Xstream Aims to Simplify OTT, TVE

Xstream has launched its MediaMaker Loading Dock service, powered by Xstream MediaMaker, a cloud-based video management platform. The new solution is intended to enable cable operators and other video service providers to reduce time spent on the content supply chain for OTT video and TV Everywhere.

Loading Dock is a content supply chain management tool designed to solve content supply chain challenges, including: continuously varying distributor requirements, support for large amounts of content, fragmented supply chain vendor deliveries, ensuring quality of assets (video and metadata), bridging the gap between legacy set-top/IPTV and OTT/TVE, screening and rating of assets for parental control, and reducing the cost and time spent managing assets and ingest. Loading Dock is pre-integrated with the company's MediaMaker, but is also designed to work with other video management systems.
