Mainstream Data Unveils Cloud-based Screening Room at MIPTV

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, April 03, 2014 (Press-News.org) Mainstream Data Inc. announced today that it is launching its new virtual screening room product--MediaShowroom --on April 7th at the MIPTV conference in Cannes, France.

MediaShowroom is a cloud-based, robust, extensible, and affordable digital asset management suite that allows video content producers to store, screen, sell, and track video content.

"MediaShowroom empowers video content producers, allowing them to showcase their programming independent of time and space. Instead of burning and shipping DVDs to potential licensees--wasting time and money--MediaShowroom places potential programming buyers just one email link away from their own private content screening. The results are amazing: immediate customer satisfaction, secure video asset control, increased revenue, and dramatically lower costs," said Scott Calder, President and CEO of Mainstream Data.

Using Mainstream's leading-edge digital asset management suite, plus unique transcoding, web delivery, and web analytics technologies, video content producers and distributors can give potential customers access to any one or to all of their videos using a single, simple, cloud-based platform. MediaShowroom makes searching and screening content easy and quick for licensees, giving them the option of viewing content online or--at the content producer's option--downloading and viewing the program offline.

MediaShowroom's robust analytics tool allows content creators to track how their customers interact with content, right down to reporting for how many seconds a clip was viewed, thus accelerating the content sales cycle.

"There is no longer any reason for video programming creators to be in the business of burning and shipping DVDs or building and managing asset management web sites. Mainstream Data's MediaShowroom connects prospective producers and licensors of programming instantly, securely, and at low cost," Calder added. "MediaShowroom sends the physical distribution of promotional DVDs back where it belongs--the twentieth century."
