Reference excerpt

SeaChange International, Inc. is a global, public supplier of video delivery software, providing video streaming as well as linear TV and video advertising technology for operators, content owners, and broadcasters.

History SeaChange was founded in January 1993 by Bill Styslinger. In 1996, the company became listed at NASDAQ. In April 2005, SeaChange bought the international assets of Liberate Technologies. In September 2005, SeaChange acquired UK-based On-Demand Group (ODG). In November 2008, SeaChange acquired Mobix Interactive, also from the UK. In September 2009, SeaChange bought eventIS, based in the Netherlands. In January 2010, SeaChange acquired Silicon Valley start-up VividLogic. In June 2012, SeaChange obtained the assets of Flashlight Engineering and Consulting. As part of a strategy to become a "pure-play software provider,” SeaChange did two divestitures: in May 2012, it sold ODG to Avail-TVN and its server hardware business spun out to XOR Media that same month. In 2014 SeaChange acquired Timeline Labs, a start-up that makes tools for broadcasters and video service providers for audience measurement via social media. SeaChange appointed Ed Terino as their new CEO in 2016, who stepped down on 24 February 2019 amid a conflict with the largest shareholder. On 27 September 2021, Peter D. Aquino was appointed as CEO. In 2024, almost three years after reporting wanting to merge with TrillerNet, it was announced that it could be acquired by the Montreal-headquartered enterprise software company, PartnerOne for $30 million. However, on May 9, 2024, Enghouse Systems Ltd. announced that it had completed the purchase of all of the company's assets for approximately $23 million.

Awards SeaChange has won awards, including three Emmy Awards in the category of Technology & Engineering:

2001: Emmy Awards for "Pioneering developments in shared video-data-storage systems technology" with the MediaCluster video server 2003: Emmy Award for "Time-Shifted Television" software suite 2013: Emmy Award for the "Development and Commercialisation for Digital Infrastructure for Local Cable Ad Insertion"

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with SeaChange International

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what SeaChange International claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to SeaChange International before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about SeaChange International ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of SeaChange International

In research: SeaChange International appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses SeaChange International in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: SeaChange International is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2024 mergers and acquisitions, Companies established in 1993, Companies listed on the Nasdaq, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for SeaChange International outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
