OTTilus Service Manager

The OTTilus Service Manager is an advanced management system for multiscreen service delivery. The Service Manager incorporates a broad range of sophisticated scheduling tools for managing linear content, EPG, catch-up TV services, and VOD catalogs together with different content offers. Comprehensive content management capabilities include advanced rights that can be used to restrict content to specific viewers, geographic territories, devices, and time windows and for configuring blackouts accordingly. Additionally, the OTTilus Service Manager accommodates a broad range of monetization options, powerful analytics and flexible deployment options. As an open eco-system, the Service Manager supports multiple formats, devices, and DRMs.

OTTilus Video Platform

The OTTilus Video Platform provides out of the box end-to-end services. The solutions encompass all major system components from content acquisition to player applications (white label or with third parties). Powered by the OTTilus Service Manager, the Video Platform remains agile enough to meet all business requirements even as business expands and becomes more complex. Delivered as a cloud-based service, the OTTilus Video Platform includes an easy-to-use central management console that defines and manages all service attributes from content availability, rights management, metadata, security, monetization options, user profiles, devices, and much more. The OTTilus Video Platform supports streaming, progressive download, and "download to own" in all major streaming formats.

Company Quote:

"Broadcast-quality media continues to make its way to all consumer screens over the open Internet. Therefore, content owners, broadcasters, and service providers need to expand and differentiate their OTT offerings, but at the same time maximize operational efficiency given that OTT monetization is still very uncertain. Key to their success will be an OTT solution that tightly integrates business operations around workflows, metadata, rights, ad campaigns, and analytics - while supporting ubiquitous delivery of premium content to all devices and providing a great user experience. With Pilat Media's outstanding experience and expertise in TV Everywhere solutions, we look forward to demonstrating at the OTTtv World Summit how our OTTilus solutions provide a smooth path to introducing, delivering, and managing OTT services."
