire infrastructure by implementing a customised scheduling module based on Profuz LAPIS. This system now supports all of BNR’s national and regional centres, as well as Radio Bulgaria.
Another key project involved enhancing scheduling capabilities for a global broadcaster. The Profuz LAPIS playlist scheduler enables the creation and management of multi-channel playlists, including advertising schedules and promotional content across different time zones. Its “time zone awareness” mode automates trailer graphics, logos, and programme details, ensuring seamless communication with global audiences.
Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
Profuz Digital upholds ethical business values, promoting sustainability, equality, and employee well-being. In 2024, the company sponsored the Bulgarian Fund for Women’s 20th Anniversary event, providing SubtitleNEXT for free live subtitling support. The Sofia International Literary Festival also benefitted from SubtitleNEXT, ensuring inclusivity for attendees with hearing impairments.
Presence at Key Industry Events
Profuz Digital showcased its latest advancements at renowned industry forums such as NAB Show in Las Vegas and IBC in Amsterdam. At IBC2024, the latest AI-enabled features of Profuz LAPIS were met with widespread acclaim. Chief Technology Officer Kamen Ferdinandov demonstrated how the platform bridges workflow gaps, emphasising innovation tailored to client needs.
Looking Ahead to 2025
In 2025, Profuz Digital will continue to integrate advanced AI features into its systems, including semantic search, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech capabilities. Profuz LAPIS is uniquely designed to connect with multiple AI engines, enabling features like automatic metadata extraction, face and object recognition, and translation services across all languages.
SubtitleNEXT also introduces new features, including integrated audio description capabilities. Broadcasters and production companies, including EMG, have used SubtitleNEXT for localising hit TV series like Big Little Lies and Euphoria.
As broadcasters face new challenges, Profuz Digital remains committed to providing cutting-edge solutions. The company looks forward to collaborating with its talented team to support freelancers and businesses of all sizes in navigating the dynamic media landscape with the latest versions of Profuz LAPIS and SubtitleNEXT.
