Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), the leading provider of cloud

Show, a new service enabling publishers and brands to quickly

Brightcove Jump Start for Echo Show provides organizations a
solution to quickly build and bring to market rich video
experiences on the Amazon Echo Show®. It does this by connecting
the industry-leading Brightcove Video Cloud platform with the Echo
Show®, allowing Brightcove customers to easily expand the reach of
their content to Amazon’s “Alexa” digital assistant.
Echo Show enhances voice responses from Alexa with visuals,
optimized for visibility across a room. Brightcove helps you
imagine the possibilities, such as publishing video flash
briefings, providing hands-free access to recipe videos in the
kitchen or creating how-to videos that can be accessed in the
middle of any project.
Features of the Jump Start service include:
- Creation of a custom Alexa Skill
optimized for video flash briefings on the Echo Show and customized
to the content owner’s brand.
- Access to Brightcove’s world-class
consulting team to advise on Echo Show and Brightcove technology
strategy, best practices, and voice interaction design, drawn from
expertise in powering market-leading Alexa Skill experiences.
- Video experience powered by Video
Cloud's industry-leading video solutions for content management,
high-performance playback, and discoverability.
Brightcove provides deep expertise creating compelling Alexa
Skill experiences and offers publishers, broadcasters, and content
owners multiple paths to bring content to the Echo Show to support
a range of different business models.
Brightcove complements its Jump Start for Echo Show service with
a wide range of deep video capabilities, including:
- Modular online video services:
Brightcove enables delivery to Echo Show® with Video Cloud, the
industry’s leading cloud service for video ingest, publishing,
playback, content management, and analytics, while also offering
stand-alone solutions for server-side ad insertion (SSAI), and
transcoding. Through Brightcove’s modular approach, customers have
the flexibility to choose one or all of Brightcove’s video services
to support their existing infrastructure and workflow.
- TV-like ad-supported user
experience: Brightcove enables content owners to monetize
premium content through server-side insertion of pre-roll,
mid-roll, or post-roll ads. By stitching ads into video content in
the cloud, Brightcove delivers seamless, high performance playback
of ad-supported content to end users.
- Powerful SDKs & APIs:
Deployed by leading publishers around the world, the Brightcove
Mobile SDKs & CMS API enables developers to quickly create
video experiences that extend across mobile devices, set-up boxes
and voice powered virtual assistant devices.
“At Brightcove, we’ve long understood the way viewers consume
content is changing, and it’s our responsibility to ensure our
publishers’ content is ‘future proof’ for any new device or viewing
experience. The introduction of the Echo Show provides our
customers with another powerful opportunity to reach their
audiences,” Chris Fuller, vice president, Global Solutions,
Brightcove, said.
“This new device has the potential to be a watershed event for
the digital assistant industry and opens a significant opportunity
for our customers to reach new audiences, monetize content, and
extend their brands across one of the fastest growing device
ecosystems in history,” Fuller continues. “We are eager to help our
customers be among the first to take advantage of this new
platform, creating video enhanced skills for e-commerce, travel,
hospitality - or for virtually anything you can imagine - on the
Echo Show.”
