History

2001-2003: Founding and incorporation

In 2001, Gremlin Interactive founder Ian Stewart led a merger of Kazoo3D plc and ZOO Media Corporation Ltd to form ZOO Digital Group PLC.[2] In 2003, two co-divisions were formed. ZOOtech Ltd was established to develop software for interactive DVDs. An operating division of the group, trading as ZOO Digital Publishing was established to create video games.[3]

2003-2005: Success with interactive video games and software for DVD

In 2003, ZOO Digital Publishing published the interactive DVD for the game show, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.[4][5][6] In the same year, ZOO Digital Publishing won the award for Navigation Design and Implementation Excellence at the DVD Association Excellence Awards, New York.

In 2004, ZOOtech launched DVD EXTRA Studio enabling new levels of interactivity on DVDs.[7][8] ZOOtech also opened an office in Paris in order to give the business a base for expanding DVD EXTRA applications for European markets. In the same year, ZOO Digital Publishing released ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ 2nd Edition for Game Boy Advance.[9] In 2004, for a second year, the company won the Navigation Design and Implementation Excellence, DVD Association Excellence Awards, New York.[10] ZOOtech was also crowned the overall winner at the Sheffield Business Awards and also picked up the Sheffield Business Award for Innovation.[11][12]

In the same year ZOO Digital Publishing bought Hothouse Creations, a computer games developer based in Bristol which had developed computer and video games including Who Wants To Be Millionaire on PlayStation 1 and Pop Idol and American Idol on PlayStation 2.[13][14][15]

In 2005, 60% of the interactive DVDs on the market were being made using ZOOtech's DVD Extra Studio.[16] In the same year, ZOO Digital Publishing won three awards at the DVD Association Excellence Awards ceremony in New York City: 'Guinness World Records 2005' won the DVD Video Game Excellence Award, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 2nd Edition' won the Navigation Design and Implementation Excellence Award and 'Manchester United, The Official Interactive-DVD' won the Technical Achievement Excellence Award.[10]

2006 - 2012: Refocus on technology for media and entertainment

In 2006, Dr Stuart Green took over as Chief Executive Officer of ZOO Digital Group and Ian Stewart stepped down. ZOO Digital Group sold two of its subsidiaries. ZOO Digital Publishing, the division creating video games was sold following a decline in the traditional DVD market. ZOO Interactive Video, also formerly part of ZOO Digital Publishing, was sold.[17][18][19] The company adopted the operating name ZOO Digital. In the same year, ZOOtech won the Annual DVDA Excellence Award at Digital Hollywood for DVD EXTRA Studio.[20]

In 2007, ZOO Digital acquired Los Angeles-based Scope Seven, a media production and design company providing compression and authoring services to video publishers including a number of Hollywood studios.[21][22] ZOOtech announced a deal with Mattel Inc. (MAT) to develop DVD games, including the High School Musical 2 DVD Board Game and 1 vs. 100 DVD Game.[23][24][25]

In 2008, ZOO Digital announced a 15-year contract with Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures International to deliver its software automation products to DVD film releases. Sony Pictures Entertainment also licensed ZOO's Templated Authoring System (“TAS”) in order to produce standard definition DVD titles.[22][26]

In 2010, ZOO Digital's new iTunes toolset was adopted by a major Hollywood studio. The iTunes toolkit was designed to automate the production of menus and bonus features.[27] In the same year, Multi Packaging Solutions (MPS) partnered with ZOO Digital to use its software for managing brand identity and marketing for multinational brands. ZOO Digital's {{not a typo|artworking}} software was designed to integrate "language translation, localization, proofing, global collaboration, version control, and archiving."[28]

In 2011, the decline in the DVD market saw ZOO Digital report a half-year loss.[29]

2012 – present: Cloud localization services

In 2012, ZOO Digital launched cloud subtitling services for TV and movie content with ZOOsubs.[30] 2014 saw ZOO announced by Apple as one of four vendors selected to provide new iTunes packaging services to its Compressor users.[31][32] 2015 saw ZOO sign a deal with BBC Worldwide to provide it with a new subtitling and captioning platform.[33] In 2016, ZOO became a Netflix Preferred Vendor; this changed to a Netflix Preferred Fulfilment Partner in 2018.

In 2017, ZOO launched the entertainment industry's first cloud dubbing service, powered by its proprietary ZOOdubs software platform[34][35][36] and won a NewBay Media Best of Show Award at the NAB Show 2017[37] and an award at IBC Show 2017 at the IABM Design & Innovation Awards in the Post Production category.[38]

In 2018, ZOO Digital's ZOOdubs cloud dubbing service won an IABM award in the ‘Publish’ category[39] and ZOO won the Best Performing Share Award at the AIM Awards 2018 and Company of the Year at the Small Cap UK Awards.[40][41]
