Business Wire, July 27, 2010
Publishers Now Can Add IAB-Standard Ads to HD Content on HTML 5
Players
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Ooyala,
the leading end-to-end online video platform, announced
today that it now supports dynamic insertion of IAB-standard ads for the
iPhone and iPad. The enhancement to Ooyala's HTML 5 player is the latest
addition to the company's popular monetization offering.
Helping publishers grow their businesses and generate revenue from
their content has always been one of Ooyala's core goals, said Bismarck
Lepe, President of Products at Ooyala. Mobile devices are becoming a
big percentage of total video delivery for some publishers. As a result,
we felt it was important to develop a quick and easy way for them to
start monetizing this mobile audience without the need for complicated
SDKs and custom player development.
Forty percent of 18-29 year olds watch videos on their mobile device,
according to Mobile Access 2010," a report just released by the Pew
Internet and American Life Project. Ooyala's announcement means it will
be easy for content owners to serve IAB standard ads to this growing and
important audience.
Mobile video delivery has become a key priority as viewers increase
their consumption on mobile devices, said Jason Krebs, Executive Vice
President at ScanScout.
Until now, companies have not been able to monetize their video content
on the iPhone and iPad. We are pleased to be working with Ooyala to
offer publishers the ability to generate revenue as they grow their
mobile audience.
At YuMe, we are constantly working to help publishers earn money from
their video content on each and every viewing device to which they
publish, said Jayant Kadambi, Co-founder and President of YuMe.
We look forward to working with Ooyala to provide innovative video
advertising solutions for publishers as they expand their digital video
audiences beyond the PC.
Ooyala publishers can embed playlists and deliver mobile video with
adaptive bitrate technology to ensure the best possible viewing
experience for any Internet connection. Adaptive bitrate delivery is
vital to viewer engagement and revenue growth: 60% of online video users
say a poor viewing experience makes them less likely to return to a
site, according to Jupiter Research.
Ooyalas out of the box solution requires no additional development
work, so publishers can quickly build a mobile business and reach their
on-the-go audience. Mobile monetization is built into Backlot, Ooyalas
comprehensive video platform, and is available to all accounts.
