An overview of the System
The latest edition, VMS 2.0, is a complete re-design, incorporating the advantages of Web 2.0 along with the enterprise level reliability which over 200 clients have come to expect.
Getting content online
You bring the content, we’ll give you the tools to get it appreciated by billions.
There are two extremes in getting video or audio content online:
- Putting up links to the content on an unformatted html page.
- Fitting your content into a pre-designed template that displays everything in a standard form.
The VMS 2.0 strikes a balance between these two, equipping you with the tools to make the online experience engaging, whilst allowing the flexibility that suits your business needs and creative ideas. It’s all built on XML, so interchange of data with other applications and services is easy.
Branded Player and Programme Guides
The system has a range of functionality: At its most simple, the Media Manager allows you to insert video content seamlessly into your users’ web experience. At its most sophisticated, the Web TV suite gives you the freedom to arrange your branded player and electronic programme guide elements anywhere within your webpage. This means your site can look exactly as you want it to and if you have multiple clients, they can each have individual look and feels.
