COMPANY PROFILES
In our second section, we wanted to determine which respondents
were employed by companies that delivered video online, and then
gauge their assessment of HVS functionality and benefits.
As stated in the introductory section, almost 77% of all
respondents said they worked for a company that delivered online
video. Digging further into that question, we then asked survey
takers to tell us which kinds of media their company primarily
delivers online. [Chart 1]

Astute readers will note that we split out Google AdWords and
YouTube into a separate grouping of advertisements. We did so
because a statistically significant number of responses used these
two similar groups of advertising revenue models to define their
monetization. This may be due to the ease and convenience of
adding AdWords to a site or YouTube channel, and convenience
is often key to enticing content owners to share their content in a
public hosted video platform.
We also asked whether respondents used multiple hosted
video solutions providers. Almost one-third said they use more
than one provider, with 68% claiming they only use one solutions
provider.
Finally, we asked respondents to highlight any limitations they
face in choosing HVS to publish and monetize their online video
content delivery. [Chart 6]
CONCLUSION
This report, written by the author in conjunction with
Streaming Media magazine, Unisphere, and the reports sponsor,
Brightcove, highlights a number of key findings.
On a personal consumption level, many of the responses to
this survey are aligned with responses weve received in earlier
surveys conducted by Unisphere and Transitions in 2014.
One trend, which is spelled out in Appendix A, is the
identification of the operating system used by survey respondents.
The trend toward Apple devices when it comes to primary media
consumption devices was quite pronounced, and it is consistent
with findings from third-party surveys that show a decline in
Android usage in North America and, to a lesser extent, Europe.
Second, on a professional level, survey respondents tend to
work for companies that either deliver less than 100,000 or more
than unique streams of online content per month. The chasm
between these two camps, especially pronounced between 250,000

The pie chart, above, shows that laptops are still the most
dominant form-factor for primary online media consumption,
and the combination of desktops and laptops still make up a
majority (55%) of primary media consumption for our survey
takers. Tablets and television were neck and neck, with tablets
(17%) barely squeaking by television (17%) in a photo finish.
Smartphones came in at a respectable level (10%).
Drilling down, we analyzed respondents answers around
their television consumption patterns, to better understand how
online streams are consumed on the biggest screen, be it via smart
television, streaming dongles, or set-top boxes.
Responses for primary consumption of online video streams
on a television, from highest to lowest number of responses: OTT
boxes (Apple, Roku, etc.), Smart Televisions, streaming dongles
(Chromecast, FireTV Stick, etc.), and gaming consoles.
The second question asked respondents to report which
operating system they used to primarily consume content on the
screen chosen in question one. [Chart 9]
Apples Mac OS X, its desktop and laptop operating system,
combined with its mobile-centric iOS operating system,
accounted for a large share (45%) of media consumption

The chart only tells half the story, though. We provided three
choices for this question: live, time-shifted, or both. The both
choice was the majority choice (51%) while live-only answers
were the lowest (9%). Time-shifted-only viewing (40%) came
in at a higher rate than in previous surveys, meaning that the
