Conviva

edit

Conviva is the global leader in preemptive video stream optimization, ensuring the best viewing experience for media brands. By providing an ideal video experience without buffering and stuttering, Conviva keeps viewers watching on any device, anywhere, while providing publishers with real time actionable data necessary to drive growth for their business.

Monitoring the viewer’s local environment, Conviva provides real-time Audience and Quality Insights across the entire video delivery ecosystem. Conviva’s Precison Video technology pinpoints potential issues before they occur and preemptively switches the video bitrate and/or stream source to improve the picture quality and prevent interruptions.

Conviva increases profitability within the streaming business by increased audience engagement. When video quality is high, viewers watch twice as much. Conversely, low quality costs publishers significant loss in audience engagement and revenue. Conviva monitors over 2.5 billion streams each month, and data reveals that a 1% increase in buffering results in over eight minutes lost in viewing time per person. Clients include leading media, sports and entertainment brands: HBO GO®, ESPN, AEGMedia, VEVO, NBC, Turner and ABC’s Disney. Conviva is headquartered in Silicon Valley, with offices in New York and London.

Conviva is founded by professors from Carnegie Mellon and U.C. Berkeley and backed by NEA, Foundation Capital and Time Warner Investments.
