BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Continuing its mission to revolutionize digital content
delivery, OWNZONES Media Network is bringing the industry's 'first
post house in the cloud' to the annual HPA Tech Retreat
(February 20-22) as a featured
participant in the event's Innovation Zone. The OTT EntTech company
will showcase its cloud-based Interoperable Master Format (IMF)
delivery platform, which is breaking new ground for IMF use by
removing the technical and cost barriers that previously impeded
its mass adoption by content owners.
This first end-to-end IMF workflow – under the banner of
OWNZONES Connect – is delivered via cloud-based SaaS services and
provides next-generation video collaboration features. To date,
OWNZONES Connect has delivered more than 10,000 movies to many
destination points, including Apple TV, Amazon and Comcast.
"We're excited that our OWNZONES Connect platform has the
ability to help accelerate the adoption of IMF by making it both
affordable and accessible to content owners," said Aaron Sloman, OWNZONES' Chief Technology
Officer, who had also introduced the platform to attendees at last
month's CES. "This demonstration of what we're doing in IMF should
really accelerate its adoption, which is a major win for the
industry across the board. We look forward to attending the HPA
Tech Retreat and presenting our platform's top features as part of
this year's Innovation Zone."
Some expected highlights (among others) from the OWNZONES
Connect Innovation Zone demonstrations include:
- A new cloud-based CPL builder that allows in-cloud creation of
IMF packages (versions of movies) with an instant preview in any
HTML5 browser
- A live preview of IMF packages (in cloud) with support for
timed text and multiple audio tracks
- Full support for supplemental deliveries
- Enabling the IMF promise to solve "versionitis" with mastering
workflows, sourced off IMF-based masters and supplements, building
the deliveries without creating bulky versions
The HPA Tech Retreat's Innovation Zone features emerging and
innovating technologies from nearly 60 companies at the vanguard of
the industry. The Innovation Zone is curated, making it a unique
and informative area. This year, the Innovation Zone unveils IMF
Central, a special area of Interoperable Master Format (IMF) expert
companies. Open February 20-22
(Tuesday through Thursday), it will also feature specialty suites
for presentations of cameras, monitors and other technologies that
require a darkened environment.
