Getting started with Icareus Video Cloud doesn’t require large projects or high upfront costs. As a cloud service, automatic updates ensure the platform is always up to date and performing at its best.
The modular and versatile Icareus Video Cloud platform adapts to your needs, whether your service includes live TV, catch-up TV, time-shift TV, restart TV, VOD, free or ad-supported content, or premium subscription services.
Icareus Video Cloud supports multiple monetization models, including ads, subscriptions, and pay-per-view events.
Targeted video advertising can be managed using built-in campaign and ad tools, or integrated with third-party ad servers and DSPs.
Built-in payment integrations support bank and credit card payments, PayPal, and the Icareus platform’s own voucher tools.
Our system offers public, template-based end-user applications and user interfaces, as well as a browser-based user interface for the management user. The solution can also be used through API interfaces alone, in which case our client company itself can be responsible for the implementation of video applications.
Icareus Video Cloud provides open APIs to integrate the platform with existing systems and third-party services, such as CMS, CRM, EPG, DRM, and billing platforms, as well as client applications and devices.
The platform includes browser-based management tools for administrators, but it can also operate as a “black box” solution that integrates with existing systems and is managed through external tools.
Icareus Video Cloud provides detailed analytics on live streams, video views, events, advertising, sales and users. Use these insights to analyze performance, improve your content and services, and continuously optimize your offering.
