Hemisphere is a video streaming systems integrator, which has created platforms for companies like NBC, CNN and the US Pentagon.


Relative to its clients, it is a small company, but having started more than ten years ago, it's long on experience.


So why is this seasoned New Zealand based company, risking quarter of a million dollars worth of billable hours on virtualized video company, Linius Technogies (ASX:LNU)?


In this interview with Hemisphere Managing Director, Glyn Beaumont, I explore:


  • Why Hemisphere has created a ‘plug and play’ Search and Assembly Application based around Linius' virtualized video technology.

  • Why, after eleven years in streaming video business, Linius technology is the first new thing to come along.

  • How he believes his company can recoup its investment in six months.

It should come as no surprise that knowing how, when, and if, disruptive technology is going to work, is something that's impossible to predict.


True disruptive technology means a completely new approach, and that makes investing in it, even trickier.


I recently interviewed the CEO of Titomic (ASX:TTT) and he explained what he calls "the valley of death". The time in any disruptive technology's evolution, where, because your technology is so new, getting someone to bite the bullet and make a substantial commitment to use it, can take a lot longer than you think.


It can even, and often, mean throwing out your original business development model and starting a fresh.


So the key then become survival, timing, and a little bit of luck.


This is what makes Linius Technologies latest deal, with the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), so interesting.


According to Chris Richardson, CEO of Linius (ASX: LNU), the virtualised video technology company is at a tipping point, and the Indonesian deal, is just the beginning.


I spoke with him about the deal and why he believes it holds so much promise.

In today's Sunday Chat we catch up with Linius Technologies (ASX:LNU) CEO, Chris Richardson, to discuss the financial state of Linius, how it will navigate its way through the rest of 2019, and uncover more about adstreaming.


We normally wouldn't make as frequent a contact with a company as we have recently with Linius, but they keep making noteworthy announcements regarding their cloud-based, hyper-personalized Video Virtualization Engineâ„¢ (VVE).


From a journalistic point of they are hard to ignore and as a shareholder it's always good to find out more.


This week saw Linius announce a public demonstration of the blockchain version of their technology, for March 20th and, they recently announced their engagement with developer communities, is finally paying off.


New Zealand based video solutions company Hemisphere, apparently approached Linius and offered to build a Hyper-Personalized Advertising Prototype on its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, Linius Video Services (LVS).
