ANVATO Knows / Video

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – February 28, 2011 – Anvato Inc. (www.anvato.com), the leader in high-end video platform solutions for broadcast media and a world pioneer in “machine vision,” announced today that it added Univision Interactive Media, Inc., the digital division of Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanish-language media company in United States, to its client roster.

Univision Interactive Media is incorporating Anvato Media Content Platform (MCP), Anvato’s one-stop-shop integrated video platform that streamlines online video publishing by providing local broadcast workflow integration, video management, transcoding, multiplatform syndication, and award-winning video analytics.

“Delivering high quality short and long form video to U.S. Hispanics wherever and whenever they want, both through our own media properties and through syndication partners, is a core part of our strategy and product offering,” said Kevin Conroy, president of Univision Interactive Media. “Anvato not only provides us with the ability to effectively manage our large and fast growing library of assets, but also enables us to further grow our reach as well.”

Univision Interactive Media’s complex video publishing network fully utilizes Anvato’s integrated video platform. Videos come in from multiple sources, including domestic and international partners with varying licensing terms and conditions and in different file formats. These premium videos are not only delivered to users across multiple platforms and formats – including web and mobile – but are also syndicated to more than twenty distribution partners using a multitude of “push” and “pull” syndication technologies.

Anvato Media Content Platform is specifically designed to meet the goals of high-end media companies that need to optimize their video publishing end-to-end. The platform captures content from on-demand and live sources including local broadcast operations, allows live editing, uses Anvato Human Eye machine vision to remove and insert commercials, encodes in multiple bit rates, manages video metadata, enforces access rights and enables secure syndication. Unlike hosted solutions, customers can install behind their firewalls, in the cloud or benefit from hybrid deployments, and reduce cost without compromising security.

“Anvato Media Content Platform is comprehensive, powerful, and flexible,” said Alper Turgut, CEO of Anvato. “We provide an end-to-end solution for large scale broadcasters and content publishers. Our workflow is entirely customizable; our customers can use our modules a-la-carte and securely integrate them to their systems.”

Anvato has been growing both rapidly and organically. Earlier this year it announced Kantar Video, a division of WPP, as a customer, and recently received technology and innovation awards for its pioneering work in online video analytics and measurement.
