Nowadays, the audience is on Second Screens and Internet. Companies operating in the Broadcast and Media & Entertainment industries need more than ever to be able to distribute their content with new existing technology. And a streaming platform is the perfect tool to do so!
The Broadcast and Media & Entertainment industries are going through a deep revolution, whose pace has accelerated in the past few years: we are leaving behind physical formats and moving to Cloud streaming platforms (based on structures such as Microsoft Azure) that allow users to consume content directly through an Internet-connected device on their own terms.
This change has not only been technological. It has also affected the audience consumption pattern, that now, specially the younger generations, can choose their own times and ways of accessing its favourite content. The linear content consumption model is decaying and, even if it is difficult to see it go for good, the TV Everywhere revolution is now part of our daily lives. And streaming platforms are the main pillars of this reality.
The Broadcast and Media & Entertainment industries, so dependant nowadays on productivity improvements on its internal workflows and of engaging audiences with quality content, need more than ever to be capable of distributing their audiovisual material to users in an agile and immediate way. In that sense, a streaming platform, integrated with its internal system and workflow, is what a company of this industry needs in the actual context.
How can a streaming platform help you in your daily work and what advantages can you obtain from it? Let’s review the main three advantages:
- It allows to broadcast content directly wherever the audience is located, the Internet,Social Media, Mobile Applications, Smarts TVs or elsewhere
- It offers an advanced tool for broadcasting live events, like concerts or sport contests, in an easy and comfortable way for the user.
- It offers all the interesting advantages of the Cloud, such as transcoding and content management options, as well as archiving, replication and many others.
Considering these needs, at VSN we have developed VSNWEB TV: a modern streaming platform benefitted from all the advantages of our revolutionary media management systems that run in the Cloud, thanks to our latest integration with Microsoft Azure and its Media Services. Gain control and authorship against other third-party open systems, like Youtube.
