Improving monetisation opportunities through ad implementation has now been streamlined for Nimbus users, with the addition of the latest updates.

Multiple events in a playlist can now quickly and easily have SCTE on and off triggers added or removed as needed, thanks to the addition of bulk SCTE trigger actions.

Nimbus users can stream playouts in portrait modes such as 9:16, optimising footage for viewing on mobile phone screens. This is a principal step in reaching and maintaining viewership of the large and growing number of people viewing content on mobile.

DavidThompson, Chief Product Officer, Veset, commented: With more and more users now choosing to view content on mobile and expecting studio quality production, it is now more important than ever that playout is offered in a smooth, polished and convenient way. At the same time, video content providers need to be able to easily and efficiently monetise their content across platforms.These updates are aimed at making that easy for any content provider.

More features of this update include support for Main Concept encoding, in addition to X265, for HEVC distribution and direct support for URLs for live event feeds in a playlist. Nimbus users will no longer have to create a new live input source when adding URLs to live event feeds whilst now having access to faster 4K and 8K processing in high codec quality.
