Introducing ViewNexa by Bitcentral — a modern video business tool that brings video management, distribution, and monetization capabilities to users “without the overhead of multiple platforms.”
As ViewNexa sees it, the product “empowers content owners to capitalize on the growing revenue opportunities of streaming and connects with audiences wherever they’re watching.”
ViewNexa provides a single unified workflow that simplifies video management and provides what ViewNexa calls a “manage once, distribute many solution.” It provides a content management system (CMS) for importing and organizing video, from video on demand (VOD) to live and free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels. “ViewNexa breaks the mold of complex, multi-vendor video workflows and empowers customers to build new, impactful business strategies based on diversifying audiences and revenues – all from a single, cost-effective, and time-efficient partner,” the company boasts.
The launch is timely, with the North American Internet TV market set to reach $107 billion in 2028, up from $49 billion in 2020, according to Digital TV Research. Subscription video on demand (SVOD) will create the most revenue, while ad-supported services will drive the majority of growth. Faced with an increasingly competitive marketplace, content owners need to support both approaches if they are to succeed. Usually, this requires separate workflows with multiple vendors and dedicated teams to support the hundreds of devices, or endpoints, that are available today.
ViewNexa customers benefit from managing their entire video strategy via a single trusted partner, which improves efficiency and nullifies the “vendor fatigue” usually associated with having a myriad of partners supporting multiple workflows and endpoints. It also provides a single source of measurement, which empowers content owners to experiment with different monetization models and find the best performing combination for their specific audience to maximize profitability.
A few key ViewNexa products include:
ViewNexa FAST: Seamlessly ingest live and VOD content to create new, automated live channels with server-side ad insertion (SSAI). Hundreds of endpoints are supported to grow audiences, including Amazon, TCL, LocalNow, NewsON, and Plex.
