"This fully-managed advanced media transformation and content delivery service
will help accelerate time-to-market for global broadcasters and pay-TV
operators who are competing to transform their services in rapidly growing
over-the-top (OTT) markets," said Pierre-Louis Theron, vice president of
content delivery services, Lumen Technologies. "With local language support in
various regions, and deep experience in transforming broadcast workflows to
support OTT delivery, we can empower operators with advanced video features and
monetization tools. This means they can deliver OTT content at scale and retain
and win favor with local audiences and advertisers."
Part of the Lumen Edge Application Delivery portfolio, Lumen Media
Transformation utilizes the company's secure Vyvx signal acquisition which has
been interconnected with cloud-based video software from MediaKind for
encoding, packaging and enrichment of content. Video is then served directly to
the consumer over the Lumen global content delivery network (CDN). With
flexibility in mind, services can be turned on/off as needed and require no
additional investment in CAPEX, no further hardware deployment, and no changes
to existing broadcast workflows. Lumen Media Transformation enhances the Lumen
platform and broadens the media and content delivery capabilities available to
customers to deliver amazing digital experiences.
As the number of OTT video subscribers continues to grow, so will the demand
for OTT enrichment and delivery solutions. According to industry analyst firm
Omdia, global OTT video subscribers will reach more than 1.24 billion in 2021,
an increase of 13% over 2020, and OTT subscription revenue is expected to grow
by 21% to a grand total of $90 billion.
"The global OTT video market is growing very quickly, partly boosted by the
Covid pandemic, with particularly strong growth in regions such as Latin
America and Asia Pacific, which are now outpacing more established markets like
North America and Europe," stated Tony Gunnarsson, principal analyst, Omdia.
"There is strong demand from local and regional media providers for advanced
capabilities that enable them to more quickly and easily deliver OTT content
in-market."
