Syndicaster.tv aims to simplify video publishing

Cory Bergman January 23rd, 2008

The company behind ClipSyndicate, the video syndication service used by quite a few TV stations, has launched a new service called Syndicaster.tv. Basically, it translates all the video that’s aired into text. Then you can select clips using the transcript and publish them directly into ClipSyndicate or iTunes (see screen grab here). “Bloomberg has been using it for four months, making 60 to 90 clips a day,” says Critical Media CEO Sean Morgan. Explains TechCrunch, “Since all the video gets translated into text, the broadcasts from each station can be delivered as an RSS feed.” Interesting. The new service will be free for ClipSyndicate content providers.
