Broadcast Interactive Media Launches BIMvid App for iOS

Instant Distribution of TV News Video Shot By Mobile Devices

MADISON, WI – Broadcast Interactive Media (BIM), the leading provider of ad optimization and data services platforms for web and mobile publishers, today announced the launch of the BIMvid App, a mobile video manager for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that allows news reporters in the field to upload videos from their mobile devices for quick online publication. Once uploaded, videos can be published, syndicated, and distributed anytime to any device.

The app is immediately available from the Apple App Store and free to download for all current users of BIMvid, Broadcast Interactive Media’s end-to-end video solution for live streaming and on-demand publishing.

“TV stations always want a competitive edge. By using this App, news organizations can get breaking news to market faster than ever before,” says Derek Gebler, BIM’s SVP, Technology.  “With more and more viewers uploading video that can be adapted for spot news reporting, this is a great tool to facilitate that process.”

In addition to the BIMvid App, BIM recently released closed captioning technology for online live-streaming. This innovation enables publishers to comply with recent FCC regulations.
