There are definite signs of improved delivery, said Dr. Hui Zhang of Conviva. Zhang said his company has technology that measures, second-by-second, the quality of the video experience.

Thanks to its work improving video streaming for clients, Conviva has a unique view on what viewers want and how broadcasters are meeting the challenge. At the 2014 Streaming Media East conference, Conviva vice president of product marketing Ramin Farassat sat down for a red carpet interview to explain how viewer expectations are changing.

It’s taking less time for online video streams to buffer, and the delivery of low-resolution content online has increased dramatically, according to a new report on 2013 video from analytics company Conviva.

A new study from online video optimization firm Conviva offered a dose of good and bad news for streaming world – video buffering is on the decline, but consumers are less tolerant of it when it does occur.

Conviva’s Intelligent Control Platform (ICP) for video processed 45 billion streams in 2013. This represents a quadrupling of capacity in the last 2 years. The streams were seen across more than 1.6 billion devices – including PCs, tablets, smartphones and connected TVs – in 180 countries and on more than 400 premium media video players.

Video stream optimizer Conviva reported today that its Intelligent Control Platform processed over 45 billion streams in 2013, a 4x increase in the last two years. The streams were viewed across more than 1.6 billion devices, including PCs, tablets, smartphones and connected TVs, in 180 countries and through more than 400 premium media video players.

Video intelligence and big data processing specialist Conviva has revealed that it processed over 45 billion streams in 2013, increasing the size of its global intelligence base by more than four times over the last two years, and suggested that this growth is a strong factor in enabling its customers better to serve the Internet […]

Today, there is a lot of growth of video usage on mobile platforms, with tablets leading the way.

These days, many want to suggest that cable TV offerings will be “killed” or “replaced” by content services being delivered over the Internet using content delivery networks.

CBC, a national broadcaster in Canada, has strategically collaborated with Conviva to incorporate Conviva’s anticipatory optimization and per-viewer performance analytics.

Conviva recently signed one of the longest deals in streaming media; a 6 year agreement with HBO to provide video optimization support for the Go product.

More and more people are taking advantage of online streaming to watch video content. It’s convenient, fast, and cost-effective … when it works.

While millions of cord cutters are eagerly awaiting their chance to subscribe to HBOGo, the CEO of the company that helps ensure that HBO’s over the top content looks good is skeptical about when that might happen. Darren Feher, the CEO of Conviva, thinks things will get worse for cord cutters before they get better.

March Madness has continued to manifest itself in record numbers digitally and on mobile devices during the 2013 tournament to date.

Cord-cutting is only attractive if there’s lots of quality content and it’s not expensive. Both of those factors could be going away soon–or at lease be substantially diminished–according to Darren Feher, CEO of Conviva, who expects that higher fees and less content will become the norm as the online video space finds its footing.

HBO has re-signed Conviva, a provider of online video-optimization technology, to a six-year deal to support the premium programmer’s HBO Go and Max Go “TV Everywhere” services.

Thanks to a partnership between thePlatform, the online video publishing company owned by Comcast, and video optimization company Conviva, customers of thePlatform’s MPX video publishing system now have the benefit of Conviva’s Viewer Insights. Video analytics from Conviva will be available as a component within the MPX system at no additional cost.
