Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China released the "List of Typical Application Cases of Audiovisual Systems in 2024," and Sobey's Video Program Production Engine APE was successfully selected.
Audiovisual electronics is a general term for technologies, products, and services related to the production, presentation, and application of audio and video. It is an important tool for promoting the digital transformation of the economy and society and an important carrier for realizing people's better life. In order to further promote the high-quality development of the audiovisual electronics industry, cultivate new space for the development of the digital economy, accelerate the formation of a higher-level dynamic balance between supply and demand, and meet the requirements of the construction of a modern industrial system, in December 2023, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the High-Quality Development of the Audiovisual Electronics Industry." The document proposes that by 2027, China's audiovisual electronics industry will have significantly enhanced global competitiveness, achieved continuous breakthroughs in key technological innovation, continuously strengthened its industrial foundation, and continuously improved its industrial ecosystem, basically forming a development pattern characterized by superior innovation capabilities, strong industrial resilience, high degree of openness, and significant brand influence.
About the Video Program Production Engine APE
This system is Sobey's self-developed, industry-first AI-native video program production tool adapted to media processes. Built on artificial intelligence technology, it's an intelligent, routine video program production tool for the audiovisual industry. It supports the integration of plug-in algorithm models and enables efficient collaboration among multiple intelligent agents based on various large model foundations. With the story script at its core, APE can achieve "one-click" controllable intelligent generation of video content from text/manuscript to script to storyboard to final cut. It removes unusable shots according to cinematic language rules, and implements key program elements such as intelligent dubbing and automatic lyrics, generating a timeline that conforms to film and television production standards and cinematic art. This ensures complete video program output while automating and intelligentizing video content production, greatly improving the efficiency of content creation and program production.
