Media & Publishing
MediaRich’s image and video preview functionality along with cross-browser, multiple-file upload for both Mac and Windows have become essential to our daily operations, something we couldn’t imagine living without within the SharePoint environment
Doug Shepard, Director of IT, Augsburg Fortress PublishersMedia, Entertainment and Publishing companies are undergoing a dramatic shift in the way their businesses are operating. Technological changes embraced by the new digital viewing audience and readership are forcing traditional media, entertainment and publishing companies to transition into unprecedented new models of interactivity and viewer choice. Viewers are no longer willing to watch TV Shows or Films on a single screen at a set time of day or sit down and read an entire newspaper. On top of that, a new type of media, user generated content (UGC) has now come into it’s own and commands a growing share of viewing time.
A new class of viewer is selecting Mobile, Web and over-the-top (OTT) connected TV to access premium and social video and other types of content. Mass-marketing paradigms are no longer effective in reaching this emerging class of viewer.
Film, Home Entertainment, Broadcast, News and Cable TV are experiencing unprecedented audience fragmentation. Viewers are finding alternatives. The resulting turmoil is disrupting distribution windows and lowering revenues. Many viewers are spending significant time on social networks. Social networks now boast 100s of millions of users, but must rely on third party providers for instant, high-quality video sharing and delivery capability.
Platforms: High quality, on-demand video delivery to multiple devices requires separate delivery platforms with manual task management or controls, which disrupt video flow, interrupt viewer interaction, hamper data collection and corrupt Ad results. Manual stops and starts diminish the user experience for viewers and reduce the reach and impact of Ads. As premium and social viewers and the number of videos with Ads increases, the processes, manual interactions and delivery costs increase exponentially.
This complexity and cost ultimately force premium content providers like Studios and other Distributors to give up direct control of their content delivery to third party aggregators. This process dis-intermediates the Studio or Distributor from the viewer and devalues whatever insights are reported from third parties. The net effect is that profits are lost in the process as much of the revenue is siphoned off to third parties.
Social networks have developed extensive systems that connect users to one another, however while they can share and display short form video or image files, they fall short with regard to high quality, long form video.
EQ Network was designed and developed with this transition in mind.
