Record to the Cloud

Record to the Cloud in real time so when your live event is over, the video is immediately available to re-watch on Video On-Demand (VOD). Trim clips before they are published so you can include the exact start and end points without having to go through the lengthy download, edit, export, and re-upload process. This service is included in our Live Streaming with Video On-Demand package so you won’t feel nickel and dimed. This service is available for use out of the gate with CCS.

Captioning

‘Live’ and ‘File Based Captioning’ are 100% cloud based and do not require any hardware. Caption with great accuracy (95%+) while captions are embedded on VOD programming, live streams, and OTT apps. This service even integrates with our playback servers so captions appear seamlessly on your cable channel. Easy, automated and affordable. Our caption services are reliable and provide captions for a fraction of the cost.

CASTUS not only opened up to 24/hr programming opportunities and greatly reduced the time I’ve needed to spend on playback as a whole (in more ways than I can count on my fingers!) but it added features we use regularly.
