Customizable OTT platform
MADE-TO-ORDER INTEGRATED OTT SOLUTION FOR BROADCASTERS AND OPERATORS
CUSTOMIZABLE OTT SOLUTION
Tier 1 broadcasters and operators often have an existing backend environment complete with encoding, transcoding, DRM, CDN and content management systems. These companies design and develop the OTT experience in-house with dedicated teams. This generates a demand for an approach where the client-side application, multichannel UI and UX are created and integrated into the existing and widely deployed customer environment.
Sofia Digital’s OTT platform is based on best practice solutions from multiple deliveries around the world. Our modular approach has numerous available components and backend integrations to all the most common backend systems to select from – all fully customizable.
At the same time, if the customer does not have a complete OTT environment yet, Sofia Digital can provide the necessary backend solutions with its partners.
