The European Broadcasting Union Selects Virage to Share Video Content Across Europe
EBU Will Use Virage's Internet Video Infrastructure to Enhance Its Content-Sharing Service for Local European Broadcasters
IBC 2000 CONFERENCE, AMSTERDAM - September 9, 2000 - Virage, Inc., a leading provider of software products and application services that enable video for the Internet, today announced that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the largest professional association of national broadcasters in the world, will be using Virage software and application services to create on online searchable video solution for its member broadcasters. The Virage platform will allow the EBU to provide indexed streaming video as part of its news exchange service.
"Ever since the first live multi-national broadcast - Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953 - most news and sports that appears on television screens in Europe has been distributed via the Eurovision network," said Henri Perez, Director of Operations at the EBU. "Every day a dozen multi-item exchanges provide material for national news bulletins. Each year around 25,000 news items and 7,700 hours of sports and cultural programmes are transmitted. Currently we have to notify our members of available material by text, but using Virage's technology we can create video storyboards and a searchable index of the shots. Operating in so many different languages can be difficult when just working in text, but with video a news story is instantly recognisable. In the future we look forward to working with Virage to provide all our footage by streaming it across the Internet."
"The EBU is one of the most important players in European and world broadcasting. From the Eurovision Song Contest to a library of European music programme rights they have brought broadcasters together to develop and share entertainment, education and information," said Mark Rattley, VP and General Manager of Virage Europe. "We are pleased to have been selected by them to make their services more accessible and more available on the Internet."
