History
Founded as "mPOINT" in 2007 by Chris Cali, Frank Gatto, and Chiranjeev Bordoloi, the company became known for their TranSend technology which allowed for transcoding, metadata creation and management, syndication, packaging, delivery and reporting - all performed in the cloud, which generates cost-savings and simpler work flows. The platform also focused on mobile video advertising, where TranSend was able to call a video ad file from an ad server such as DART, along with the source file for the requested video and encode both on-the-fly into the device's optimal file format.[2]
Current State
The company re-branded in March 2010 as Panvidea[3] and continues to focus on cloud-based video preparation, storage, and delivery. They have been covered by GiGaom[4][5] alongside AdCast, Axceleon and other mainstream service provider due to their use of Cloud-based video encoding to deliver content via secure channels to an increasingly piracy-ridden entertainment industry. Their client roster includes A&E, Fox Broadcasting Company and Getty images. Their current partners include large CDNs, video platforms, enterprise IT provides, and broadcast technology vendors including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Akamai, Brightcove, Aspera, MainConcept, and IBM.
