Verizon Digital Media Services has added the Slicer application to its Volicon Media Intelligence service, an essential software element of the Uplynk Video Streaming service.
The integration allows users of the Volicon Media Intelligence service to launch over-the-top (OTT) offerings quickly by leveraging their existing Volicon hardware infrastructure.
The Volicon Media Intelligence service, deployed at more than a thousand broadcast locations worldwide, records broadcast content across interfaces including serial digital interface (SDI), TS (a digital container format for transmission), and analogue for purposes of monitoring, compliance and review. The Uplynk Video Streaming service allows broadcasters to stream linear channels, live events and on-demand clips to online viewers on an array of mobile phones, tablets, Web browsers and streaming devices.
The addition of the Slicer application to the Volicon Media Intelligence service puts industry-leading compliance, monitoring and OTT delivery in a single footprint within a broadcaster's facility.
"The Uplynk Video Streaming service is ideal for TV networks, stations, affiliates and any other Volicon Media Intelligence service-enabled operation looking to light up new OTT channels quickly and economically," said Ted Middleton, chief product officer at Verizon Digital Media Services. "The worlds of traditional broadcasting and over-the-top delivery are converging, and in this case, we're actually combining workflows from both worlds in one location for our customers."
