Vimond has joined the You.i TV Partner Program to accelerate global availability of cross-platform OTT video. Vimond will be demonstrating a combined solution at the NAB Show in Las Vegas.
The two companies are providing SVOD and TV Everywhere solutions with one-stop access to the front- and back-end elements for direct-to-consumer video. The collaboration leverages the Vimond Platform, a multi-tenant architecture that includes tools and controls to manage and deliver multi-format OTT services, and the You.i Engine experience platform, which is designed to expedite availability of video apps at scale.
The Vimond Platform covers OTT back-end operations - from ingest and encoding to conditional access and business intelligence reporting. You.i Engine allows using a single codebase and device graphics processing resources for the creation of video apps that can be adapted to changing content, in-app advertising and consumer needs, and that can provide UXs that are consistent across every device.
"Vimond's customer base has been built on the strength of our tool set that offers comprehensive answers to our customers' growing DTC businesses," said Stein Erik Sorhaug, vice president, product strategy for Vimond. "Our partnership with You.i TV creates significant new value for our customers by giving them the opportunity to create video app experiences that differentiate their offerings and engage viewers across the vast universe of smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles."
"You.i TV and our partners are reshaping the TV landscape by delivering 'user first' experiences that are more engaging and better for our customers' businesses," said Susan Odle, director of business partners for You.i TV. "By adding Vimond to our Partner Program, we're increasing our ability to offer the advantages of the You.i Engine development environment within solutions that are designed to meet each video service provider's needs."
