Amagi and Phenix have joined forces to enhance the streaming experience, introducing cutting-edge, low-latency technology for seamless ad insertion that brings viewers closer to live action than ever before. Their collaboration promises to revolutionize free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) and live events by delivering real-time streaming with subsecond latency. This means viewers will no longer have to worry about spoilers from social media as they can enjoy an unmatched, “see it first” experience. By integrating Amagi’s automation and scheduling capabilities with Phenix’s real-time streaming, content owners can offer smooth ad monetization alongside crystal-clear video.
Adding to this powerful partnership, Bitmovin steps in with its new Player Web X, ensuring flawless video playback on any device. Its open-source plugin system makes it easy for streaming providers to integrate and maintain high-quality performance. By supporting Phenix’s real-time server-side ad insertion (SSAI), Bitmovin ensures uninterrupted, top-tier playback while ads are seamlessly inserted in real time.
This collaboration between Amagi and Phenix now enables Amagi to push content from its CLOUDPORT scheduling system directly into Phenix’s global real-time streaming network, which spans over 34 points of presence. The result is a smooth, subsecond delivery of content. Additionally, Amagi’s advanced ad technology integrates with Phenix’s real-time SSAI to offer personalized ads without disrupting the viewing experience.
