Quintura and blinkx to Visualize Video Search

"Quintura, the visual search engine, has teamed up with blinkx to visualize video search.

blinkx, the largest video search engine on the Web, today announced that Quintura, a visual discovery engine dedicated to finding web-based entertainment easier and more intuitive, will use blinkx to power video search on http://www.Quintura.com.

Quintura employs a unique graphical user interface with an interactive tag cloud to visually navigate and easily refine searches. Quintura’s neural networking technology discovers related search terms to the initial query and presents those terms as the interactive tag cloud. Users can then refine or narrow down their searches by clicking on any word or phrase in the cloud.

Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will power a video search functionality on http://www.Quintura.com, allowing Quintura to leverage results from blinkx’s index of over 7 million hours of rich media content.

“blinkx’s large video index is a perfect compliment to our graphical user interface,” said Yakov Sadchikov, CEO and Founder of Quintura. “As the Web becomes more visual and rich with content, people are looking for better ways to find video online. blinkx’s video search index combined with Quintura’s visual discovery engine provides users with a unique search experience. This new service has become possible due to technology innovations of our companies in visualizing search and indexing online video.”

“We are excited to be powering video search for Quintura,” said Suranga Chandratillake, CTO and Founder of blinkx. “Through blinkx’s advanced speech recognition technology, we are able to deliver better results than typical rich media search engines, giving Quintura users the ability to find, experience and share all forms of online video.”
