Autonomy Unveils New Idol IP Television Suite

World's First Automatic Technology Enabling Real-Time Personalized Television

CAMBRIDGE, England, February 2/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU.) a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise, today announced a suite of new products aimed at
the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) market, supporting the delivery of
video on demand and bringing the power of Autonomy's award-winning enterprise
technology to television, video and audio assets across the Internet.
Autonomy's new IDOL IPTV Suite allows the automatic processing and retrieval
of television, video and audio content, from any source including over-the-
air broadcasts and free internet content, has already been successfully
implemented by internet search specialist Blinkx in their internet TV service
at http://www.blinkx.tv.



Autonomy's IDOL IPTV Suite is the world's first technology to
make TV and other multimedia content automatically manageable and fully
searchable in real time. Autonomy can automatically capture and index the
entire video stream directly from the television, allowing content consumers
to immediately locate specific clips and identify the exact content they wish
to watch or listen to. This ground-breaking technology offers broadcasters
the ability to deliver their content directly to content consumers with
maximum flexibility at minimal cost of ownership, and offers content
consumers the unprecedented freedom to create their "own" TV, allowing them
to pick and mix clips as they please and eliminate material that is not of
interest to them.



Autonomy's IDOL technology understands the content of all aggregated
material, not simply keywords, and is therefore able locate the
multimedia content that is of relevance for an individual user with the
greatest accuracy. Leveraging this intelligent capability, Autonomy's IDOL
IPTV Suite also can automatically identify and instantly alerts consumers to
related content in the media as it appears, keeping them constantly informed
and ahead of the latest developments. All collated material - whether TV,
audio or video content - can then be automatically clustered and organized
for effortless retrieval and convenient use.



Dr. Mike Lynch, group CEO of Autonomy commented, "This product
enables IPTV providers to offer today's consumers with an easier way of
finding video and audio content. For the content provider Autonomy's IDOL
IPTV Suite offers an automatic and cost-effective production and distribution
platform. With Autonomy's IDOL IPTV Suite we have entered the next logical
step in innovation, applying Autonomy's capabilities to Internet TV and
video, offering broadcasters the platform to provide consumers with a
revolutionary opportunity to reject their role as a merely passive audience
and create their own interactive TV."



Autonomy's unique Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL)
integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from
multiple repositories through an understanding of their content. Autonomy
grants enterprises the flexibility to use advanced information retrieval or
legacy-based approaches. At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability
to process text, voice and video and identify and rank the main concepts
within them. It then automatically categorizes, links, summarizes,
personalizes and delivers that information. Autonomy's technology also drives
collaboration across the enterprise and enables organizations to effectively
leverage expertise. Autonomy's infrastructure technology is used to automate
operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship
management, knowledge management, business intelligence and e-business
applications, among others.
