Over-the-top (OTT) has become the latest and current trend these days for broadcasters to monetize quickly in the current broadcast industry. In order to cater to viewers who are more demanding and would like to watch their favorite contents on-the-go or anytime they wished through the devices that they preferred, you will surely need a good and viable OTT CMS (Content Management System) to begin with. Viewers satisfaction have become so demanding these days that broadcasters in the past are having trouble coping with them. But with today's emerging OTT technologies, broadcasters are able to bridge this gap easily by streaming their favorite contents to their subscribers on multiple devices based on the SVOD, TVOD, AVOD or PVOD models.

Broadcasters who realize this business potential are earning a significant revenue not only from their subscribers but also through commercials as well. With our OTT solution namely Amrick OTT CMS , you can quickly monetize this very lucrative business by tapping into this new broadcasting trend. Our OTT CMS can manage and organize your contents with ease through Metadata, maintain a large database of your current subscribers, perform on-the-fly adaptive bitrate streaming along with Closed Captions subtitling on all of your contents and most importantly to protect your precious contents and LIVE Channels via a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system all the same time to prevent content theft.

You may start with one or two Channels first or several Channels at once with Video On Demand (VOD) services included for your subscribers. Geographical constraints is no longer an issue as you can also stream your contents to other regions or perform Geolocation restrictions as well at your convenience.

A Media Asset Management (MAM) system is a very powerful solution for any Broadcasters, as it helps to keep your Media Contents within your Broadcast facility organized and always available at your fingertips. By being able to Categorize and insert very specific Metadata into all of your Contents along with the ability to create Storyboards, perform simple video editing, create multiple file versioning and multiple Projects at the same time. All these workflows in turn will allow you to search and retrieve any Content that you want easily and quickly within your Network Storage or even from your Deep Archive Storage.

With today's fully evolved MAM systems, it can be integrated with various 3rd Party systems as well such as a Broadcast Automation, NLE stations, Video Playout & Ingest Servers, Content Factory, Newsroom and many more. Acting as a one stop center for managing, archiving and distributing your Contents, you get to set various permission and access rights to unlimited no. of users from various departments that would somehow need to retrieve and work with the Contents stored in your MAM facility.

For example, you might want to send the RAW materials to the Video Editing department to do the video edits and then later distribute it to the Master Control Room (MCR) for playout and ON-AIR. Once the Content has already been ON-AIR, you can store it back within your Online Storage for later re-broadcast or perhaps to move it over to the Deep Archive storage for permanent Content perservation or even perhaps to automatically purge it instead based on predefined Digital Rights Management (DRM) policies. It's all yours to control and you determine how you want your Content to move along in your Broadcast facility.

Most MAM systems also come with a built-in File Transcoder, allowing you to automatically generate low proxies for quicker viewing of the Media Assets within your LAN & WAN network or perhaps to send several different file conversions from the same Content for playout and ON-AIR purposes through various broadcast platforms. And with today's matured Cloud Computing and Storage, you can even opt for a MAM service by putting all your Contents over the Cloud and perform all the workflows mentioned above through the Cloud instead. We have several MAM solutions that we can offer to you based on your budget and requirements, whether you are planning for an enterprise MAM solution with Deep Archiving or a small scale MAM, whatever your needs are, we are confident to propose you the right MAM for your Broadcasting needs.
If you need a Content Factory generating multiple and simultaneous Video file formats automatically with different Bitrate, Compression and Wrappers for Broadcasting in multiple different platforms, we have the solution just right for you. Please contact us for more details based on what you need.
Checking the quality of your Video files before putting them ON-AIR is extremely important as you won't want to afford Broadcasting your Contents with Video artifacts such as Black Frames, Frozen Frames, Lip-Sync issues, incorrect Video Parameters and the usual culprit which is the Audio being not normalize for each of your Contents. With our powerful Video File Quality Check solutions which includes Auto-File Correction and Audio Normalization capabilities as well, rest assured that your Contents will always have to pass the Green Flag checks before being put ON-AIR.

While you ensure that you always deliver good quality Contents over the Air, your customers and viewers will always be pleased viewing your Channel/s as well. Contact us for more information.
