Conestoga College in Ontario, Canada, has launched CCDTV – Conestoga College Digital Television, its official broadcasting channel, using Cloud Video Kit, a solution for video processing, management and distribution from Insys Video Technologies.
CCDTV serves as the gateway to Conestoga’s digital content, dedicated to delivering a 24/7 broadcast of programmes, student features and shows. Previously, Conestoga College used Livestream to highlight its educational programmes and attract new students. However, as the popularity of their service increased, the college faced challenges with scalability and the desire to launch a 24/7 live channel accessible both online and on-campus TVs.
The migration to Cloud Video Kit resolved these issues by providing a modular video toolkit capable of handling increased demands, according to Insys VT. The solution not only streams live broadcasts through a custom video player on their website and on-campus TVs, but also offers analytics to monitor viewership data such as viewer behaviour, devices or locations.
“We were incredibly pleased with our first event on CCDTV, which reached over 150,000 viewers globally,” said Bruno Cortez Sibella, Events and Media Production Manager at Conestoga College. “Insys VT provided us with a seamless streaming experience that was crucial to our success. We are looking forward to expanding our channel and continuing to offer high-quality digital content with their reliable support.”
Dawid Górniak, Product Manager at Insys VT, added: “Seeing CCDTV not only launch, but also successfully engage such a large audience right from the start has been incredibly rewarding. By leveraging Amazon CloudFront CDN, Conestoga College can easily scale and manage its 24/7 live channel as demand grows. I’m excited to see our presence expanding in Canada with yet another successful deployment.”
