Gotuit Named 2008 Streaming Media Editor's Pick
List of 10 Winners Places Gotuit Alongside Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft
Woburn , Mass – March 27, 2008 - Gotuit, the Video Metadata Company, today announced that their flagship product, the Gotuit PowerVideo Suite, was selected by the editors of Streaming Media magazine as one of their 2008 Editor’s Picks.
This annual list, recently published in the 2008 Streaming Media Industry Sourcebook and online at streamingmedia.com/article, highlights “the top ten products and services in the streaming and online video industries in the last year.” The editors polled Streaming Media readers and coupled the complied information with their own industry knowledge for this year’s selections.
“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),” noted Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, Editor, Streaming Media. “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 2008 Streaming Media Editor's Picks are: 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.
“Video publishers are searching for ways to unleash the full potential of their video libraries,” said Mark Pascarella, CEO of Gotuit. “Our patented technology utilizes a new layer of rich, granular video metadata to drive greater user engagement and content monetization. The PowerVideo Suite enables our customers to deliver true video optimization. We are honored to be recognized by Streaming Media alongside such prominent products like the Apple iPhone, the Adobe Media Player, and Microsoft’s Expression Encoder.”
