Las Vegas, Wednesday, January 11, 2012 – Consumer Electronics Show, Content in the Cloud- Sean Barger, CEO of Equilibrium® today announced the unveiling of EQ Network Beta release. EQ Network™ provides seamless video delivery for high quality viewing on public and private channels across mobile phones, tablets, computers and Internet TVs from just about any video source, filetype or camera. The EQ Network App offers an extremely simple, highly intuitive consumer interface to simply watch video where and when viewers want to.

“For entertainment, business, friends and family, people are increasingly using an array of Internet connected devices to create and view video,” stated Barger, “but ease of use and scalability issues remain a stumbling block to widespread adoption”.

The global digital video market is expanding exponentially yet substantial challenges remain for both content owners and consumers.  The creation, processing, delivery, sharing and viewing of online streaming video is not yet a seamless experience for the delivery to the large number of platforms for mobile and internet TV.

Today’s fragmented market of consumer electronic devices, coupled with a lack of sophisticated, but easy to use management tools means that most media companies and consumers have to resort to very tedious and expensive, manually intensive processes to ingest, distribute and maintain their video assets.

EQ Network solves these problems by providing a simple user experience allowing the consumer or other content owners to upload, watch and share high quality (HD) video that eliminates the format and operating system issues.

“After extensive research, we have determined that the current hosted video capabilities and installable product suites are really expensive to scale, don’t provide instant end-to-end video delivery and are highly frustrating to all involved”, added Barger, “Equilibrium has created a new, centralized approach for publishing and subscribing to video channels eliminating the high cost of mobilizing video content while enabling seamless watching experiences across devices.”

The EQ Network service provides high quality viewing of both public and private video content across smartphones, tablets, computers and TVs from just about any video source, filetype or camera. The hosted, cloud based service automatically transforms video on-the-fly virtually eliminating the labor intensive preprocessing of video content and the programming exercise normally associated with supporting multiple devices.

Pairing Metalogix StoragePoint with Equilibrium MediaRich ECM for SharePoint Accelerates Productivity and Collaboration Through an Instant Visual View of Digital Content While Speeding SharePoint Performance

WASHINGTON, DC, September 7, 2011 – Metalogix Software, the leading provider in content lifecycle management (CLM) solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange®, and legacy environments, and Equilibrium, the seamlessly integrated on-demand content visualization and digital asset management company, today announced a partnership which will deliver the quickest and most efficient way to centralize digital enterprise content into SharePoint. By combining the capabilities of Metalogix StoragePoint and Equilibrium MediaRich ECM for SharePoint, mutual customers will benefit from an enhanced visual experience when searching and inspecting SharePoint document libraries – even when content has been offloaded from the SharePoint database to improve system performance.

“Equilibrium’s MediaRich solution transforms any SharePoint Document Library Web Part into a visually appealing interface while simultaneously enabling deep inspection of all files and search results,” said Sean Barger, CEO, Equilibrium. “This helps to accelerate productivity and collaboration while also enabling anyone to find and preview the right file for the job. When combined with StoragePoint, users can more easily store and find all content in SharePoint without burdening their SQL database with large files that can impede overall performance.”

“The partnership between Equilibrium and Metalogix helps resolve the fundamental problem of storing digital assets in SharePoint,” said Trevor Hellebuyck, vice president of enterprise technology, Metalogix. “When used together, MediaRich and StoragePoint enable SharePoint users and administrators to not only instantly visually search and view all digital content, but to also have the unstructured content BLOBs offloaded so that SharePoint databases can perform at optimum levels.”

Users of the paired solutions can achieve a visual experience with superior performance and scalability of content. A simple click of the MediaRich enable button in any document library transforms SharePoint document libraries into a visually appealing interface. This simultaneously enables deep inspection of all files and search results, accelerating productivity and collaboration, allowing anyone to find, review and prepare the right file for the job – in record time.

Device channels that enable downloads may be removed to keep control of videos. Ads, sponsor messages and ID’s are also inserted on-the-fly into pre-roll, mid-stream or post-roll positions.

The EQ Network’s scalable, patented MediaRich^® Ad-Per-View™ technology automatically optimizes video content to give the highest quality view based on device and bandwidth available. New devices are added to the EQ Network as soon as they become available.
