September 12 2013 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of
cloud services for video, today announced that EVS, a global
provider of live video production systems, has partnered with
Brightcove to power transcoding for its C-Cast solution, a suite of
tools that allows broadcasters to instantly deliver complementary
content to viewers on second screen devices during live events. By
leveraging Brightcove’s Zencoder cloud-based encoding service to
power transcoding for C-Cast, EVS enables premier sports and
entertainment broadcast customers around the world to create clips
from their live broadcast workflow to deliver a wide range of
second screen content to audiences on connected devices.
To date, the Zencoder service has processed more than half a
million second screen content clips for EVS and its C-Cast
customers including Canal+, the French premium pay TV channel.
“C-Cast is a transformative technology that empowers our
customers to maximize their existing content by editing,
distributing and monetizing clips from live events,” said Johann
Schreurs, market solution manager, remote interface, at EVS. “At
the same time, it offers audiences unique second screen
connectivity to near-live and exclusive content that enhances the
overall viewing experience. Our broadcast customers demand a
high-quality, highly reliable service, and we chose Zencoder to
handle the transcoding of clips due to its unparalleled
performance, proven dependability and scalable global
footprint.”
C-Cast, a simple add-on to any EVS live production
infrastructure, empowers broadcasters to deliver an array of second
screen content, including: multi-camera action review, key
highlights browsing and review, stats-related content and player,
team and personality tracking. Content providers use C-Cast to
create clips from their broadcast workflow that are then transcoded
through the Zencoder service. The second screen clips are then made
available to publish online and are easily ingested into the
broadcaster’s video publishing platform--including Brightcove Video
Cloud--or any second screen application or connected platforms.
“EVS technology supports some of the world’s most exciting live
sports, news and entertainment events,” said Jon Dahl, vice
president, encoding solutions, at Brightcove. “We are thrilled that
EVS has selected the Zencoder service to power transcoding for
C-Cast and to help content providers make the most of their live
events by extending the experience to Internet-connected
devices."
The Zencoder service’s cloud-based approach gives organizations
such as EVS access to unlimited video encoding power through a
simple but powerful API, without the costs and complexity
associated with managing expensive encoding hardware and/or
software. Zencoder’s API-driven video on-demand (VOD) service
converts videos from websites, applications or video libraries into
formats that enable organizations such as EVS to quickly deploy
video to consumers on virtually any Internet-connected device. In
addition to the VOD encoding service, Brightcove also offers the
Zencoder Live Cloud Transcoding service that allows publishers to
effortlessly scale live event transcoding.
