The Internet Archive, a massive library housing digital media, has selected Kaltura's Video solution to support both HTML5 and Flash.

Using the Kaltura video player, the solution can quickly identify if Flash or HTML5 are needed and the right content is then delivered.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation recently selected the same open source tools from Kaltura for videos on Wikipedia.

"As the leading open source video company our goal is to enable advanced online video functionalities on any device using free and open standards and technologies," Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura’s chairman & CEO, said in a company statement.

"Our mission is even more so inspiring and impactful where free educational content is also coupled with these tools, as is the case with the Internet Archive and the Wikimedia Foundation who are tearing down walled gardens and democratizing media," Yekutiel added.

The Internet Archive features educational videos in an archive that has over 500,000 items.

Videos on Archive.org are accessible to iPhones, iPads and Android (News - Alert) mobile devices, as well as browsers that support HTML5 – by using the Kaltura HTML5 Video Library.

In addition, videos on Archive.org are accessible to the hearing impaired and multilingual viewers through video subtitles.

The project was introduced at the Open Video Conference held in New York City, which was co-sponsored by Kaltura.

"It was clear to us that we must support both Flash and HTML5 in order to deliver content to all devices," Tracey Jaquith, digital archivist at Internet Archive, explains in a recent statement. "After researching the various technologies and examining what other non-profit leaders are doing we decided to leverage Kaltura's HTML5 Video Library, which has proven to be the most robust, flexible, and open solution."

In other recent company news, Fox Digital Media, a unit of Fox Networks Group (FNG), selected Kaltura to power a centralized video asset management platform for distribution of Fox’s digital assets, according to a report from TMCnet.

Nearly all of FNG’s divisions, such as Fox Broadcasting Company and Fox Sports, and SPEED, FX, Fuel TV, and Big Ten Network, will use the Kaltura solution, TMCnet adds.
