A Message From <strong>Ooyala</strong><br />

<strong>2012</strong> was another historic year <strong>in</strong> onl<strong>in</strong>e television.<br />

The world watched a man jump to the Earth from outer space, the London<br />

Olympics broke onl<strong>in</strong>e records, and the first video to hit a billion views<br />

on YouTube taught us all how to dance “Gangnam Style.”<br />

Live stream<strong>in</strong>g for major sport<strong>in</strong>g, political, and music events became the<br />

norm, as people tuned <strong>in</strong> to Wimbledon, the Tour de France, and the U.S.<br />

Presidential debates onl<strong>in</strong>e. Throngs of connected viewers also watched<br />

the monumental “12.12.12” Benefit for Hurricane Sandy Relief.<br />

Tablet TV cont<strong>in</strong>ued to surge as mobile, social and video converged on<br />

a grow<strong>in</strong>g number of smart screens built for personal media consumption.<br />

Data from this report reveals the share of tablet video view<strong>in</strong>g more than<br />

doubled last year.<br />

People streamed more movies and TV shows through game consoles than ever<br />

before. Microsoft reported that Xbox users spend more time watch<strong>in</strong>g video<br />

than play<strong>in</strong>g games on the device. New f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> this <strong>Video</strong> <strong>Index</strong> show how<br />

view<strong>in</strong>g patterns on gam<strong>in</strong>g systems and Smart TVs change seasonally.<br />

Onl<strong>in</strong>e video revenue <strong>in</strong>creased along with viewer engagement <strong>in</strong> the last<br />

four quarters. <strong>Video</strong> ads were the fastest-grow<strong>in</strong>g category of onl<strong>in</strong>e<br />

advertis<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>2012</strong>, with U.S. ad spend <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g 46 percent to<br />

$2.9 billion*. While that’s still a far cry from traditional TV ad budgets,<br />

marketers and brands cont<strong>in</strong>ue to move aggressively <strong>in</strong>to the onl<strong>in</strong>e video<br />

space. Expect even more of this growth <strong>in</strong> the com<strong>in</strong>g year as audience<br />

<strong>in</strong>sights become more sophisticated and f<strong>in</strong>ancial returns more apparent.<br />

*Source: eMarketer September <strong>2012</strong><br />

<strong>Ooyala</strong> was founded five years ago to help media companies, marketers,<br />

brands and TV networks earn more money from onl<strong>in</strong>e media and connect<br />

with their viewers around the world. Driven by a vision of personalized media,<br />

simplified discovery, advanced social shar<strong>in</strong>g, and robust analytics, <strong>Ooyala</strong><br />

is committed to keep<strong>in</strong>g our customers ahead of the technology curve.<br />

There’s still a lot of work to do. The <strong>in</strong>dustry has yet to agree on standards<br />

for onl<strong>in</strong>e video ad measurement, mak<strong>in</strong>g it difficult to demonstrate the<br />

efficacy of paid stream<strong>in</strong>g content. Network speeds and data-caps also create<br />

<strong>in</strong>stitutional barriers between viewers and videos. In order for “onl<strong>in</strong>e video”<br />

to fully transition to “onl<strong>in</strong>e television,” media and technology companies<br />

must work together to f<strong>in</strong>d common ground <strong>in</strong> this new media landscape.<br />

As always, thanks for watch<strong>in</strong>g!<br />

DATA SOURCES & SAMPLE SIZE<br />

The data sample used <strong>in</strong> this report covers <strong>2012</strong>, from January 1 through December 31. All data was<br />

taken from an anonymous cross-section of <strong>Ooyala</strong>’s global customer and partner database—an array<br />

of broadcasters, studios, cable operators, pr<strong>in</strong>t publications, onl<strong>in</strong>e media companies and consumer<br />

brands.<br />

These firms broadcast video to over 130 different countries from more than 6,000 unique doma<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

Nearly 200 million unique viewers watch an <strong>Ooyala</strong>-powered video every month.<br />

This data sample is not <strong>in</strong>tended to represent the entire Internet, or all onl<strong>in</strong>e video viewers.<br />

DATA COLLECTION<br />

<strong>Ooyala</strong>’s video analytics technology collects all anonymized video data <strong>in</strong> real time.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g playback, <strong>Ooyala</strong>’s video player gathers <strong>in</strong>formation cont<strong>in</strong>uously and relays it to an analytics<br />

module, which then stores the data <strong>in</strong> a distributed file system, Hadoop.<br />

Viewer statistics are then compiled and stored <strong>in</strong> a Cassandra data cluster, where the <strong>in</strong>formation is<br />

made readily available for analysis.<br />

ANALYSIS & METRICS<br />

<strong>Ooyala</strong>’s video analytics module tracks a range of standard variables, such as:<br />

Displays, plays and time watched<br />

Viewer engagement and video completion rates<br />

Shar<strong>in</strong>g by social network<br />

Geography (region, state, city, Designated Market<strong>in</strong>g Areas)<br />

Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet, connected TV devices and game consoles)<br />

Operat<strong>in</strong>g system (W<strong>in</strong>dows, Android, iOS)<br />

Browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer)<br />

gloSSary<br />

CONVERSION RATE:<br />

The ratio of plays to displays. 10 displays with 1 play is a conversion rate of 10%.<br />

COMPLETION RATE:<br />

The rate at which viewers watch a specified portion of a given video. Sometimes used <strong>in</strong>terchangeably with<br />

“play-through rate.”<br />

DISPLAY:<br />

Each (and any) time a video is loaded <strong>in</strong> a browser and displayed to the viewer<br />

MOBILE DEVICES:<br />

All smart phones, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g iOS, Android, Blackberry, and others.<br />

VIDEO PLAY:<br />

Each time a video starts play<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

CONNECTED TV DEVICES & GAMING CONSOLES:<br />

Set-top boxes and OTT devices, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Wii, Playstation, Boxee, Roku, Xbox and Google TV.<br />

TABLETS:<br />

All media tablets, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g iOS and Android.<br />

diSclaimerS & aSSumptionS<br />

Data is not aggregated across all videos or providers for vertical data, and only publishers with a mean<strong>in</strong>gful<br />

amount of videos watched are <strong>in</strong>cluded. Publishers with <strong>in</strong>complete data for <strong>2012</strong> have been excluded.<br />

When select<strong>in</strong>g items for <strong>in</strong>clusion <strong>in</strong> the report, <strong>Ooyala</strong>’s data science team selected metrics that were clear<br />

and mean<strong>in</strong>gful. Granular measures were broken down along many categories, which resulted <strong>in</strong> a large<br />

amount of data. Rather than report<strong>in</strong>g all of this data, the <strong>Ooyala</strong> team chose to highlight those measures that<br />

give a good impression for the data set as a whole.<br />
