Kaltura, a NYC-based video cloud, acquired Newrow, a South Plainfield, New Jersey-based video conferencing and collaboration platform.

The amount of the deal was not disclosed.

Through this acquisition, Kaltura expands its presence in the Video Conferencing and Meeting Solutions markets. The combination of Kaltura and Newrow brings to the market a new meeting experience that can be used for a range of use cases, including town-hall executive communication, internal collaboration, learning and training, external meetings and presentations as well as webinars.

The new Meeting Experience offers a new virtual meeting room, delivered using WebRTC and including a set of real-time interactive features and specialized meeting capabilities.

Meeting hosts control the entire experience with advanced capabilities, such as advanced content management that supports a wide variety of file types, content playlists, attendance and focus indicators, cloud recording, and session statistics and insights. Live session recordings can be enriched, edited, analyzed and then provided as on-demand materials for use across the organization, enhancing the lifetime value of each meeting or training session.
