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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />
