Visual Unity Introduces Middle East To Its Award-Winning vuMedia Multiscreen platform
CABSAT 2012, Dubai 28 Feb – 1 March, Hall 1, Stand S1.C20

11 January 2012. Prague, London, Dubai: Leading Broadcast and Multiscreen System Integrator Visual Unity will use CABSAT 2012 (Stand S1.C20) to highlight vuMedia^TM, its integrated content and delivery framework that allows broadcasters to effectively deliver and monetise content in the multiscreen environment.

At the show, Visual Unity will demonstrate how vuMedia^TM helps manage, automate and monitor multiscreen delivery.  Through four highly robust and scalable modules, it delivers a cutting-edge web-based and mobile viewing experience, comprehensive VOD services and secure distribution – all of which can be seamlessly deployed into existing workflows:

• vuChannel^TM for web-based and mobile viewing, fully integrated into the station backend;
• vuDemand^TM for comprehensive VOD services, including billing & reporting;
• vuMobile^TM for mobile content and applications;
• vuNet^TM providing secure content control over distribution and user-experience management.

“We are excited to showcase the full capabilities of the vuMedia^TM platform, particularly the vuMobile^TM module, which provides mobile-optimised content and enhanced video, with application and interactive marketing tools, to effectively engage mobile audiences“ says Visual Unity’s CEO, Jakub Kabourek.

Especially relevant to Middle East broadcasters is vuNet^TM, which provides a robust and secure infrastructure to effectively ingest, manage, monetise and distribute assets.  vuNet connects seamlessly with global CDNs and cloud-based services. However, in regions such as the Middle East where cloud access is unavailable, expensive or may be unfavourable to the content owner, clients can benefit from Visual Unity’s own Content Delivery Network (CDN), with a current installed capacity of more than 100 Gbps and almost 400 TB storage space. Capable of supporting tens-of-thousands of concurrent users, the CDN provides coverage across Europe and Central Europe, including Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania and Visual Unity has recently established pops in Dubai, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Kabourek concludes: “With pops now across the Middle East, Visual Unity’s CDN is effectively supporting the development of more regionally executed services, delivering a much-improved user experience and securing the future of multiscreen broadcasting in the region.”

With more than 20 years’ experience of Broadcast and Multiscreen System Integration including the design and delivery of turnkey TV systems, broadcast-IT convergent and multiscreen solutions for global brands, Visual Unity helps broadcasters bridge the gap between traditional broadcast and new media systems, enabling them to integrate web and mobile delivery into existing workflows and improve operational performance.

Visual Unity will be showcasing its leading integration capabilities and demonstrating the vuMedia^TM platform at CABSAT 2012, 28-February- 1 March, Sheikh Saeed Hall 1, Stand S1.C20.
