Anvato Brings Broadcast Quality to Video Producers in the Field
[Note: This sponsored interview was recorded at Streaming Media East 2014.]
Alper Turgut, CEO and president of Anvato, stopped by the 2014 Streaming Media East conference to show why 300 local stations and several major broadcasters trust his company's comprehensive TV Everywhere platform.
Anvato's core product is MCP, an end-to-end TV Everywhere platform.
"MCP stands for Media Content Platform. It is the product that the leading broadcasters use to manage their live encoding, video on-demand encoding, meta-tagging, distribution, and end-to-end management," said Turgut. "It also includes features for monetization, so they can monetize their video assets on every screen, including mobile and desktop devices."
Turgut wasn't at Streaming Media East simply to talk about existing products. His company announced a new product that week, one designed to help with field reporting.
"The new product is Anvato Cloud Live," Turgut explained. "Cloud Live product takes the same quality and the experience that the leading TV broadcasters have and brings it to the video producers. It allows individual producers from the field to generate a live signal and distribute that live signal, play that on multiple devices, and also create clips for social sharing and distribution."
