For Immediate Release – 27 August 2026, Sofia, Bulgaria – European developer Profuz Digital makes a mark by launching a powerful upgrade to its Profuz LAPIS digital media management platform this IBC in Amsterdam at Stand 8.A88. The latest version of LAPIS features AI-assisted search across all types of data, including improved on-the-fly reporting, lifecycle-aware archiving, and enriched multi-source analysis that combines speech recognition, face detection and content fingerprinting. Together with new AI transcription integrations in Profuz Digital’s SubtitleNEXT platform, these advancements make a significant leap in localisation efficiency and broadcast workflow intelligence.

Profuz LAPIS strategizes entire workflows within an organisation by coordinating and distributing tasks across multiple AI processing engines into a unified workflow, where data is processed in layers enriched at each stage. LAPIS brings cumulative benefits combining data from multiple sources including speech recognition paired with face detection in order to create richer and more accurate insights.

For IBC, LAPIS has been further upgraded with intelligent AI-assisted search and reporting in all fields including the archiving module restoration lifecycles management, with enhancements in metadata handling, the video player and subtitle generation.

Other new features and capabilities in LAPIS showcased this IBC include S3 Glacier integration, file duplication checking, live subtitles stream generation, enhanced media player with variable speed rewind and fast-forward, integration with ElevenLabs API, an external processing server with automatic content fingerprinting, the embedded metadata handling of files, image extraction from hi-res video, multilingual rich text (formatted text) fields, media source selection for the media player and markers customisation through the UI.

Organisations such as France Galop, Canal+ France, Council of Europe, Bulgarian National Radio and others have invested in Profuz LAPIS’ ability to deliver a revolutionary solution for effective asset management. LAPIS organises media assets like news, images, audios, movies, documentaries, series, clips, and promotions for categorisation, advanced searching, filtering, meta data tagging and sorting, by centralising all the data securely with reliable efficiency in one system.

There is also a new Movie File Burn Expert Plugin for advanced subtitle burn‑in into videos, now enhanced with video file conversion to multiple formats and resolutions, along with further improved Batch Processing that adds burn‑in support to batch operations as well as new duplicate and delete functions for more efficient batch management.

The advanced Batch Subtitle Conversion feature has broadened the available options for selecting timecode conversion methods and configurable timecode offset handling during batch subtitle conversion.
