In order to overcome the OTT challenges, content owners need a unified video solution that simplifies the tools and brings together best in class video capabilities under one canopy. The benefits of this kind of comprehensive solution include:
- 360 Degree Streaming Solution Development with a short turn-around time for building the OTT video streaming platform incurring low initial capital investment, followed by payment tied to service use.
- Front End Video Streaming Solution with a clean interface and optimized for digital devices, as well as CMS agnostic – versatile, accessible & accommodating.
- Single Vendor managing the entire video workflow, to avoid finger-pointing and simplify vendor relationships.
- Content management system for metadata management and user management integrated seamlessly with encoding workflows.
- Multi Device support (Web, Android, iOS, Roku, Firestick, Android TV, Apple TV)
- Video Capabilities such as lightning fast CDN & Data Storage, Digital Rights Management, Transfer, Encoding and Multiple Monetization Options (SVOD, AVOD & TVOD)
- Live Event Management with multiple room and camera options, supporting custom and real time server-side ad insertion for live events.
- Advanced Analytics analyzing fine-grained performance numbers in real time, with extensive configurable reporting to provide a holistic view onto customer behavior and KPIs.
As the OTT business continues to grow and evolve, so too must the platforms that support it. Multi-vendor, DIY platforms are not the best solutions for a large number of content providers. Leveraging an agnostic video workflow that includes everything OTT video providers need to launch their own streaming service – all controlled from a single Content Management System (CMS) – gives them the freedom to build, transform and grow their businesses and audiences. At DCT we took on the challenge of building a solution to meet these needs and provide these benefits. We believe our D’Café solution does just that. It is a unified solution that is highly customizable according to the needs of the particular OTT platform, and is continuously evolving to meet the needs of today’s emerging OTT video service provider.
