OTT platform for film distributors
Stream movies, series and shows to consumers and increase your revenue
Manage your complete platform from 1 environment
You can effortlessly manage both the website and all apps from one central management environment. This way you can easily keep your entire streaming service under control.
We've developed Netflix-style building blocks that allow you to quickly set up and manage your own website, mobile apps and even TV apps.
Each interface is equipped with unique features, such as the download-to-go feature for mobile users who also want to enjoy their favorite films or series while on holiday.
- Website
- Native mobile apps
- Google Chromecast & Apple AirPlay
- Smart TV apps
Upload videos, artwork, subtitles and audio tracks
In the management environment, you can easily upload MP4 video files via the Asset section. During the upload process, the source file is automatically converted into five different resolutions, so you can always stream at the best possible quality. For example, Full HD quality is streamed to a TV, while a smartphone with a smaller screen automatically receives an SD version.
If you have partners who prepare a source file for you, they can upload a film directly to your management environment via FTP.
All video resolutions, including the original source file, can be downloaded directly from the management environment. You can also easily share a download link with other users.
Do you want to offer a film in multiple languages? No problem! You can easily upload multiple subtitle files in "WEBVTT" format and link them to a video. In addition, it is possible to add multiple audio tracks to your video file.
During the upload process, AudiencePlayer automatically generates several screenshots of the video, which you can use as a thumbnail. Of course, you can also upload your own screenshot if you prefer.
Prevent illegal downloading by users
DRM (Digital Rights Management) or video encryption is often required by major movie studios. Video encryption adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for users to illegally download your videos.
AudiencePlayer implements four different security techniques by default, which are applied via "encryption in transit". This means that protection is not applied until a user plays a video. The big advantage of this is that multiple security techniques are offered for the same video item. It is therefore not necessary to store a separate video item for each security technique (which saves a lot of storage costs).
The four security techniques that we apply to videos as standard are:
- Microsoft PlayReady
- Google Widevine
- AES encryption
- FairPlay encryption
Grow your turnover
With AudiencePlayer you set up your own revenue model. In the management environment you create the different models in the Monetization section. You can opt for a single revenue model or a combination of different revenue models. Consider, for example, subscriptions in combination with pay-per-view.
We have ensured that consumers can make a purchase with the most well-known payment methods (e.g. iDeal, credit card, Paypal, Bancontact etc.)
The Voucher section contains features that allow you to set up different types of promotions or discounts. Think of gift cards, vouchers, discount coupons etc.
The standard payment models that you can activate are:
- Subscriptions (SVOD)
- Pay-per-view (TVOD)
- Rentals
- Credits
- Free VOD
Tools with which you trigger users to watch
In the management environment you can create your own movie pages in the Article section. The purpose of a movie page is to convince consumers to click the play button and watch the movie. In addition, you want them to regularly return to your streaming service and remain a subscriber for as long as possible.
To achieve this, we have created various tools and elements with which you can trigger users to continue using your streaming service.
Examples of this are:
- Ribbons (diagonal ribbon on a video thumbnail on which you can place texts such as "new" or "popular").
- trailer buttons
- Recommendations (set manually or automated)
- Background posters
- Social media icons that allow you to share movie pages via social media
- Meta data with unique fields
Get high positions in Google
To ensure that your movie pages are found well by the Google search engine, we have incorporated all important Google requirements in AudiencePlayer.
We also link your AudiencePlayer environment with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. This gives you deeper insights into the online behavior of your visitors and allows you to properly monitor online advertising campaigns.
- Keywords, titles, meta description, URL slug
- WYSIFYG text editor (headings H1, H2 etc.)
- Google Analytics
- Google Tag Manager
Data that enables smart business decisions
Without data you are completely in the dark. That is why we have developed a dashboard in which the most important data is collected so that you can make better and more effective decisions about your streaming business.
It is also important that you can inform suppliers or rights holders of the films about how often a film has been viewed or purchased. This allows you to make commercial agreements.
Examples of data that you can view are:
- Number of paying users
- Number of videos published
- Number of videos viewed
- Revenue per month
- Viewing time per device or platform
- Top 10 most viewed videos
