Eyespot Media Mashup
Moderation Platform for Copyrighted Video
Online Video Mixing Suite Entices Rights
Owners to Leap Into Social Media Using
Audible Magic's Enabling Technology
San Diego
(May 7, 2007-) - Eyespot (http://www.eyespot.com)
today announced the launch of the Web's
premier distributed video playground, which
offers white label services to brands and
portals to profit from user-generated media.
Since launching a seamless media mixing
platform for the NBA, in addition to
partnering with Paramount Pictures and Jive
Records, the swift startup has perfected an
end-to-end solution to create a thriving
community of social media creators while
providing the opportunity to bolster the
value of catalog and content assets.
Engaging fans
with the opportunity to play with media
offers online entities the chance to create
new revenue streams while simultaneously
promoting the discovery of new products,
which communities energetically share.
"We've fine
tuned and honed a complex suite of tools to
offer a compelling service that will excite
fans and end users while also addressing the
justifiable concerns of entertainment
giants," said Jim Kaskade, CEO of Eyespot.
"This represents a win-win for the online
community and rights holders. Using Audible
Magic's content recognition solution as part
of the Eyespot platform allows this media to
be legally available to play with. "
The core of
the platform is the mixing playground, which
is an AJAX, web-based video editing tool so
intuitive and easy to use that fans don't
have to download clunky software or learn
new skills to create entirely original
videos from their favorite clips, their own
web cams, or from the community's vast pool
of legal content.
Music scoring
is an immensely popular activity among
mashup artists. In an effort to encourage
record labels to participate with media
sharing, Eyespot has partnered with Audible
Magic, the leader in content recognition
technology. The system ensures that
recording companies can decide which songs
they would like available for mixing
promotions.
"Eyespot is
building a unique network where premium
content meets user-generated content," said
Vance Ikezoye, Audible Magic Founder and
CEO. "Using our digital content recognition
technology, Eyespot is enabling what we see
as the first content playground on a massive
scale, with online users interacting with
content consistent with the rights holders'
rules."
To further
soothe the furrowed brows of copyright
holders, Eyespot's media suite also offers
an administrative moderation tool to filter
out any inappropriate media before mashups
are available for embedding or sharing. The
entire playground platform is designed to
alleviate the security concerns of media
owners so that fan favorites will be legally
available for users to play with and share
on social media networks and blogs.
