Today should be an interesting day in San Francisco. I've been looking forward to NewTeeVee Live conference for a couple months now. I'll admit this is somewhat due to the fact that Elemental is featured as one of ten of GigaOM's "favorite startups," but also because the conference has a terrific lineup. The startups invited were asked to talk about what they think is the "Next Big Thing"; there should be some interesting responses! Elemental is the first company to present, and I'm very curious to hear what the following companies (including some of the most exciting companies in the space like Boxee, Ooyala and Inlet) predict.NewTeeVee Live logo

Beyond the "Next Big Thing" portion, the schedule features a buffet of intriguing conversations with new media thought leaders and companies. I've been especially looking forward to hearing more about:

  • The biggest news is that our Elemental Server product has moved into the beta phase with several online video platform and broadcast customers. Elemental Server is a game-changing product for enterprise customers that have to deal with large volumes of video. In the past, these customers had to create just a few renditions of their content; today, they have to figure out how to get video formatted for the myriad of playback devices and distribution systems that consumers demand. Elemental's GPU-powered Server product dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of creating all these streams.
