YospaceCDS At Work: Customer Applications

As an on-demand video storage, storefront, media processing and delivery solution, YospaceCDS has a wide range of applications addressing a variety of needs. Examples given below are a non-exhaustive selection of ways in which YospaceCDS can fit with your business.

Digital Publishers: Extend Your Video Offering to Mobile

Today, more and more digital publishers are making video content central to their on-line offering. With its built-in web-to-mobile on-demand transcoding capabilities, YospaceCDS makes it possible for Digital Publishers to take their web video out to mobile quickly and easily, delivering a truly convergent proposition, with little upfront investment.

For businesses that already have a mobile presence, YospaceCDS offers a variety of integration strategies allowing you to create a solution that best fits your needs.

If you are new to mobile, YospaceCDS offers a full storefront solution based on the same platform as the popular video community EyeVibe®. It is possible to use the white-labelled mobile video storefront or simply become a channel within EyeVibe® giving you access to a growing UK-centric community of over 300,000 16-30 year olds. Either way, you'll be delivering your video content on mobile in no time. Adding advertising into your video is also easy; just use the on-line tools provided to manage and track your advert creatives.

Digital Publisher Example Integration Scenario A

In this example, YospaceCDS reads MRSS video feeds provided by your Web Video Solution Provider in order to offer the same video content to mobile. Here, the EyeVibe video portal (as a branded channel or white labelled technology platform) provides the discovery interface.

Digital Publisher Example Integration Scenario B

This example is similar to Example A, other than the MRSS feed is hosted by your web site. By establishing your own MRSS feed, you can control what subset of your video you wish to offer to mobile.

Digital Publisher Example Integration Scenario C

This more sophisticated example assumes that you have your own mobile offering and wish to offer within it the same video content you have on the web. YospaceCDS reads your MRSS feeds and builds an equivalent MRSS feed containing references to the mobile encoded content. This MRSS can be read and presented by your Mobile Site, but with YospaceCDS still taking care of the delivery.

Mobile Application Developers: Extend Your Proposition to Video

Mobile video is a minefield of technical issues ranging from format choices and handset compatibility to network capabilities and delivery options. The fastest and simplest way to get a great video experience into your application is to integrate with YospaceCDS. You can integrate your product through a Web Services API, so that you can place videos in an online repository where adaptation and delivery to the multitude of differing devices of your customers is taken care of. Alternatively, you can use a simpler approach where your application remains the origin server but content is dynamically encoded and delivered through YospaceCDS.

Mobile Operators: Outsource Your Mobile Video Portal

EyeVibe (formerly SeeMeTV on 3 UK and LookAtMe! and O2 UK) set the benchmark for mobile user-generated video content, amassing over 35 million downloads, having paid back over €1.1 million (US$ 1.85 million) to its contributors. Today, EyeVibe is a thriving cross-operator community allowing its members to share and interact with video content. The underlying technology as a white-labelled video portal product combined with the advanced video processing technology of YospaceCDS provides a proven, community building portal solution for user-generated and professional video alike.

Media Businesses: A Centralised Transcoding Facility

If your business handles a lot of media, and must address the need to publish it in a variety of formats, YospaceCDS can be used as an on-demand transcoding solution, media origin server, and media archive. Embedding the YospaceCDS a centralised transcoding service within you production workflow improves reliability, reduces complexity and provides you with a commercial model where you pay for only what you use.

Web Video Solution Providers: Partner with Yospace to Expand Your Offering to Mobile

As a web video solution provider, extending reach to mobile is a nice-to-have but requires valuable resource that is needed in handling the increasing demand for your core proposition. Develop a partnership with Yospace to extend your web-based video delivery solution to mobile without the need to divert valuable resources from your core goal.
