MUMBAI: KIT digital, a leading video management software and services company, has introduced the latest version of its video-on-demand (VOD) store solution which will allow content owners and service providers to establish a fully managed and monetised VOD capability.
The new release provides a number of enhancements including a new editorial and media workflow interface, which allows multiple endpoints to be served by a single editorial process.
"The VOD store sits on top of our flexible Cosmos video management platform to create a seamless ingest, publishing and delivery system. Combined with the skill and expertise of our systems integration and managed services teams, we can help our customers get innovative products to market rapidly," said KIT Digital Chief Technology Officer Mark Christie.
The core of KIT digital‘s VOD Store solution is the Cosmos video management platform, a scalable, broadcast-grade video content management system for multi-screen delivery solutions. With the VOD Store solution, companies can centrally manage video assets for delivery to PC, connected TVs, set-top boxes, game consoles, tablets and smartphones.
Cosmos supports a range of revenue generation models including advertising, pay-per-view and subscription, all underpinned by flexible packaging and pricing tools that give content owners full control of merchandising. The VOD Store solution can be integrated with a wide variety of leading digital rights management (DRM) providers through Cosmos Guard, the platform‘s DRM abstraction layer. Cosmos Guard gives access to a comprehensive set of content protection options across a wide range of devices.
Alongside Cosmos‘ improved editorial user interface, the new VOD Store solution also includes support for multi-channel authoring and publishing, allowing editorial and business users to target content to different devices and geographies. It also includes full multi-lingual support including RTL languages and in-context editing allowing editorial staff to quickly modify promotions and other aspects of the user experience.
