The Need
In 2014, the County realized that the current system utilized by the Board to broadcast meetings on both the internet and local cable had become increasingly unstable. After extensive research, county staff recommended Swagit’s solutions for their streaming needs.
One of the Yolo County Board’s concerns was their extensive backlog of legacy content with their previous streaming vendor. Would Swagit be able to convert the Board’s seven previous years of meeting videos and content to the new on-demand streaming platform, and also maintain links to meeting agendas, minutes, attachments, timestamps and video indexing?
Swagit’s expert team of digital content migration specialists transferred almost 700 hours of meeting video along with meeting agendas, minutes, attachments and timestamps to the County’s new web viewer. These meeting videos and corresponding content can all be viewed on desktop computers as well as mobile devices, and do not require special browser plug-ins.
All the while, Swagit’s Managed Service Division (SMSD) maintained links to indexing of over 240 videos allowing viewers to continue to have the ability to search historical content for a specific item and step through by item headings and jump-to points giving users the greatest flexibility to find the specific content they need.
