Video Cloud online video platform supporting onsite coverage from the
world's largest digital media and entertainment event
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud
content services, today announced that the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) will use the Brightcove Video Cloud online video
platform for live and on-demand streaming of coverage from the 2012 NAB
Show, April 14-19 in Las Vegas. Video Cloud will support "NAB Show
Live!", the video component of NABShow.com, which features live daily
updates and on-demand highlights of keynote addresses, conference
sessions, exhibits, and interviews from the show.
"NAB is working with Brightcove to make "NAB Show Live!" video content
easily accessible on as many devices as possible," said Chris Brown,
executive vice president, Conventions and Business Operations at NAB.
"Our goal is to generate excitement for the NAB Show experience to
audiences everywhere, whether they're following from halfway around the
world or attending in person and simply want to catch up on news they
may have missed."
With Video Cloud, NAB can deliver HTML5 and Flash-based video seamlessly
across desktops and devices, making it easy for non-attendees and
attendees alike to keep track of news and developments from the show.
Video Cloud Smart Players will also recognize what device a viewer is
using to watch content and automatically deliver a video stream
optimized for that screen, be it a smartphone, tablet, PC, or connected
TV.
"We are truly honored that NAB is using Video Cloud to bring the NAB
Show to life for digital media innovators both in Las Vegas and around
the world," said Eric Elia, vice president of TV solutions at
Brightcove. "Viewers can watch live updates from the show floor and the
best interviews when and on what device they choose."
Video Cloud provides a straightforward workflow for "NAB Show Live!",
which is critical given the fast-paced production environment and
aggressive schedule. Numerous video packages are simultaneously created
in multiple locations across the sprawling convention center, all of
which can be uploaded into Video Cloud and published directly to the NAB
Show Web site.
NAB Show will also produce a live wrap-up of the day's events, which
will be streamed in real-time through Video Cloud. Live encoding takes
place through Digital Rapids encoders and the live stream is delivered
in HD quality through the Akamai HD Network.
Brightcove is demonstrating the Video Cloud online video platform at the
2012 NAB Show in booth SL10505. To arrange a demonstration or schedule a
meeting, please contact us at nab@brightcove.com.
Tune in to "NAB Show Live!" at 4:30 pm PST starting Sunday, April 15
