Linius Is The Only Company That Can Virtualize Video
Why Do You Care?
==> picture [98 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Video “works”, in the sense that we can watch video on the Internet. But the entire rest of the world of data is virtualized — only video isn’t. And the impact is that all of our computer science advances fail when it comes to video.
-
Why can’t I search across videos?
-
Why do movies lose nearly 20% of revenue to piracy, when we do all of our
-
banking online without issue?
-
Why is < 0.3% of security video every analyzed?
-
The list goes on
Even though video is digital, legacy formats make it difficult or impossible to access the underlying data inherent in it

Making the World’s Video Accessible as Data
==> picture [98 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
The Linius Video Virtualization Engine™ (VVE) transforms traditional video files, into data (or virtualized files), enabling unprecedented capabilities, flexibility & monetization.
==> picture [89 x 89] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [420 x 207] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [80 x 81] intentionally omitted <==
Accessing the data within the video file is the missing link for video cloud service providers, creating unparalleled value across the internet video industry.
==> picture [960 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

Even The Most Simple Example — Search — Demonstrates The Capability
A Simple Example — Today
==> picture [98 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
You get hundreds, or thousands of results — which are mostly irrelevant
Even when you get a “good” result, you may have to scroll through 20 minutes of garbage to find your 1 relevant minute
==> picture [960 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

Same Example, with Linius
==> picture [98 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
You instantly get a single, hyperpersonalized video, showing exactly what you want
Dynamically created from the raw data of the dozens of videos where your desired content rests
