Virtualizing Video Content

Linius' patented Video Virtualization Engine(tm) analyzes and transforms your video source assets into a Virtualized asset record that is optimized for data enrichment, reassembly, and personalization. This Virtualization process takes only a few seconds per asset, without any re-encoding and leaving your original source files in their original locations.
