What Do Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, and Gotuit Have In Common?
Posted by Patrick Donovan on Thu, Mar 27, 2008 @ 12:55 PM
Answer - we each have products that were selected, along with six other companies, in the 2008 Streaming Media Editor’s Picks. This annual list, recently published in the 2008 Streaming Media Industry Sourcebook and online at streamingmedia.com here , highlights “the top ten products and services in the streaming and online video industries in the last year.”
Here is what Streaming Media editor Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen wrote about our flagship product: “The Gotuit PowerVideo Suite is the only product in our Editor’s Picks list that also took home a Streaming Media Reader’s Choice Award (Oct/Nov pp.30-42). That award was in the Search and Indexing Platform category, but the VideoDiscovery Module is only part of the PowerVideo Suite’s four-pronged attack. Granted that’s a terrific app for both viewers and advertisers - videos in a library are marked with metadata for each logical scene, and then scenes are categorized into playlists based upon that metadata - but the VideoMarker and VideoMixer modules are equally impressive. The former lets users themselves control the marking and tagging of their favorite clips, while the latter allows publishers to give users various degrees of control over the metadata, building far richer search and indexing experiences than would otherwise be possible.”
The full list of 2008 Streaming Media Editor’s Picks is as follows: Accordent Media Management System, Adobe Media Player, Apple iPhone, Elgato Turbo.264, Gotuit PowerVideo Suite, Microsoft Expression Encoder, Mogulus Live Broadcast, Rhozet Carbon Coder, ViewCast Niagara GoStream Plus, and Wowza Media Server Pro.
It is an honor to be acknowledged by such an authority on the industry, and alongside such prominent companies and compelling products. We have been building out our patented video metadata technology for over eight years, and this recognition is a tremendous validation of our unique approach to unleashing video libraries.
