Intelligent Television
Video for culture & education
Intelligent Television produces innovative films, television, and online video; conducts research in the future of media; and provides strategic planning and consulting services, all in close association with leading cultural and educational institutions and renowned directors and cinematographers — and all to make educational and cultural material more widely accessible worldwide.
Open Video Studio
Intelligent Television has established a new Open Video Studio to cost-effectively produce more video resources for the open education and open content movement. The objectives of the Studio—based in New York but networking educational production facilities across the United States and abroad—are threefold:
* to evaluate the use of video in teaching and learning;
* to catalyze video production for education; and
* to build new tools—editing, annotation, search—for more cost-efficient video production and distribution.

The Library has contracted Intelligent Television to provide strategic planning guidance organizing events for the 2010 public opening of this facility.
