Category Streaming
The demand for an immersive and dynamic user viewing experience has been hitting new highs as of the last few years, with content becoming even more widespread and accessible than ever before. Bitmovin Multiview allows viewers to watch multiple video feeds or camera angles simultaneously, providing a more immersive viewing experience that is not only engaging, but customizable. With Bitmovin Multiview being so interchangeable to specific scenarios, it is designed for live events such as sports, concerts and on-demand real-life applications. Consumers are shifting towards the Multiview experience at speed, especially as broadcasted content becomes more segregated across multiple channels and devices. For globally cherished sports events such as the Euros and Olympics, most if not all consumers are forced to flick between devices and apps when multiple games are happening simultaneously.
Seeing this conundrum, Bitmovin launched a brand new feature in Bitmovin Player called Multiview, to offer an alternative approach to this growing issue. While the concept of Multiview is not a new endeavor for the broadcast and media industry, Bitmovin’s Multiview is set apart from the crowd. Built on Bitmovin’s Player architecture, Multiview is pre-set with extensive feature support that is already used by some of the biggest brands in the industry to date. Not only this, but Bitmovin Player is widely renowned for its broad-reaching device support, next level reliability and scalability, feature-rich foundation and its unmatchable efficiency. Now elevated with the Multiview feature, it’s an end-to-end solution with built-in award-winning encoding technology and pre-integrated analytics. What’s more, Multiview’s built in encoding ensures audiences can enjoy high-quality streams regardless of bandwidth, using Per-Title encoding, multi-codec support with 8K and multi-HDR support. These analytics join forces to ensure that audience adoption of Multiview can be measured, together with pinpointing and resolving any playback issues in real-time before they impact the viewer.
Bitmovin Multiview also offers a unique opportunity to generate more revenue by leveraging its built-in monetization features. These features work by seamlessly integrating additional ad formats such as picture-in-picture, side-by-side and L-bar ads, which can be added into the Multiview viewing experience. This additional feature within Multiview opens the door to many more real-life use cases, such as all types of on-demand live streams, gaming and charity fundraisers. With such flexible and customizable ad opportunities, Bitmovin Multiview keeps content fresh and engaging while also enabling a variety of monetization ventures for vendors.
By implementing Bitmovin Multiview, vendors and broadcasters can take the extra step to captivate audiences during live streams, providing a premium viewing experience to consumers. By offering multiple angles and perspectives, Bitmovin Multiview delivers a more immersive and personalized viewing experience. This enhances user engagement and satisfaction, while also driving higher subscriber retention. Bitmovin Multiview also offers out-of-the-box DRM integrations for the tightest security available, a wide range of device support, low latency playback using HLS and DASH and a customizable player UI for a better viewing experience. Bitmovin Multiview takes the origins of Multiview and optimizes it at the next level, offering increased efficiency in all workflows across broadcast, media and even VR.
