MADISON, Wis. — June 19, 2013 — Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader for video content management and webcasting solutions, today announced that its new Mediasite Enterprise Video Platform won a 2013 AV Technology Award.

This third annual awards program through AV Technology Magazine recognizes innovations that benefit end-users, technology managers and facility directors. Mediasite Enterprise Video Platform is named the ‘Best New Rich Media Data Management System.’ Winners were announced at the NewBay Media Awards Ceremony last week at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando, Fla.

“Our community innovates every day — our readers make the connections, think ahead and solve problems,” said Margot Douaihy, AV Technology Magazine editor. “AV system failure is never an option for our community. The 2013 AV Technology Awards Program invests in these tech leaders and acknowledges the manufacturers who keep tech managers’ best interests — and changing needs — in mind.”

Mediasite Enterprise Video Platform, released earlier this year, is the most advanced, open and integrated approach to any campus or enterprise strategy for creating, managing and distributing all video-based content — whether it was generated by Mediasite or another tool. The platform can import any video including Adobe Flash, QuickTime, AVI, Windows media, MPEG4 and others, and transform them into rich video files that are indexed, searchable and secure, with play-back on nearly any device from desktops and tablets to smart phones.
