NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 25, 2008) - Kaltura Inc. (www.kaltura.com) announced today that it has been selected by Dori Media Group ("Dori Media" or "DMG"), the international media company active in the field of television, with a focus on production, distribution, broadcasting and merchandising of Telenovela, to power Novebox.com, the world's first online community dedicated specifically to Telenovela. Novebox also features the new Telenovela, "Amanda O," produced specially for the site.

"In order to launch Novebox and 'Amanda O,' we needed a reliable video platform with interactive capabilities including uploading, remixing, and video management in addition to social network-related features like moderation, rating, multi-lingual support and user-related permissions," said Ehud Levy, CEO of Dori Media Web.

Kaltura worked with Dori Media to create custom video applications to fit their specific needs, based on the Kaltura open source framework. Using Kaltura's open source video platform for video management, creation, interaction, and collaboration, fans can share and interact in rich-media, watch episodes of "Amanda O," and even remix their own episodes -- by mashing up scenes, adding media and choosing alternative endings. During the first stage of its release, "Amanda O" will be made available to viewers in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay with other countries to follow.

"It's a real honor to be working with one of the world's largest companies for telenovelas. Dori Media is proving to be a pioneer in its space with their revolutionary concept of an online, interactive show. This is the perfect example of a traditional media company leveraging the Internet to enhance user engagement," said Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura Chairman and CEO. "Kaltura's extensive and flexible video platform is a perfect solution for any site -- large or small. Moreover, in the current economic climate our open source framework and distribution strategy are ideal for spurring innovation, maximizing penetration, and providing best of breed solutions at a fraction of the price of proprietary platforms."
