Amagi launches next-generation managed playout service
MUMBAI: Cloud-based broadcast infrastructure and targeted TV advertising specialist Amagi has launched a new managed playout service designed to simplify video content preparation, management, and delivery for broadcasters by leveraging cloud capabilities.
Utilising the end-to-end cloud-based service for content delivery, playout management, ingest, asset and archival management, quality control, traffic and scheduling, and 24/7 monitoring, broadcasters can dramatically increase workflow efficiency, reduce costs, and gain complete visibility and control over their playout. Amagi will showcase its complete technology offering at IBC2015 in Amsterdam (11 – 15 September).
“Faced with the challenge of delivering more content to an ever growing number of devices, today’s broadcasters need scalable, flexible, and cost-effective playout solutions,” said Amagi co-founder K.A. Srinivasan.
He further added, “Our next-generation cloud-based service transforms the way broadcasters handle video content, enabling them to distribute content more efficiently and cost-effectively on a global scale. Building on our successful CLOUDPORT infrastructure, we are now providing automated, technology-driven services, and a partner marketplace to provide a completely managed playout service to TV networks.”
Amagi’s next-generation playout service enables asset management on the cloud. Broadcasters can store and archive all necessary assets without requiring a large capital investment, as is the case with traditional asset management platforms. With built-in replication, the cloud is disaster-resistant and provides easy collaboration across multiple sites. Amagi’s cloud-based approach to asset management also provides broadcasters the ability to easily alter the content for VOD and OTT multiscreen delivery.
