Virage Platform Brings British Parliamentary Proceedings to the Internet
Westminster Digital Uses Virage Technology to Improve Access and Distribution of Parliamentary Video Footage
SAN MATEO, Calif - March 12, 2001 - Virage, Inc. a leading provider of software and services that enable video for strategic online applications, today announced that Westminster Digital, a leading webcaster with rights to the live streaming of proceedings in Parliament, has chosen to use the Virage Video Application Platform and Virage application services for its new website. The site, which went live on March 7th with coverage of the Chancellor's budget speech, utilizes the Virage SmartEncode™ process along with application hosting and syndication services. The new web-based system provides customers with an accurate video search engine and a sophisticated video distribution management system.
By using Virage technology, Westminster Digital can provide an online, searchable video database of parliamentary proceedings for anyone with an interest in current affairs and British politics. It also allows Westminster Digital partners to redistribute video footage from the House of Commons efficiently and comprehensively, subject to license. Westminster Digital has the only website to provide constant live access to parliament, and, in what is expected to be an election year, content provided by Westminster Digital is sure to be at the forefront of political coverage in the UK.
Philip Haggar, director of Westminster Digital Ltd explains, "Virage provides us with products and services perfectly suited to our industry needs. We webcast live 24x7. Selected coverage will now be archived for fourteen days so customers can access the precise content of use to them through a video search engine. For instance, once the Chancellor made his budget speech on March 7th customers were quickly be able to find the content that they are particularly interested in."
The Virage SmartEncode process simultaneously indexes and encodes Westminster Digital's video content. It can then convert it into a structured database that can be searched on demand, delivering precise video clips. Virage Syndication Manager™ enables Westminster Digital to distribute video footage via the Internet, protecting their rights while providing secure and efficient distribution to online affiliates.
Haggar continues, "We were looking for a service that would allow us to distribute the right content to the right customer. Virage's Syndication Manager product stood out as the most powerful and flexible option. No two customers have the same requirements, and Virage lets us meet all their demands without compromising our video rights."
Mark Rattley, vice president and general manager of Virage Europe Ltd says, "By using Virage technology, Westminster Digital is truly unlocking the value of its video rights with better access and improved distribution. Their site can now deliver personalized, targeted parliamentary content, while coverage of key events such as budget statements, Prime Ministers Question Time, and other important parliamentary milestones can by effectively syndicated."
