Delve Networks launches its Internet TV and online video publishing platform. In addition to hosting video content, Delve's platform gives content publishers all the necessary tools to upload, manage and track the performance of their online video. With its semantic video web technology and HeatMap interface, Delve becomes the first video platform to enable users to navigate within a hosted video file to find the exact content they want.

Delve processes video through its proprietary semantic layer, which creates a visual map of each video, allowing users to find the exact content they want within a program. The platform supports the H.264 video codec delivering exceptional video quality at low bandwidth rates.

The user-friendly platform design features a number of tools that facilitate efficient use. The platform's interfaces and management tools allow for file uploads, creating video channels and running a variety of usage metrics and analytics. The platform also supports a wide range of advertising units, including the recently ad units standardized by the Internet Advertising Bureau.

The online video industry has seen its popularity skyrocket in the past year. According to comScore U.S. customers watched 11.5 billion online videos in March, up 64 percent from the previous year. By 2013, one billion people will watch videos online, projects ABI research.
