Johnny Halife, CTO, SOUTHWORKS said, “This new solution is not only one of the first of its kind but has given V-Nova the means to quickly spin up new demos and adapt to technology changes since our integration does not depend on any particular Web player but the standards the Web is built on.”

The ability to distribute video content online more efficiently and quickly by compressing content without losing quality and irrespective of the player that is used will provide a great amplification opportunity.”
