Coincident TV (CTV) and Ascent Media’s Blink Digital Division to Provide Enhanced Interactive Video Services

Coincident TV (CTV), creators of the CTV hypervideo software suite that combines online video, social media, weblinks and commerce in one immersive experience, today announces a technology collaboration with Ascent Media Group’s Blink Digital, one of the leading digital media production studios in the country.

"The collaboration between CTV and Blink Digital is a natural symbiosis,” says David Kaiser, chief executive officer and co-founder of CTV.

"The combination of technologies, media industry knowledge and resources will enable a full-service offering that is unmatched.”

CTV’s unique cue point language (CPL) driven software and technology offers a foundation for Blink Digital to incorporate advanced design, development and delivery service capabilities when creating multifaceted online video experiences, such as virtual DVDs and superfan web destinations.

"A key part of Ascent Media’s strategy is to improve the quality of online video experiences,” says Ralf Jacob, vice president of operations at Blink Digital. "We believe that joining forces with CTV will give us the advanced tools necessary to create and deliver next-generation interactive video content.”

CTV and Blink Digital’s initial projects and proofs of concept are currently being developed and will be released later this spring.
