Setplex – Next-Level User-Centered OTT Platforms
Booth W2643
Setplex focuses on end-to-end OTT solutions that deliver great user experiences before anything else – as a viewer myself, that sounds about right, no? At NAB, they’re showing off innovations like:
- AI Video Upscaling – An AI-powered engine that converts low-resolution footage to HD, so legacy content looks sharp without costly remastering.
- Flexible Monetization – New tools for subscriptions, TVOD (transactional VOD), and promotions that help operators grow and retain subscribers (hint: we may have a play in that).
- Immersive UX – Modern app features like vertical video support (did you know that vertical videos have a 90% higher watch completion rate compared to horizontal ones?) and ultra-personalization that boost viewer engagement.
How we work together – Setplex & broadpeak.io:
Mediablocks, Setplex and broadpeak.io recently teamed up to deliver seamless streaming for the Copa América 2024 tournament. Setplex provided the content management, apps, and CDN load-balancing for Venezuela’s Televen, while Broadpeak powered the SSAI so Televen could maximize its advertising inventory with server-side ads. The result? A record-breaking live streaming audience in Venezuela! Read more.
