Digitalsmiths Corporation, the video metadata experts, today announced that for the second consecutive year, it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnHollywood 100 winners. Inclusion in the OnHollywood 100 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing and entrenched Hollywood entertainment.

Digitalsmiths was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz. Digitalsmiths and the OnHollywood 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s fifth annual OnHollywood on September 27th, 2010, at the Entertainment Technology Center @ USC in Los Angeles, CA.

“When you review the OnHollywood 100 class of 2010, you will see that we have come a long way since music sharing sites like Napster and Kazaa began disrupting the entertainment world,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “Now, the entire entertainment world is dependent on the Internet, social networking, and the burgeoning use of the iPhone and Google’s Android smartphone platforms to market, distribute, and share entertainment.”

Digitalsmiths pioneered digital media vision technologies and holds several patents for its breakthrough video search and personalization technologies and unmatched capabilities in the creation, aggregation and distribution of rich metadata for premium digital media content. The DNA-level detail that Digitalsmiths is able to provide, not just by asset or title, but also by individual frame, gives content owners and consumers unmatched access to the content they are looking for.

“Consumer demands and disruptive technology is forcing big changes in Hollywood,” said Ben Weinberger, CEO of Digitalsmiths. “As Hollywood steps into the digital entertainment era, Digitalsmiths is proud to be a pioneering force creating innovative ways to connect consumers with premium video content in the most personalized and relevant manner possible. We are excited to be recognized as an OnHollywood Top 100 company for our second year in a row, and we’re confident we’ll live up to the expectations it sets.”
