On 19th February 2019, Linius announced it had successfully validated its 
blockchain capability: 
https://www.linius.com/linius-successfully-tests-worlds-first-virtual-video-blockchain/ 


Linius built and tested a prototype, where virtual video can be embedded in a 
blockchain, and smart contracts used to control the transactions associated 
with video files.

Since that time, Linius has successfully connected the blockchain to a video 
player, making the prototype easily demonstrable.  

The webinar will:

--Demonstrate virtual video playing on a blockchain-aware player 
--Outline the steps taken to make video blockchain( 
https://www.linius.com/linius-successfully-tests-worlds-first-virtual-video-blockchain/) 
possible for the first time 
--Explain the benefits and use cases including anti-piracy, auditability, 
   hyper ledger payment methods, and new revenue generation 
--Discuss high level next steps

"With virtual video embedded within each block of the blockchain, smart 
contracts can be used to control the transactions associated with video files," 
said Linius CEO, Chris Richardson. "For the first time, content owners -- such 
as movie studios -- can have complete control and visibility over video 
distribution and ensuing revenue flows."

Research from the World Economic Forum suggests that distributed ledger 
technology like blockchain could boost global trade by more than $US 1 trillion 
over the next decade.

"With figures like that, it's easy to see why major cloud providers and Linius 
partners such as IBM, Microsoft and Amazon, are devoting significant funds to 
the development of blockchain technology," said Richardson. "From IBM 
Hyperledger, to Azure Blockchain Workbench, and Amazon Managed Blockchain."

"Linius Video Blockchain has the potential to address myriad challenges 
regarding video distribution, protection and monetization -- throughout the 
global media and entertainment industry, and beyond."

patented the Video Virtualization Engine(TM) (VVE), which is available on 
Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud.

Amazon, Microsoft and IBM are investing billions in virtualizing 'video

arguably the biggest battle on the internet, given that video accounts for 
nearly 80 percent of internet traffic.

Only Linius can expose the data that makes up the video file, making cumbersome 
video as flexible as all other forms of data. Accessing the data within the 
video file is the missing link for video cloud service providers, creating 
unparalleled value across the internet video industry.

Linius' VVE-powered Video Hyper-Personalization and Search Solution( 
https://www.linius.com/hyper-personalized-video-solutions/) enables anyone to 
instantly search the data within video, from across an infinite number of 
sources, and automatically assemble the results in a single stream on-the-fly. 
No human hands required.

Linius is revolutionizing the way organizations and individuals across the 
globe produce, deliver and consume video, enabling previously impossible 
hyper-personalized 
video(https://www.linius.com/hyper-personalized-video-solutions/) experiences.

It's a breakthrough set to disrupt entire multi-billion-dollar industries. 
Linius is initially focused on delivering its Video Hyper-Personalization and 
Search Solution to six core markets: News and Media, Sports Broadcasters and
