VIVE Announces Accedo One as Chosen Cloud Platform for its UHD HDR Platform as a Service at IBC 2017

DALLAS - Sept. 13, 2017 - PRLog -- VIVE Network, the first global ultra-high definition (UHD), high dynamic range (HDR), linear television network and platform as a service (PaaS), has selected Accedo, the video experience pioneer, to join its UHD Initiative on the heels of the platform's debut in conjunction with Harmonic, the worldwide leader in video delivery technology and services, and Globecast at NAB 2017. IBC 2017 marks the official roll-out of VIVE's PaaS devised for content curators of all scales. The Accedo One solution provides the perfect complement VIVE's PaaS by allowing networks, broadcasters, as well as brands to efficiently increase market penetration both via shorter time to market and wider reach across a full range of devices – from connected TV's to game boxes and mobiles – effectively lowering the barrier of entry to and leveling the premium entertainment provider 'playing field'.

VIVE's true end-to-end content distribution PaaS is designed to be a simple solution to a complex problem for producers – one single full-service platform for managing, maintaining, marketing, and most importantly, monetizing their content collections – in minimal time at a nominal cost. Its comprehensive breadth of features include CMS, DRM, analytics, push notifications, authentication, and many more.

Further, VIVE's PaaS extends content owners the opportunity to leverage VIVE's first-ever UHD HDR linear streaming capabilities based on Harmonic's end-to-end UHD HDR workflow solution and managed by Globecast. John Jacaman, VIVE Network Founder, says "Effectively, broadcasters can catapult into the realm of delivering 4K content over the top in virtually no time; however, in case content is ever an issue, VIVE can certainly help there, too, as the network specializes in UHD HDR content creation, including live."

Further, says Jacaman, "We are grateful for our technology partners' tremendous support and mutual vision. Together we have built something groundbreaking and minimized the live UHD HDR TV learning curve. We are delighted to finally be in a position to invite third parties to join us in propelling the initiative to proliferate premium UHD HDR entertainment."

As a complement to deploying their own feature-rich customized branded apps, premium content producers will have the option to incorporate their linear channel(s) into VIVE Network's own EPG thereby tapping in to ample cross promotion and content crossover opportunities and avoiding the fragmented landscape of niche VOD services.

Never before has it been as affordable to launch such a feature-rich, full-range OTT service and TV channel on a network as prolific as VIVE.
