The main advantages of Icareus Video Cloud for content owners and distributors
No big startup projects or costs
Low start-up costs and billing based on monthly service depending on the scope of the service
Converting video to money can be done in already supported ways, e.g. through advertising, content packaging and paywalls.
Centralized video maintenance, live streaming, webinars, on-demand video services, pay-per-view option. Custom video players and video portals. Social media integrations, and of course adaptive distribution globally, just to mention the most important ones.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution, but modular features are chosen according to the customer's needs. The video user interfaces are configured to look like the customer's brand, and extensive interfaces enable extensions, integrations and own video applications for all end devices.
Responsive, embeddable and brandable video players and video portals for the Internet or Intranet. Are you interested in video applications for mobile devices, hybrid and SmartTV or streaming set-top boxes? Get in touch and we'll tell you how.
Every now and then you may want to protect your content and you can do so with e.g. video packaging, user management and registrations, or e.g. using IP blocking to define who watches your videos. We also have support for on-premise video distribution and recordings, e.g. for hospitals. Encrypting videos with tokens or even DRM (digital rights management) is also possible.
Remember that you always retain the rights to the videos when you use the Icareus Suite video cloud, unlike when you use e.g. YouTube or Facebook.
We have the world's leading cloud platform, software and content distribution network providers as partners. Our quality has been recognized as excellent by, among others, many international TV channels and operators; and millions of end users in the process.
