Kaltura and Intelligent Television Partner to Enhance Cultural and Educational Projects With Rich-Media Collaboration

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 28, 2008) - Kaltura, Inc., a pioneer in Collaborative Media, and Intelligent Television, a new nonfiction media company, announced today that the organizations will work together on several joint experiments revolving around culture and education using rich-media in the community.

"Intelligent Television is all about educational productions, public media, and community projects, so Kaltura's concept of group collaboration in rich-media fits our business philosophy like a glove," said Peter B. Kaufman from Intelligent Television. "Featuring the Kaltura platform in our new productions and in our research projects with moving image archives is very exciting."

The companies invite the community to join and contribute time, skills and ideas, as well as suggestions of relevant projects.

"It's great to work with Intelligent Television, a producer with the same values and visions of community and joint creation as Kaltura," said Ron Yekutiel, Chairman and CEO of Kaltura. "This relationship is an important addition to the Kaltura Global Network, en route of making Kaltura the standard of online rich-media editing and collaboration."

Kaltura and Intelligent Television will work on a variety of joint projects including a new documentary history of the Korean War with Jigsaw Productions and Intelligent Television's multiyear Memory Project.

"The Longest Winter" tells the story of America in the Korean War based on the book "The Longest Winter" from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam. "The Longest Winter" film is centered on eyewitness accounts and archival media, including rare color film shot during the conflict. Producers Intelligent Television and Jigsaw Productions combine traditional narration, contemporary voices from soldiers and others caught in the events, interviews with veterans, and Halberstam's words and voice to bring a new sensory experience to the telling of wartime history -- and a fresh sense of relevance for the television viewer of today. Using Kaltura's platform, the archive of material from the film and many of the interviews that are being conducted will be made available to the public to annotate and mix online -- see more at http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/browse?kshow_id=99428.

The Memory Project is a blend of new and archival media about the nature of memory produced by award-winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth. Kaltura technology will also be featured prominently in the work of Intelligent Television's new educational video studio, which the company launched in November 2007.
