Stream UK launches VMS 2.1

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Last week Stream UK released its new and improved video management system –Stream UK VMS 2.1 – maintaining the company’s position at the forefront of online content management and distribution. With web users spending more time than ever watching online video content, it has become a key business area for businesses of all shapes and size. Our product allows the user to get content online quickly, with its value retained in formats that can be seen by billions and delivered on a network that can cope with global demand.

 

At the heart of the product is the Media Manager which allows you to upload video or audio files in a range of formats from your desktop and immediately have them streamed.  We’ve upgraded the inbuilt media players, which now include more media sharing features to encourage user distribution. The new Web TV package includes a sleek new player, and allows you to quickly create playlists or channels and present an intuitive and attractive interface to your viewers – at the most cost-effective price available in the current market.

 

The new statistics package has been expanded and re-designed to now offer the most accurate and intuitive reporting tool available. The integrated system allows you to immediately access all the key data you need to conduct analysis on your content and online strategy : you can see where your users have come from; what they’ve watched; when they’ve watched it; and what devices they’ve been using, as well as monitoring your ongoing storage and data delivery.

 

Finally, the upgrade of our transcoding farm offers, delivers against the all important speed-to-market concern. You can batch upload video and audio files in a variety of formats for automated transcoding to your desired output format ready for immediate streaming. The new system allows you to see minutes transcoded, the content queue, and an expanded code library.

 

Stream UK’s VMS system is used by a range of clients, from global corporations to leading digital agencies and niche content providers. Current users include BBC News, Ideal TV, The British Council, and Grey London.

Stream UK’s New Transcription Service

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Stream UK is at the forefront of online content management and distribution and this new service is an add-on to the Stream UK video management system (VMS) which has recently been revised and relaunched. 

 

As web users are spending increasing amounts of time watching online video content, optimisation of this media type is becoming increasingly important. Search engines are increasingly utilising a “blended search” approach, whereby other media, such as pictures and videos, are displayed in conjunction with standard site results.  To capitalise on this, Stream UK’s new service transcription service allows users to upload their videos and benefit from the first 30 seconds of the video being automatically transcripted – the resulting text is then indexed by search engines, immediately increasing SEO.  In conjunction with the ability to add all forms of metadata to your content – titles, descriptions and tags – Streams UK’s video management systems provides the perfect platform to truly optimise your multimedia assets.

 

If you wish to add this service to your current VMS account or wish to open a VMS account please contact us at sales@streamuk.com.
