Streamlined Live-to-VOD Workflow - live streams seamlessly transition to VOD within the same video player there's no need to re-ingest the recording, swap the player embed code or lose one second of playback and monetization as live event value is extended to a VOD asset.
Live Clipping allows customers to clip small segments of the live stream for VOD publishing during the live broadcast.
Kaltura became a market leader with its unique open source model, cutting-edge tools and comprehensive services to simplify the creation of engaging video experiences, said Wowza CEO and co-founder David Stubenvoll. The addition of Wowza Streaming Engine provides a scalable live streaming solution to enable Kaltura to meet the growing demand for live video with an integrated, elegant solution that provides the best possible user experience for both Kaltura customers and their audiences.
