The Nashville Music Awards reception on the first evening of Next Big Nashville (October 7) named Landmark Digital Services, an audio recognition and broadcast-monitoring provider, as Innovator of the Year. The company’s Blue-Arrow audio recognition technology was cited as a “leader in advancing music through technological innovation.”
BlueArrow is a patented pattern-recognition algorithm capable of identifying recorded music from any audio source by matching a short sample against a massive database of audio “fingerprints” or signature files. The technology can identify recorded music within one to two seconds despite high noise, signal interference or compression.
