iStreamPlanet, the leader in live, announced the availability of a new whitepaper by media industry analyst Sam Rosen of ABI Research that introduces a joint, multiscreen live video workflow from iStreamPlanet and Adobe. ABI Research’s Sam Rosen will be moderating a webinar on January 28th with iStreamPlanet and Adobe to discuss the joint workflow.
Based on the live video workflow the companies built for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, the integrated multiscreen workflow is now available to pay TV operators, broadcasters, and content owners ready to deliver premium live streaming events and channels to connected devices.
The whitepaper cites several key areas where market leaders iStreamPlanet and Adobe have collaborated to provide an integrated workflow to seamlessly solve for acquisition, live encoding and multiscreen packaging, digital rights management (DRM), ad insertion and audience tracking.
“Adobe and iStreamPlanet are working together to integrate key client and server side technologies, including ad insertion and ad decisioning, to make it easier for our premium content customers to launch multiscreen solutions that meet viewer expectations and business requirements,” said Campbell Foster, director of product marketing at Adobe.
