DICE Verse and Zixi combine channel rights with optimized delivery over IP networks, delivering curated content to fragmented audiences, engaging viewers and enhancing revenue.
Aiming to meet the growing demand for diverse, engaging content, DICE Verse is a content buying and selling platform of services for video producers and distributors. Rights holders use DICE to expand their reach and monetize content worldwide.
Its DICE Prime service works as an all-in-one marketplace for sales, marketing, promotion and reporting, which helps producers connect with international buyers. By developing their global market presence, service providers and production companies can generate new revenue.
DICE Network is a subscription service for media providers, where subscribers can market their titles, receive inquiries and take advantage of DICE’s targeted promotions to increase visibility and potential connections. Meanwhile, DICE Stream delivers a lineup of pre-curated 24/7 channels. Available on Pay TV and/or FAST models, they cater to a range of viewer types and integrate directly into users’ CTV, DTH, mobile or OTT platforms.
DICE Stream and Zixi SVDP
DICE Verse has formed a new partnership with Zixi. By also integrating Zixi’s Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP) into DICE Stream, exclusive IP channel rights are bundled with optimized delivery over IP networks. This combined approach means that media channels, broadcasters and digital platforms will be able to distribute live and on-demand content to fragmented audiences more easily. As curated, structured selections of diverse content, the channels become the means to engage viewers and enhance revenue.
Zixi improves DICE’s ability to deliver video at broadcast-grade quality, at the same time minimising complexity for their customers. Zixi’s ultra-low latency streaming, robust security, reliability and scalability contribute to best-possible performance for DICE’s Stream customers. Through the platform, all switching is managed in the cloud, sending only the required feeds to each receiver. Its efficiency helps to lower egress and compute costs, which in turn lowers total cost of ownership for content providers.
Zen Master Control
Not only can this signal switching be customised, but the platform also has a high level of control. Zixi’s ZEN Master features tools devoted to efficiently orchestrating, managing and monitoring channel distribution across multiple regions and platforms, allowing DICE Stream customers to securely scale content delivery.
“DICE makes its impact in the Entertainment & Sports rights value chain by simplifying the complex landscape of content acquisition and delivery,” said Sid Khemka, Founder and CEO, DICE Verse. “Through our partnership with Zixi, we deliver a competitive viewing experience for our customers while easing operational efficiency.”
Valerio Motti, Zixi’s Managing Director in Europe, commented, “The DICE partnership expands the reach of the Zixi Enabled Network, allowing our joint customers to innovatively distribute and monetize their content with reliability and security.” explore.diceverse.io
