Switchcam provides tools for event organizers and attendees to collect and combine videos from multiple contributors. It has launched an iPhone app that notifies users of nearby events and enables them to join as contributors and upload footage after registering via Facebook. On the organizer side Switchcam Director is a cloud-based dashboard for publicizing events, soliciting submissions, managing uploaded clips, and creating landing pages that highlight selected videos. The company’s technology syncs multiple camera angles and provides seamless transitions so viewers can choose favorite clips rather than relying on a single director. Switchcam has focused heavily on music and concerts, with past clients including Lollapalooza, PBS, and Anheuser Busch, and says it sees broader use across conferences, sports, and meetups. The product was rolling out in public beta at the time of the article, and the company has raised $1.2 million from investors including Mark Cuban, 500 Startups, and Turner Media Camp.
