MetaPlayer is the Web’s first video player to deliver a true “lean-forward” consumption experience. To date, online video has resembled simply another screen for users to passively consume video It has not delivered on the promise of interactivity to meet Internet users’ demand. EveryZing’s proprietary ability to automatically generate high quality transcripts and tags combined with MetaPlayer’s ability to play videos from multiple backends including YouTube, Brightcove, and any in-house developed player creates the seamless video user experience that top-tier publishers require.
EveryZing’s ezSEARCH and ezSEO currently address the key challenges of multimedia search and discovery on both our partners’ sites and across major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. The MetaPlayer provides the third-leg of audience development by using EveryZing generated transcripst, auto-tags and thumbnails to create a lean-forward multimedia experience.
MetaPlayer leverages EveryZing’s patented ability to create high quality meta data around each audio and video clip, including full-text transcripts and automatic tagging. This rich meta data is then integrated into the end user experience, enabling them to search within a video, navigate a video conceptually using time-stamped tags, or visually navigate a video using our patent-pending scene-based navigation.
On the Web, users are in control. The challenge is to give them the features they demand for sharing, clipping, and commenting on your content, while still maintaining control of the brand and advertising elements. With MetaPlayer, users are able to take advantage of our advanced video clipping capability and comprehensive sharing options delivering viral consumption of your content while extending advertising reach.
