Winnov Launches New Cbox Video Capture and Streaming Platform that Evolves with Customers' Needs
The innovative hardware and software technology solution greatly reduces cost of ownership with unprecedented flexibility that adapts to meet the changing needs of each unique deployment
ORLANDO, Fla., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At InfoComm 2015, Winnov introduces its new family of Cbox video capture and streaming solutions that evolve with customer needs and deployment requirements in higher education, enterprise communications, and related vertical markets. Built on an agile platform with internet-centric software development down to the programmable AV processing chip, Winnov Cbox solutions provide organizations with a cost-effective way to easily capture and share rich media experiences.
"The 'one-size-fits-all' solutions that typify the presentation and lecture capture industry fail to adequately address the individual needs of each customer," said Olivier Garbe, CEO of Winnov.
"Four years ago, it became clear that the lecture capture industry was evolving due to the rapid transformation of internet and video technologies. After introducing the most flexible and powerful, multi-source capture solution to date, we began developing a unique platform that could expand and change along with each customer's technology requirements. Applying the Virtual Machine (VM) concept to our presentation and lecture capture solutions, one Cbox can replace capture appliances in up to five classrooms - maximizing recording efficiency and the value of the investment."
Winnov is focused on reducing the cost of ownership and future-proofing customers based on three key components:
1. Scalable and powerful solutions that can expand as customer needs evolve
2. An easy-to-use interface that allows any users to centrally monitor,
manage, and automate recording and streaming across their network
3. Open architecture that enables easy integration of existing and future
applications from Winnov and its partners.
With a much smaller footprint than traditional hardware video capture and streaming solutions, Cbox S3 boasts the most powerful capabilities in the smallest volume and lowest power consumption. Unlike basic presentation recorders, Cbox S3 supports many connectivity options and agile software, allowing integration with a wide range of audio and video equipment and devices to capture immersive multi-source experiences or lectures and presentations across multiple rooms simultaneously - all from a single Cbox.
As room recording activities increase, Cbox Command Center makes it simple to remotely monitor and control rooms from desktops or mobile devices. Live previews of AV equipment and devices, room status, content quality and notifications provide users with a real-time overview of their deployments.
Thanks to Winnov's open architecture and APIs, Cbox Command Center provides easy integration with existing content management solutions, whether they are "home grown" or third party, as well as all control and scheduling management solutions that already exist within organizations - enabling customers to choose the solutions that best suit their needs and budgets.
"We understand that our customers must get maximum value from every dollar spent on technology," said Garbe. "For this reason, we've designed the new Cbox platform to not only accommodate increasing capacity demands, but also to allow customers the flexibility to utilize unique applications from other sources. It's a revolutionary approach that I believe customers will appreciate and truly sets us apart. It is just another example of how Winnov constantly raises the bar with transformative ideas and solid engineering."
Visit Winnov at InfoComm Booth #1401 for a demonstration of the new Cbox S3 and Cbox Command Center. The portable Cbox P3 event capture and streaming solution will be shown at partner Panasonic Booth #1501.
About Winnov
Winnov is a technology leader in webcasting and lecture capture solutions and maker of the Cbox - the only platform that evolves with customer needs. Cbox enables anyone to create studio-grade productions and capture & stream unmatched rich media experiences for any device. Fortune 500 companies, leading universities, and government agencies rely on Cbox to capture and produce the most engaging live and on-demand video experiences.
Panasonic's 2015 Line-Up of 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs Receives "Netflix Recommended" Designation
Nine Models Considered "Best Smart TV Experience" Under World's Leading Television Network Designation Program
NEWARK, N.J., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic, a global leader in 4K Ultra HD technology announced today that its full line of 2015 4K UHD Smart TVs have been recognized by Netflix, Inc. with its new "Netflix Recommended TV" designation which highlights TVs which provide consumers with the best Smart TV experiences. Panasonic's CX850, CX800, CX650, and CX600 Series of 2015 4K Ultra HDTVs all received the "Netflix Recommended" designation -- a total of nine models ranging from 50-inch to 65-inch class screen sizes.
Netflix, the world's leading Internet television network, created the "Netflix Recommended TV" program, a rigorous Smart TV evaluation program, to help consumers identify televisions built to deliver a superior Internet TV experience. Among other performance criteria, the program recognized Panasonic's 2015 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs for:
-- Enabling TV turn-on and launch of Netflix via one press of the Netflix
button on the TV remote.
-- Quick resume of apps and a return to where the user last left off.
-- Firefox OS interface on Panasonic's 2015 TVs which enables easy
navigation and switching between apps and inputs.
Panasonic unveiled its 2015 lineup of next-generation 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The latest additions to Panasonic's rich heritage of critically-acclaimed TVs dramatically expands the range of Panasonic's 4K Ultra HD TV models and offers enhanced Smart TV features for further-simplified, intuitive operation.
Enhanced Smart TV Features
Panasonic's 2015 Smart TVs are equipped with cutting-edge features designed to deliver access to the user's favorite content easily without having to perform complex setting procedures or refer to a manual.
Powered by Firefox OS -- Through Panasonic's collaboration with Mozilla on the 2015 4K UHD Smart TVs powered by Firefox OS, Panasonic's TV GUI has advanced significantly from last year making it even easier for users to access quickly the content they want -- live TV, devices, and applications from a single gateway. It is also customizable by using the "Pin" function, which allows users to bookmark their favorite channels, devices, apps, web pages for quick access. Firefox OS also offers improved connectivity due to the use of open Web standards and greater flexibility for developers through WebAPIs that enable connected experiences across platforms.
Voice Assistant -- Panasonic's flagship CX850 Series features exclusively a new advanced Voice Command feature -- Voice Assistant Pro* -- which performs voice commands spoken directly to the TV without using a remote control. It is capable of performing various operations according to voice commands, such as changing channels and searching for content. All 2015 Panasonic 4K UHDTVs feature Voice Assistant which enables the user to change channels and search for desired content by simply speaking into the TV's Touch Pad Remote or TV Remote App on their Smartphone.
* Supported only by the CX850 Series.
Superior Picture Quality
Panasonic's next-generation 4K Ultra HD TV models deliver display panels with improved brightness and a wider color gamut. A significantly widened color reproduction range achieves rich color expression and the improved brightness performance displays brighter, more vivid images. Local Dimming technology achieves deeper black expression and smooth, detailed gradation.

LG Electronics Unveils World's Narrowest Video Wall Display At InfoComm 2015
Video Wall Boasts Super-Slim Bezel Size of 1.8 mm, Joins High-Performance Ultra HD Monitors, Outdoor Displays, Pro-Grade Digital Signage
ORLANDO, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA today unveiled an all-new Full HD Video Wall display with the world's slimmest bezel to bezel design - 1.8 millimeters. Introduced at InfoComm 2015, which starts here today, the VH7B Direct Backlit LED Display is redefining the video wall category with its unprecedented thin bezel, and features distinct new innovations that address the largest issues video wall customers face today.
Available in the United States this fall in 49- and 55-inch class sizes (48.5- and 54.6-inches measured diagonally), the VH7B is the first video wall display to feature an unprecedented bezel-to-bezel measurement of about 1/16th of an inch, allowing displays to be connected seamlessly with others. This creates a powerful, impactful video wall that becomes less a collection of panels and more a cohesive, continuous image for a much more engaging, immersive viewer experience. LG's included software allows the displays to be arranged in up to a 15 x 15 matrix, while installation options become nearly limitless when married with third-party hardware/software signage solutions.
The image is unrivaled when combined with the significant improvements LG achieved in maintaining the brightness uniformity across the screens, keeping the edges as bright as the center. To address the challenges of matching color and brightness across all panels, LG has incorporated factory calibration and efficient calibration tools that allow integrators to achieve an optimal image within 3-5 minutes per panel.
"LG is yet again raising the bar for video displays with the launch of the VH7B," said Clark Brown, digital signage vice president for LG Electronics USA. "Our commitment to delivering innovations for better business, such as this exciting new product, communicates loud and clear that LG is the only partner customers should be considering for their display solutions."
The groundbreaking video wall display features LG's "webOS for Signage" smart platform, which takes advantage of the built-in high-performance system-on-a-chip (SoC) that eliminates the need for an external media player, helping to reduce the total cost of ownership. LG's webOS for Signage enables a variety of web-based applications across multiple platforms, as well as the ability to write applications using HTML 5. The new VH7B series also includes several new features and improvements in design, including its light weigh (20KG) and slim depth (87mm), to allow for easier installation and maintenance of the product.
In addition to the new VH7B video wall, LG's 2015 InfoComm booth (#1529) features interactive demonstrations of a range of key LG products and solutions, including the benefits of its In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel technology. IPS panels minimize image distortion at wide angles and provide high picture quality that offers original image color matching. Most importantly, IPS panels create a viewing experience that is watchable at virtually any angle.
Solutions for a Breadth of Applications
At InfoComm 2015, LG is exhibiting a wide array of cutting-edge solutions, including new Ultra HD monitors, pro-grade digital signage and outdoor displays - all designed to deliver exceptional picture quality and energy efficiency.
-- Ultra HD Signage Displays. LG's new UH5B 4K Ultra HD Display series
leads the company's 2015 commercial-grade Ultra HD digital signage
lineup, delivering superior 3840 X 2160 resolution in a 16:9 aspect
ratio. These giant edge-lit LED displays offer an attractive alternative
to traditional tiled video walls. The new UH5B is available in three
screen sizes, ranging from 49- to 65-inch class size (49.0- to
64.53-inches diagonally), and features a sleek, industrial design, a
slim depth of 38.6 mm and a bezel width (at its thinnest point) of 11.9
mm. The new series also features conformal coating, a clear,
non-conductive coating that is applied to the circuit boards to help
protect the internal circuits from harsh environmental factors such as
dust, humidity and grease, prevalent in QSR settings and transportation
stations. The display is equipped with built in Wi-Fi and LG's webOS for
Signage platform, which allows software developers to install and run
their software in a more simplified solution. Using LG's Software
Development Kit, integrators can construct their own ideal customized
signage solution for their clients.
-- Digital Signage Monitors. LG's SM5B series with webOS for Signage
redefines digital signage, with a narrow bezel width, flexible content
management features, and lower energy consumption. The new SM5B series
is available in five screen sizes, ranging from 32- to 65-inch class
(32.55- to 64.53-inches diagonally), and possesses a bezel width of just
11.9 mm, as well as conformal coating. LG's new series offers the
ability to control the signage monitors and distribute content through
Wi-Fi by providing two USB ports, one for a USB dongle control and one
for content distribution. The display is also equipped with LG's webOS
for Signage platform for content management and development. The series
supports third-party device management through Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) standards, allowing businesses to receive notifications
and control the monitors remotely. The series also includes upgraded
features, including a detachable logo and cable management for a clean
and flawless installation in either portrait or landscape mode.
-- Outdoor Signage Monitors. The 55-inch class (54.64-inches diagonally) LG
XS2B Outdoor Display features technologies that make it a well-suited
solution for delivering messages in outdoor spaces. LG's In Plane
Switching (IPS) panel technology helps ensure accurate color saturation
and contrast at wide-angle viewing. LG's unique display technology also
provides a temperature tolerance of up to 230° Fahrenheit (110°
Celsius), which helps alleviate a common problem of screens overheating,
affecting picture quality. Even in direct sunlight, LG's outdoor signage
monitors are virtually free of blackening defects, thanks to IPS
technology. Unlike conventional panels, the XS2B features LG's Shine
Out(TM) technology, which is designed to deflect ambient light, helping
to avoid color wash out or lackluster images. Shine Out and the
display's brightness level of 2,500 cd/m(2), combine to produce content
that looks great even in environments with abundant natural light.
Building on this feature, the LCD display employs full LED backlighting
technology, helping it produce exceptional Full HD 1080p picture quality
and ensuring content is relayed crisply.
-- Full HD Displays. LG's LS75A Full HD Displays with webOS for Signage
feature a slim bezel that measures 7.4mm, contributing to a sleek and
stylish design. Each model also comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and Open
Pluggable Specification (OPS) compatibility. Viewing is available in
either landscape or portrait, and the 49-inch class (49.0-inches
diagonally) and 55-inch class (54.64-inches diagonally) LS75A series
models feature conformal coating and IP5X Dust-Proof certification,
which provides protection against contaminants and dust for better
performance and less heat generation. The display allows for simple
content development and management thanks to the webOS for Signage
platform, and is also equipped with Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), which allows the TV to automatically configure a self-diagnosis
to check the screen status with a pixel sensor. These features were
designed to shorten integration time, reduce maintenance of the displays
and allow business owners to focus on what is important for them, their
customers.
EcoSmart Features, Flexible Options
LG Full HD LED signage displays are ENERGY STAR(®) certified and incorporate LG's EcoSmart features, which allows for multiple manual and automatic options for energy conservation, providing an ideal solution for corporate and lodging environments looking to save on energy costs. EcoSmart includes the following energy saving features:
-- Dynamic Power Savings, which reduces power consumption and optimizes
picture settings,
-- Static Power Savings, which allows the installer to set the preferred
power consumption level, and
-- Intelligent Sensor, which allows integrators to program the display to
respond to the ambient light in the room and automatically reduce
brightness and energy output under most circumstances.
Further demonstrating LG's commitment to energy savings and efficiency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named LG 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award, the program's highest distinction. LG also earned the 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Climate Communications Award for its exemplary efforts to raise awareness about energy conservation to help fight climate change.

Fonesalesman Presents Wireless Charging to the LG G4 With G4 SlimPWRpatch
LONDON, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Fonesalesman brings the most convenient charging solution for LG G4 with
Pre-orders starting today
Fonesalesman, leading innovators of wireless charging for consumers, have launched
their new product targeting the oversight by LG who has removed built-in wireless charging
in their latest G4 flagship. With the G4 SlimPWRpatch, LG G4 users will get an opportunity
to experience Wireless Charging on their phone.
Wireless Charging is a smart and convenient way to power your device. This technology
enables users to quickly and easily drop their phone to charge, then simply pick it up and
go. Reliance on cords and wire-mess is replaced by effortless experience.
Fonesalesman utilises Qi, an interface standard for Wireless Charging developed by the
Wireless Power Consortium. It is supported by countless phone manufacturers such as
Samsung, LG, Asus, Sony, and others. Fonesalesman also provides a number of accessories to
enable Wireless Charging on devices that do not have the technology built-in.
The thin and light G4 SlimPWRpatch can be installed on the LG G4 back cover, including
the popular leather models, to unleash the full potential of LG G4 by enabling the phone
with Wireless Charging functionality.
LG provides an option of purchasing a separate Wireless Charging Circle Case, but with
Fonesalesman's solution, customers will not have to choose between using their favourite
cover and having essential charging functionality.
With Wireless Charging installed on their phone, customers will be able to charge LG
G4 effortlessly at all the participating retailers, including McDonald's, International
Airports, Marriott Hotels, and many others. Fonesalesman provides a compelling personal
experience with their beautiful and powerful Wireless Chargers, available to purchase
online.
Thanks to the G4 SlimPWRpatch, you can now team up your LG G4 with Fonesalesman's
QiStone+, The Completely Wireless Mobile Battery, and Nature-Infused charger WoodPuck:
Bamboo Edition.
WoodPuck: Bamboo Edition charging pad presents the perfect marriage between nature,
technology, practicality and beauty. WoodPuck is hand-finished using Mao Zhu Bamboo, which
exceeds the qualities of wood. Crafted with all details considered, the WoodPuck blends in
any environment, keeping phones charged. In addition to the classic colour, Fonesalesman
also launches 3 additional bold new expressions of WoodPuck (coming soon).
Bavan Palasanthiran, the Founder of Fonesalesman, comments, "We were disappointed to
find out the LG G4 moved backwards by excluding built-in Wireless Charging in the LG G4
which existed in the G3. We knew this would be a blow to LG users. Therefore, we took it
upon ourselves to bring a solution to market."
The G4 SlimPWRpatch will be released worldwide on 30th June, with Pre-orders starting
today available at Fonesalesman.com and Amazon.
About Fonesalesman
Fonesalesman is determined to make the world without wires a reality for its
customers. They are responsible for the Nature-Infused WoodPuck: Bamboo Edition and the
First Completely Wireless Mobile Battery QiStone+, both of which have received great
praise from consumers and critics alike. They launched an incredibly successful Indiegogo
campaign which introduced iPhone users to Wireless Charging for the first time with iQi
Mobile, surpassing the initial campaign goal by more than 500%.
Belgian label printers deliver striking blow to counterfeiting
Belgian label producer Reynders has teamed up with ScanTrust, based in Lausanne,
Switzerland, to produce a label printing technology that sets new standards in protecting
a product's authenticity and safeguarding customer trust. The solution itself is as
straightforward as it is innovative: a label with a unique code that cannot be copied and
can be verified using a mobile app. Moreover, this industry first turns out to be more
cost-effective than traditional anti-counterfeiting solutions.
What is the protection value of a hologram? A printed code? A fancy or complex label
or sticker? None, if it can be copied, or simply removed to be re-used on counterfeit
products.
Enter Reynders, the Belgian label printer, and ScanTrust, the Swiss secure graphics
provider. In a strategic partnership, they have combined secure QR code technology, label
printing know-how and data management to help consumers identify original products and
brand owners protect authenticity.
Unique identifiers
The secure QR codes fit any label and contain a unique identifier made of pixels that
cannot be copied. The unique identifier does not affect the function of the QR code: you
can scan it with a standard smartphone and be directed to the corresponding unique page
with additional info.
A welcome step forward
With this simple yet revolutionary use of a secure QR code consumers and brand owners
can easily protect themselves against counterfeiting and fraud. Reynders can integrate it
into any existing label production workflow for any product, which makes it both a
scalable and a cost-effective solution.
In a world where brands have to prove they're doing all they can to fight
counterfeiting, this is a welcome step forward.
New marketing opportunities
"Our solution doesn't stop at protecting your product and brand," explains Marc
Reynders, Reynders' CEO, "although that is obviously a - or perhaps the - major benefit
right now."
"Just think of registered users, who can access additional information on your product
after a simple scan. The data you gather as brand owner could provide highly valuable
information on their consumption patterns. You can give them more relevant information
based on their profile and history. With ScanTrust-Reynders, you get plenty of new
marketing and communication possibilities - all on your label."
ScanTrust for labels is premiering in the Benelux, France, Germany and Poland - and is
now available through Reynders.
Reynders
Belgium-based Reynders is a label printing company with over 60 years of experience in
designing and printing labels for a wide range of sectors and products. The company has
dedicated excellence centres and sites in France, Poland, India and the Netherlands.
ScanTrust is a leading provider of secure cloud-based product authentication and
supply chain traceability solutions. By combining industry leading secure 2D barcodes with
a comprehensive software suite, ScanTrust helps brand owners protect against counterfeit
goods, monitor their supply chain and enhance trust. ScanTrust has offices in Lausanne,
Shanghai and Beijing.

Epic Journey with Adorable Heroes and Monsters Coming to PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and PlayStation®Vita Handheld Entertainment System in 2016
LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SQUARE ENIX® today unveiled WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY(TM), expanding the FINAL FANTASY® universe for a new generation of gamers. Players will collect, raise and take into battle the monsters of FINAL FANTASY lore, drawing on a rich history of iconic creatures, from the charming to the ferocious. WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY will be available in 2016 for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita systems.
WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY combines classic RPG gameplay mechanics with fresh and imaginative toy-like visuals. As a brand-new title in the FINAL FANTASY franchise, this game can be enjoyed by both fans and newcomers to the series. Players will lead a pair of twins through varied FINAL FANTASY worlds and encounter the adorably familiar monsters therein. Capture and raise such familiar beasts as cactuar, chocobo, and behemoth to discover alternate forms and learn new abilities.

Build Upons are the latest toy in STEAM learning brought to you by a woman-owned company. Build Upons support learning through play.

"Build Upons, which are LEGO-compatible were created to light up your robot, house, spaceship or anything else you can imagine."
The Build Upons system has three types of bricks: an LED brick, a power brick, and a bridge brick. Light the LED bricks by connecting them to a Power Brick - you can design pathways with as many Bridge Bricks as you need for ultimate flexibility. Build Upons LED bricks are based on 1x1 bricks to create elegant designs. You don't need to know electronics to use these bricks, you simply build, just like you've always done and you will learn along the way. Build Upons bring a different solution to the market with ultimate flexibility and are smaller than the other light up bricks on the market.

Polk Audio Reveals New Striker Pro Audiophile Grade Gaming Headset at E3 2015
Universal All-in-One Headset Provides Superior Sound Quality for Console, PC and Mobile Gaming
LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Polk Audio, a high-performance audio brand with over 40 years of sound engineering and design expertise, today announced the debut of its latest gaming headset, Striker Pro, at E3 2015 (Booth 5612). The Striker Pro is fine-tuned with a patented Dynamic Balance® driver design to deliver the most realistic and balanced audio experience. Striker Pro will be available in an officially licensed Xbox One version with a wireless headset adapter as well as a PlayStation 4 compatible version. Both headsets are PC, Mac and mobile (tablet and phone) compatible.
The Striker Pro features a newly designed, flexible, ultra-clear sounding removable omni-directional microphone with push button mute for both console and PC gaming, as well as a small and discrete in-line microphone for mobile use. Striker Pro comes with three detachable cables and two removable microphones giving gamers one great-sounding headset for all their gaming needs. Anew leather-wrapped spring steel headband and pivoting ear cups provide durability and comfort for long periods of wear.
"What makes the Polk Striker Pro gaming headset unique are the acoustics. As audio specialists who have been making premium audiophile-grade speakers for over 40 years, we understand what it takes to properly voice a headset to ensure it delivers precise, balanced, rich sound for all types of listening," said Michael Greco, Global Brand Director for Polk. "Whether chatting with your friends or listening intently for the footsteps of your enemies, your ears deserve the best sounding headset. With the Striker Pro, gamers do not have to trade universal compatibility and features for superior audio quality."
Striker Pro is unique and versatile in that it allows users to conveniently switch between different gaming modes with its three included detachable cables--all designed to enhance each gaming experience. Cable offerings include:
-- Mobile Connect Cable - a 3.5mm microphone cable with in-line controls
lets users play, pause and make phone calls without having to touch
their device
-- Dual-Jack Console Controller Connect Cable - unlike the standard 3.5mm
cable, this 1.3 meter (4 ft.) custom console cable is designed for
high-fidelity audio to enhance microphone performance and remove
crosstalk. Additionally, both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions
allow for easy access to master volume and microphone mute without
having to use the onscreen menus. The PlayStation 4 in-line also
includes an attenuator to adjust your microphone's gain to ensure it
does not distort during online gaming sessions
-- Dual-Jack, Detachable, Extra-long Pro PC Connect Cable - Polk's very own
3-meter (9.8 ft.) long Pro PC connect cable lowers the noise floor to
eliminate crosstalk and boost microphone clarity for exceptional audio
performance
Both the victory red Striker Pro P1 for PlayStation 4 (MSRP: $129) and dark emerald Striker Pro Zx (MSRP: $149) for Xbox One will be available in September at select retailers and on PolkAudio.com.
The Striker Pro will be on display at Polk's E3 booth, #5612, where product demonstrations and sound engineer interviews are available.

CHONGQING, China, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 15, the signing ceremony for Cybernaut's investment in Witmart, Li Dong (President of Cybernaut) and Zhu Mingyue (Founder and Chairman of Witmart) announced to the media that Cybernaut would invest 1.6 billion yuan in Witmart. Ling Yueming (Member of the Standing Committee of CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Management Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Liangjiang New Area, and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Management Committee of New North Zone) delivered an onsite declaration that a state-owned company under New North Zone would invest another 1 billion yuan in Witmart. The investment is one of the largest among China's Internet service transaction platforms.
At 2 p.m., the signing ceremony for Witmart's financing was held in Chongqing Wudu Hotel, witnessed by leaders of Chongqing including Huang Qifan (Mayor of Chongqing), Li Dong and Zhu Mingyue. The signing declared Cybernaut would invest 1.6 billion yuan in Witmart. According to Li Dong, an Internet enterprise being compatible online and offline had a bright future and Witmart was exactly such an enterprise, which was the reason why it was picked for the investment.
After that, Ling Yueming declared on-site that a state-owned company under New North Zone would invest another 1 billion yuan in Witmart.
At the signing ceremony, Zhu Mingyue also released the zero-commission system which meant that the 20% transaction commission would not be collected by the platform any longer (except for competitive presentation and piecework). Witmart, as China's largest crowdsourcing service transaction platform, cancelled commissions, directly driving China's service transaction industry to enter the era of big data.
The 2.6 billion yuan investment is one of the largest among the Internet service platforms in China and the estimated value of Witmart now exceeds 10 billion yuan.
Crowdsourcing Enjoys Great Popularity and Continuous Investment
Because of the unique charm of crowdsourcing, more and more investors recognize the value of Witmart and thus have made continuing investments in Witmart.
Since 2006 when Witmart first started operations until now, Witmart obtained a 5 million yuan investment in 2007; in 2011, the founding partner of IDG, Xiong Xiaoge, who had long enjoyed a good reputation in the venture investment field, declared a 10 million yuan level investment in Witmart; in 2014, IDG and Cultural Investment Group again invested tens of millions of dollars in Witmart.
Now, with over 13 million creative talents and rapidly-increasing members, Witmart far surpasses other similar websites in the market and becomes the pacemaker in the crowdsourcing sector all over the world. Witmart averages several "demands" every minute and several original manuscripts are produced every second, this also includes at least one from a foreign country every half an hour.
Witmart Ripe for Listing in China
The huge investment totaling 2.6 billion yuan as well as the estimated value exceeding 10 billion yuan directly quickened Witmart's pace of listing.
In 2011, Zhu Mingyue said Witmart would be Nasdaq-listed in case of no unexpected events and set up a branch in Houston, TX, USA. However, along with the resounding success of the crowdsourcing in China, Witmart was not eager for listing at that time and kept breaking through product architecture and upgrading business model.
In 2015, the State Council successively unveiled Opinions on Rapid Development of E-commerce and Rapid Cultivation of New Economic Power and Opinions on Several Policies and Measures of Great Push for Public Pioneering Work and Creation, encouraging conditional Internet enterprises to be listed in China.
