More channel owners and streaming services can offer viewer-curated Multiview experiences for live events – and introduce them faster, according to claims by Broadpeak.
This is thanks to ‘Multiview as a Service’, the latest addition to the company’s SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, broadpeak.io.
Customers can introduce Multiview across a broad range of devices through a flexible, usage-based SaaS model. This eliminates upfront CapEx and aligns costs with service usage.
Multiview lets audiences choose their preferred layouts and watch multiple channels, live events, or camera angles simultaneously. It is one of the UX (user experience) innovations the TV industry is using to increase engagement with content, especially sports.
“Traditional Multiview deployments can require significant infrastructure, encoding resources and lengthy integration projects,” Broadpeak said. “Our cloud-based service significantly accelerates time-to-market.”
Managing underlying infrastructure
Broadpeak manages the underlying infrastructure needed for Multiview services and provides continuous service supervision. Proactive monitoring helps ensure consistent service performance, while detailed KPIs enable customers to optimise their service settings over time.
“With growing demand for more interactive and personalised live experiences, broadcasters and streamers are looking to give viewers greater control over how they watch live events,” explained Jacques Le Mancq, president and CEO of Broadpeak.
“Multiview has quickly become one of the most requested capabilities for premium sports streaming, but deployment cost and complexity have prevented many providers from using it.
“Bringing Multiview to broadpeak.io removes these barriers. It makes sophisticated viewing experiences accessible to a wide range of service providers via a nimble, cost-efficient model.”
