Videoma
Videoma for AV & Broadcast is ISID's media asset platform for production houses and press departments. It records TV, radio and streaming around the clock, tags footage with AI, and makes archives searchable by spoken word.
What is Videoma?
Videoma for AV & Broadcast is the audiovisual edition of Videoma, the media platform built by the Madrid software house ISID. The site describes it plainly as a video recording, archiving, management and video search system, aimed at production houses and press departments.
Two editions carry this use. Videoma Archive is an Enterprise Video Content Management system: a centralised library of video, photo, audio and document assets behind access control, which automatically enriches what is uploaded by transcribing speech, translating it, subtitling, summarising, describing images and running OCR over documents. Videoma Monitor is the broadcast-monitoring side, recording television, radio and streaming channels continuously so a press team can find out in seconds who said what, where and in what context. Visiting the Videoma name on its own leads to the Archive edition, and the AV & Broadcast page points its product button at Monitor, so the two sit either side of the same sector.
The argument ISID makes is that AI-based tagging plus a strong search engine removes most of the manual work: content can be found by keyword, cut and exported, or watched live to spot specific words and faces and raise alarms. Three benefits are put forward for this sector specifically: repurposing existing footage into newsreels and montages, granular AI documentation that a human can still complete by hand, and bulk capture from several locations at the same time. The underlying technologies named for AV work are speaker identification, speech-to-text, translation and closed-caption extraction.
Around that sit object, face and text recognition with alerts, big-data handling for mass storage, multi-user accounts, collaboration tools, automatic transcoding to a uniform format and a visual index of every video. ISID claims the platform is agnostic about which AI analyser does the work, so analysers from any vendor, including future ones, can be swapped in. It ships as cloud, on-premise or hybrid, exposes an API for portals and third-party systems, and integrates with single sign-on and LDAP directories. There is no self-service tier: the platform is sold as a tailored, turnkey project.
What it does
- Record TV, radio and streaming channels 24/7, on demand or on a schedule, and ingest files in bulk from several sites at once
- Transcribe speech to searchable text and translate those transcriptions into other languages
- Search every recording for a name, word or phrase and jump straight to the exact moment it was said
- Tag content automatically with AI, then refine it by hand with unlimited custom keywords
- Raise SMS or e-mail alerts the moment a watched term, object or face is detected on air
- Cut and export clips for montages, summaries and newsreels, and capture key frames as stills
- Generate filtered reports showing how often, where and when a subject appeared across monitored channels
When to use Videoma / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Videoma is the right fit.
When to use Videoma
- Production houses and post-production teams sitting on large, poorly indexed footage libraries
- Press offices and communications departments that must know within seconds what was said on air
- Television and radio broadcasters recording multiple channels continuously and needing to retrieve clips later
- Archive and documentation staff responsible for cataloguing, preserving and re-serving audiovisual assets
- Newsrooms and editorial teams repurposing existing footage into newsreels, montages and social cuts
When not to use Videoma
- Anyone wanting to sign up alone and start today: there is no self-service, only a form or a booked call
- Buyers who need a published price before opening a conversation, since everything is quoted per project
- Teams looking for a mobile app, as none is offered on either the App Store or Google Play
- Organisations expecting a monitoring service, which ISID explicitly declines to provide, selling only software
- Developers wanting to assess an integration on their own, because no public API documentation exists
How to use Videoma
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Start from the AV & Broadcast sector page, which frames the offer for production houses and press departments
- Read across to the two editions it points to, Videoma Archive for the media library and Videoma Monitor for broadcast monitoring
- Download either free eBook, on media monitoring or on digital asset management, to gauge the approach before talking to anyone
- Submit the "Ask for Information" form on a product page, or the "Start using Videoma Monitor" form on the sector page
- Alternatively book a slot directly through the "Book your demo" button, which opens ISID's online calendar
- Use the contact page to state your country so ISID routes you to the right representative, and pick a reason such as Sales or Support
- Go through the commercial department for an end-user project, or the business department if you intend to resell or integrate
- Agree a deployment mode with ISID: cloud, on-premise where footage must stay in-house, or hybrid
- Have the integration scoped: API access, single sign-on or LDAP, XML export, and the TV, radio or streaming feeds to be captured
- Once live, ingest files or connect streams, let the AI tag and index them, then search, cut and export from the unified interface
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Covers the whole chain in one platform: capture, AI analysis, documentation, search, extraction and export
- Deployment as cloud, on-premise or hybrid, so rushes can stay in-house when security demands it
- Claimed to be agnostic about AI analysers, meaning engines from any vendor, including future ones, can be substituted
- A single archiving and analytics engine shared across the whole product range, developed and upgraded over a long period
- API plus single sign-on and LDAP integration, designed to slot into an existing information system
- European publisher based in Spain, with a privacy policy explicitly anchored in the GDPR and the LOPDGDD
- Published references in Spanish broadcasting, and a formal partner and reseller programme behind the product
Cons
- No published pricing at all: there is no pricing page, no figure and no rate card anywhere on the site
- No free trial and no free plan announced; the only way in is a form or a booked call
- The API is sold as a selling point yet has no public documentation, so integration effort cannot be judged in advance
- No terms and conditions page exists, even though the privacy policy refers to "Terms of Use"
- No Data Processing Agreement and no sub-processor list are published; providers are described only by category
- No hosting country or region is named, and the site is silent on whether customer content trains AI models
- The site contradicts itself on the publisher's age and on its own contact details, listing two different phone numbers and three versions of the address
Pricing & Plans
ISID publishes no price for Videoma for AV & Broadcast. There is no pricing page on the site, and its sitemap confirms that none exists; no amount, currency or billing unit is quoted anywhere. No free plan and no free trial are announced, and the only items offered at no charge are two marketing eBooks. The platform is sold on quotation: prospects are directed to contact the sales team, who respond with a proposal. Videoma Cloud is described as billed on consumption, paying only for what is used at any given moment, but no rate accompanies that statement.
Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Videoma handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR implementation is explicit and concrete. The privacy policy names Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD), and lists the full set of rights: access, rectification, restriction, erasure, objection, portability, freedom from automated decision-making and withdrawal of consent. Rights are exercised by post to the Madrid office or through the dedicated privacy mailbox, and the Spanish supervisory authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, is named with its address. Transfers outside the EU are acknowledged and said to rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Two gaps remain: ISID states it has no Data Protection Officer, and it publishes neither a Data Processing Agreement nor a list of sub-processors, which are only described by category. The footer carries a Spanish ENS security certification badge, which certifies the publisher rather than the product.
Who owns the data?
The data controller is Ingeniería y Sistemas de Información y Documentación ISID SL, tax number B81369993, registered in Madrid. Its privacy policy covers only the personal data of website visitors and service users; it says nothing about ownership of the audiovisual content customers put into the platform. ISID states that it has not appointed a Data Protection Officer, explaining that the legal thresholds do not apply to it, and routes every data protection request to a dedicated privacy mailbox. On the product side, Videoma Archive is presented as a permanent repository preserving original files and their metadata under access control, but no contractual ownership clause is published anywhere on the site.
Reuse rights
No terms and conditions page exists on the site, so no reuse licence can be read: the footer offers only the legal notice, the privacy policy and the cookie policy, even though the privacy policy itself refers to "Terms of Use". What the privacy policy does describe is ISID's own use of personal data, under the GDPR and the Spanish LOPDGDD. Data may be shared with public authorities and courts, and with service providers handling technology infrastructure, storage, commercial mailings or user support; ISID says these providers act under agreements limiting them to the service and never use the data for their own purposes. Some recipients may sit outside the European Union, covered by measures such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Nothing on the site grants or restricts a customer's right to reuse their own footage, and nothing states whether content feeds AI model training.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
The site names no hosting country and no hosting region. The privacy policy acknowledges that some recipients or service providers may be located in third countries outside the European Union, and says ISID adopts the necessary safeguards in such cases, for example Standard Contractual Clauses, but it never identifies where data actually sits. On the product side the choice is architectural rather than geographic: Videoma runs in the cloud, on-premise or as a hybrid, with the on-premise option presented for applications where security of data access is critical. Videoma Cloud is described only as being in a secure cloud, with no region and no infrastructure provider named. One external observation, which is not a statement by ISID: the domain isid.com resolves to an Amazon Web Services address in Boardman, in the United States. That describes where the marketing website is served, and says nothing about where customer footage would be stored. Anyone with a jurisdictional requirement should have the hosting location written into the contract.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Videoma.
- No published price means the budget only emerges after a sales conversation, with no independent benchmark to test it against
- The API is sold as a feature but undocumented, so integration cost and feasibility cannot be assessed before committing
- No terms and conditions page exists although the privacy policy refers to "Terms of Use", so the contract cannot be examined before negotiation
- No Data Processing Agreement or sub-processor list is published while the policy admits providers may sit outside the EU under Standard Contractual Clauses
- No hosting country or region is named, and the site never states whether customer footage is used to train AI models: both should be settled in writing
- Automatic AI tagging invites over-trust; the analysers are third-party, interchangeable and never named, so accuracy depends on a component the buyer cannot see, and human review of transcripts, speaker identification and face matches remains necessary
- Continuous recording of broadcasts and biometric speaker and face identification carry their own legal and ethical weight, and the security certification shown in the footer belongs to the publisher, not to the product
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
High, and never self-service. Deployment always goes through ISID or an integrator, and the publisher markets tailored, turnkey projects backed by a partner network. Decisions include the deployment mode, cloud, on-premise or hybrid, and the integration surface: API, single sign-on or LDAP, XML export and connections to cloud storage. Multi-site ingestion and big-data handling for mass storage make sizing a real exercise, and Videoma Monitor additionally requires the TV, radio and streaming feeds to be wired in. No public technical documentation exists, so hardware prerequisites and API details must be obtained from the publisher.

Should you pick Videoma?
Videoma for AV & Broadcast is a mature audiovisual asset platform from a Spanish publisher that has specialised in audio and video for a long time. For a production house or a press department, the appeal is coverage: capture from several sites and around the clock, AI documentation, search across everything that was said, then extraction and export, all inside one system rather than stitched together from separate tools. Three deployment modes, including a genuine on-premise option, answer the common objection that rushes cannot leave the building, and the claim that any AI analyser can be swapped in is a sensible hedge against a fast moving field.
The reservations are real and they are mostly about what the site does not say. No price is published and no trial exists, so the budget can only be discovered through a sales conversation. An API is presented as a selling point but has no documentation, which makes the integration effort impossible to size beforehand. There is no terms and conditions page, no Data Processing Agreement and no sub-processor list, no named hosting country, and complete silence on whether customer content is used to train AI models. For a media library, where the location and handling of footage is exactly what has to be pinned down, those are the questions to put in writing early. The site also contradicts itself on the publisher's own history and contact details, which is a small thing but a reminder to confirm rather than assume.
It suits organisations with a real archive problem, a broadcast or press workflow to serve, and the patience for a quoted, tailored project. It does not suit anyone hoping to sign up this afternoon.
