Synamedia has announced a range of new capabilities for its Quortex Play D2C (direct to consumer) streaming SaaS solution to securely deliver premium video content at scale, while lowering processing and CDN costs.
The new features give content owners greater control of their ad-free or ad-supported video streaming services’ quality of experience (QoE) with an extended self-service portal to manage image quality and lower latency using Synamedia’s virtual Digital Content Manager (vDCM), and even allow the distribution of event highlights.
“Since Synamedia’s acquisition of Quortex in July 2022, we’ve only accelerated our innovation in D2C streaming,” said Marc Baillavoine, CTO of Video Network at Synamedia. “We’ve merged the best benefits from cloud-native solutions and Synamedia’s legacy expertise in video software to build and continually evolve capabilities that will quickly and efficiently enable streamers to connect a bigger audience to premium content and events – with accelerated ROI.”
The updates will be seen at NAB in Las Vegas as part of a new sports streaming “cockpit” that aggregates the entire sports event management experience, putting customers “behind the wheel” with access to service status updates including ingest, processing and delivery metrics.
Quortex Play is now available in four feature plans, ranging from self-service to a full, white glove service. Each plan can be associated with a service level, ranging from basic to customised, with different lengths of commitment, and offered as a multi-or single-tenant SaaS offering.
