Blinkx Overview

blinkx's commitment to innovation is reflected in the ground-breaking, sophisticated, user-orientated products which it has regularly released since the company launched and which includes blinkx Remote, blinkx it and the blinkx Video Wall.

blinkx takes a holistic approach to video search: the power of its solution lies in using every characteristic of the video itself to understand the content. For example, blinkx listens to the sound track using speech-to-text technology, looks at the images on screen using advanced video analytics, and reads other information embedded into the file by using media-analysis plug-ins to extract, for example, closed captioning. In this way, blinkx is processing as much information as possible to enable both extremely accurate search, and more advanced operations such as automatic hyperlinking of related content or implicit query, which understands the content a user is producing and viewing. 

blinkx's unique, patented and award-winning video and audio analysis technology, which literally watches and listens to rich media content online, has enabled it to build a massively detailed, objective and scalable index. blinkx's index of over 35 million hours of video is searchable to a much deeper degree than the weak, manually-created, metadata-based approaches to video search of the past.

Add Relevance. Add Audience. AdHoc.
blinkx AdHoc is the first contextual and behavioral advertising platform for online video, designed to place highly relevant ads against TV and video on the Web. AdHoc is unique in its ability to match emotive, compelling TV-style ads to audiences on the Video Web, resulting in more effective marketing for advertisers and, most importantly, an engaging, non-disruptive experience for consumers.

AdHoc offers advertisers the most flexible solution for customizing the timing and appearance of ads within our premium video content, with options that include pre-, post- and mid-roll placement, as well as dynamically-selected, contextual overlay banners and a unique, story-telling unit known as the Un-roll. To date, the platform has run hundreds of campaigns for some of the most recognizable brands in the world including Coca-Cola, Shell and Microsoft.

blinkx is a thriving and fast-paced company – a publicly traded, international business with the heart of a start-up. We’re looking for smart, creative and passionate individuals to join our team and make their own unique contribution to the organization. Your opinions will be heard and your individual input encouraged, as we feel that every employee is integral to our success and has much more to offer than fits in a job description.
