Delve Networks launched its breakthrough Internet TV and online video publishing platform. In addition to hosting video content, Delve's platform gives content publishers all the necessary tools to upload, manage and track the performance of their online video. Delve processes video through its proprietary semantic layer, which creates a visual map of each video, allowing users to find the exact content they want within a program. The platform supports the H.264 video codec delivering exceptional video quality at low bandwidth rates.

    With its semantic video web technology and HeatMap interface, Delve becomes the first video platform to enable users to navigate within a hosted video file to find the exact content they want. Delve Networks’ ability to “look inside” video content, process massive amounts of video quickly, allow viewers to find exactly what they are interested in, and world-class network and infrastructure provide content owners and publishers with the most advanced video platform in the industry.

    Alex Castro, CEO of Delve Networks noted: "Technological innovation is driving the proliferation of online video and we have introduced the most advanced video platform in the industry. But while web video has been growing at a geometric rate, existing platforms haven't kept pace. We offer a more intelligent approach to managing and publishing video, because of our system's ability to look inside the video itself. Delve allows users to navigate to the content they want to see inside a program, bringing the power of search and the ease of DVR-style navigation to online video."

    Delve Networks provides a complete end-to-end solution for everything you need to publish Internet TV channels and online video. This includes a unique and highly customizable video player that invites viewers to spend more time watching video on your Web site. Our video library tools make it easy to upload your video, quickly associate metadata, organize and manage your video, publish related video as part of a video channel, and track usage metrics associated with your video.

    "Delve's platform allows users to find the topics they want inside the high quality video that we produce," stated Romy Randev, director of business development at Soma Media. "We find that the HeatMap technology is particularly compelling, as it saves users time and gives them an instant 'visual map' of a video file. This kind of innovation is raising the bar for video publishing on the Web."

    The user-friendly platform design features a number of tools that facilitate efficient use. The platform's interfaces and management tools allow for file uploads, creating video channels and running a variety of usage metrics and analytics. The platform also supports a wide range of advertising units, including the recently ad units standardized by the Internet Advertising Bureau.
