“With Virtual Channels, we’ve added a truly unique capability that leverages new technology from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and allows our video-centric customers to experiment with a connected TV strategy without the heavy technical lift or investment,” said Matt Monahan, Vice President of Product for Arc XP. “This solution lowers the barriers to entry for deploying the proven engagement of always-on video content. We’ll look to aggressively build on this in the coming months, incorporating individual live video streams and creating options for content personalization.”
Built leveraging AWS Elemental MediaTailor, Virtual Channels is a cloud-based solution integrated with Arc’s Video Player and Video SDKs to allow business users to create and edit channels that are streamed to the web along with iOS, tvOS, FireTV, and Android devices. In the coming months, using AWS Elemental, Arc will allow customers to merge VOD with live broadcasts, creating a channel that’s a mix of live and pre-recorded content, as well as enhance the personalization capabilities around content in addition to ads.
