Thursday, May 6 @ 11:05 AM
Panel description: The broadcast and cable industry has always been - at its heart - a video delivery technology bringing greater programming options to the consumer. And 75 years after its start the television industry remains true to its word - but how things have changed. Video is now more than television. Video is at the center of how consumers experience their daily lives. Video represents all-access, all the time programming from a world of entertainment and information providers. Video is broadband and that represents video access to hundreds of millions of video websites. Video is mobile, video is how consumers share their home movies and personal photography with friends. Television has created a video infrastructure - across platforms, from high definition to mobile that learns and responds as the needs of the consumer communications lifestyle emerges.

Thanks to Brian Deitte and the rest of the folks over at Brightcove for putting together the first Boston Brightcove Developers meetup last night. We were invited to speak and gave an overview of Gotuit and our integration with Brightcove. Specifically, we showed how video stored in Brightcove could be enabled with Gotuit's rich, scene-level metadata to improve the presentation, navigation, advertising performance, and monetization of source content. We also demonstrated our work with our latest customer - Turner Sports and Inside the NBA.
The other presentations were excellent. ScanScout gave an overview of how their advertising platform works with Brightcove, and two presenters from Brightcove showed how to enable VAST advertising and how to enable "long-form ad cuepoints". Thanks also to ScanScout for hosting the event.
If you are a Brightcove customer, or Alliance partner, I encourage you to attend these meetups in the future to get a first hand view of the latest and greatest capabilities, meet some great people, and share ideas with others in the Brightcove ecosystem.

Last week at the Streaming Media East 2009 show in NYC, we gave a 20 minute overview of the Gotuit Video Metadata Management System, and announced our latest customer - HISTORYTM, with Ice Road Truckers Video Mash-Ups.
The good folks at Streaming Media just posted video from the event. For those of you not able to make it, you can watch our presentation here.
It describes how broadband video publishers can tap the power of premium, scene-level metadata to drive more visits, longer session time, and greater content monetization, no matter what content delivery network (CDN), content management system (CMS), or advertising partners they use. Enjoy!

We were very happy today to learn that we were named a finalist for the 2009 MITX Technology Awards in the Rich Media category (for the third year in a row!). You can see all the 2009 finalists listed here.
While our entry was for our complete Gotuit Video Metadata Management System (VMMS), we showcased our work with World Wrestling Entertainment and the WWE Smash-Ups site. It is a terrific example for Rich Media, as WWE created a compelling new video product using our technology and a subset of their video archive. Their viewers go to Smash-Ups to put together two minute remixes from the authorized WWE video library. Delivering strong viewer engagement with powerful inherent viral sharing, look for other remix customer announcements from us soon.
The winners will be announced on June 16th at the 6th Annual MITX Technology Awards event. Details can be found here. Having won back in 2007, we are looking to reclaim our title!

Going to Digital Hollywood next week? Gotuit will be attending and will participate on a panel. Gotuit CEO Mark Pascarella will speak on Thursday at “Video Metadata Revolution: Unleashing the Value of Video Programming in an On Demand World”.
Thursday, May 7th - 2:15PM
Video Metadata Revolution: Unleashing the Value of Video Programming in an On Demand World: As “on demand” video programming becomes widely accessible via numerous platforms and players, rich video metadata is being used to enable consumers to personalize their viewing experience, tailored to their interests and viewing environment. As a result, while consumers were once limited to viewing programs from beginning to end, they can now engage in video “snacking”, “playlisting”, “remixing” and “sharing”. At the same time, rich video metadata is offering content producers and distributors new ways to present and organize the program assets, thereby creating new revenue streams with the opportunity for higher CPM, metadata driven, contextual advertising. As technology, content and advertising companies now work together to unleash the power generated by rich video metadata, the consumer will be in the driver’s seat, watching video when they want and how they want.
The panel is being moderated by Bill Niemeyer, New Video Strategist & Tactician, billniemeyer.tv, Moderator
The full list of panel attendees is:
- Tim Napoleon, Chief Strategist, Media and Entertainment, Akamai Technologies
- Mark Pascarella, President & CEO, Gotuit

Going to Digital Hollywood next week? Gotuit will be there in force, with a booth (#45) and a presence on two different panels. Gotuit CEO Mark Pascarella will first speak on Wednesday at “The Television and the PC-Mobile: Technology and Content that Bridge the Digital Consumer Experience” and then on Thursday at “Video Metadata Revolution: Unleashing the Value of Video Programming in an On Demand World”.
Wednesday, October 29th - 3:50PM
“The Television and the PC-Mobile: Technology and Content that Bridge the Digital Consumer Experience”: The combination of the TV, the set-top, the broadband connection and digital video recorder is breaking down the barriers of TV viewing experience. Every player in the entertainment and technology food chain - from content owner to middleware and headend operator, to the subscriber service provider and finally to the CE manufacturer, all play an equally key role. The idea that consumers might use a TV, demanding personal and enhanced video services, as they do a computer has arrived - and it is our job to make the future happen today. In the near future, viewers might be watching a football game and at the same time, on a second window on the TV, that viewer might also be shopping for tank-tops or buying snacks from the supermarket. That viewer might be taping a show, watching a movie and doing research for a term paper on the web at the same time. The TV set will serve as gateway to entertainment and information as sure as the computer opens the door to a world of information. TV, interactive TV, IPTV, PVR, broadband based TV, there will likely be as many ways to describe the way consumers will use and access content and programming as there are companies supplying the options. In this session we will explore that coming future.
The panel is being moderated by Allison Dollar, CEO, ITV Alliance.
The full list of panel attendees is:
- Mark Pascarella, President & CEO, Gotuit
- Braxton Jarratt, CEO, Clearleap
- David Jensen, Partner, IBM Global Business Services
