TORONTO, Ontario – The Bulldog Group Inc. and Javu Technologies, Inc. announced an agreement that integrates Javu’s Clip Compiler, a component of Javu’s Video Processing Server technology with Bulldog’s digital product management and distribution software, Bulldog Two.Seven.
Now broadcasters, content creators, and new media companies can manage, edit, and distribute videos in a nearline or online archive directly from the desktop using Bulldog’s Digital Asset Management system.
Companies can improve time to market for their valuable video content and streamline the video production process by avoiding the time and expenses associated with video editing, approvals, and shipping.
”Our agreement with Javu extends the functionality of Bulldog to meet the needs of video-centric organizations,” says Chris Strachan, CEO of The Bulldog Group. ”Javu’s cutting-edge technologies and commitment to digital asset management enable us to provide our customers with access to powerful video editing, transcoding, and repurposing capabilities. As the first digital asset management provider to partner with Javu, we are pleased to provide our media and entertainment customers with tools that encourage the creative process and provide immediate returns on investment.”
Bulldog’s advanced, open architecture provides customers with a platform for ingesting, managing, tracking, reporting, and distributing digital content of any kind through multiple channels of delivery including Internet, broadband, and wireless technologies. Joining Javu’s Clip Compiler and video processing technologies with Bulldog’s core product provides authorized users with access to video assets for manipulation and reuse across the enterprise.
”Users can search and browse clips, select clips to be cut, sequence clips, select transitions and duration, overlay titles or other metadata, transcode video files into multiple formats, specify output format, resolution, and bit rate, and create new video assets.
Javu’s core Video Processing Server technology was designed for organizations that store, manage, deliver and re-purpose video assets,” says Daniel Stein, President of Javu Technologies, ”The partnership with Bulldog is a natural evolution of our product. As customers migrate their video archives online, we can provide high-performance, server-based solutions for editing, transcoding, and manipulating their video assets in any way.”
The combined technologies of Bulldog and Javu provide customers with a seamlessly integrated, end-to-end solution for managing and distributing video archive assets to broadcasters, Web publishers, and Interactive Service providers.
