blinkx announces a partnership with
Amino Communications. Under the terms of the partnership, Amino and blinkx will develop an integrated search, recommendation and personalization solution powered by blinkx technology to be deployed on Amino's hybrid/OTT set-top boxes, including the award-winning Amino Freedom, which brings broadcast, on-demand TV, open Internet and local content together in a single device.
Based on technology that was perfected over 12 years at Cambridge University, blinkx uses a combination of patented conceptual search with speech and image recognition software to understand rich media more thoroughly than any other solution available today. This deep understanding of content enables blinkx to deliver unrivaled accuracy and relevancy in its search, personalization and recommendation capabilities.
Amino Communications, which already works with over 850 customers in 85 countries, has chosen to incorporate blinkx functionality into its Amino Freedom media centre. Through the partnership, Amino will leverage blinkx's vast Internet video index and functionality to fuse broadcast and broadband TV on their devices, and deliver the rich, easy-to-navigate entertainment experience consumers are demanding.
As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to find rich media on the Web. The company has made more than 720 partners and indexed over 35 million hours of video and audio content to date.
