February 25, 2011
As video becomes the new way to communicate, online video is getting significant attention.
Kaltura, an Israeli startup founded in 2006, recently developed an open-source video platform to compete with the industry leader Brightcove. Brightcove has been pioneering the market since 2004. In their third round of financing Open-source video platform co Kaltura raises $20m. Previous rounds had raised $14 million in funds.
The open-source video platform:
\“enables any website to incorporate video, picture, and voice functionalities, including video management, searching, uploading, importing, editing, annotating, remixing, sharing, and advertising. The platform supports desktop computers, tablet computers, television, and other devices.”
Already in use by high-profile companies such as Fox, Paramount, HBO, and Warner Brothers, Kaltura offers an attractive and flexible alternative to Brightcove at a lower price. Time will tell if the recent injection of capital will be enough to overcome the entrenched competition.
