MediaKind, a prominent media technology and video delivery solutions provider, is enhancing its streaming capabilities with the debut of an advanced Multiview solution. Developed in collaboration with Skreens Technology, this new offering is designed to elevate the live event viewing experience.
Combining Skreens’ content compositing technology with MediaKind’s MK.IO streaming platform, the new solution empowers broadcasters, operators, over-the-top (OTT) service providers, and content owners to provide multiple simultaneous video feeds. This functionality gives viewers enhanced control and flexibility in how they consume live content. Whether the event is a sports competition, an esports tournament, or another live production, audiences can switch between various camera angles or streams, thus personalizing their viewing experience on any device.
The partnership with Skreens allows MediaKind to furnish a flexible and scalable solution tailored to the evolving needs of the media landscape. This empowers content providers with the appropriate tools to distinguish themselves in a competitive market.
“With the new Multiview solution, MediaKind is taking live event viewing to the next level,” commented Cory Zachman, Senior Vice President of Engineering at MediaKind. “By integrating Skreens’ technology, we’re enabling broadcasters, operators and OTT providers to offer more dynamic, customizable content experiences to their audiences—unlocking new levels of engagement and interaction.”
Key Features of MediaKind’s Multiview Solution:
- Enhanced Viewer Experience: Audiences can personalize their experience by seamlessly switching between camera angles and feeds, as well as choosing audio. This feature is perfectly suited for sports, live events, and other interactive experiences.
- Cross-Platform Support: The Multiview experience is accessible across a wide array of devices, including smart TVs and mobile phones, ensuring platform choice is not a barrier for viewers.
- Seamless Deployment: MediaKind leverages Skreens’ server-side compositing technology to deliver Multiview as a single stream, requiring no modifications to existing infrastructure. This ensures compatibility even with low-powered devices, without requiring additional upgrades.
- Pay-As-You-Go Model: Custom-designed for live event broadcasts, the solution operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, aligning costs with live event schedules, promoting flexibility for viewers. This keeps the solution cost-effective when needed.
Marc Todd, CEO and Co-Founder of Skreens, stated, “The future of viewing experiences lies in the personalization of live content, particularly in sports. Our partnership with MediaKind leverages Skreens’ patented live multiview personalization technology, combining two innovative platforms. This collaboration not only enhances our customers’ offerings with dynamic new features but also opens up exciting monetization opportunities.”
