Workflow orchestration platform for seamless VOD delivery
What is CP-VOD?
CP-VOD is a cloud-based orchestration platform to seamlessly manage an entire VOD asset processing workflow, right from content ingest to delivering VOD assets for a multitude of OTT and vMVPD platforms. It offers operational superiority based on complete automation of media processing capabilities. Unlike traditional media processing workflows, CP-VOD’s simple web UI gives a birds-eye view of key workflow parameters such as asset ingest, transcoding and asset delivery. It supports industry-standard ingest formats including mRSS / ADI and metadata in CSV format.
The platform allows the user to access key workflow processes with real-time alerts, high-level view of assets in different workflows, quick idea of system-health and the agility to deep-dive into specific issues. CP-VOD is a state-of-the-art VOD workflow orchestration platform available today that can ingest all industry-preferred formats for audio, video, and subtitles. Its automated QC capabilities can validate feeds, ingest sources and delivery packages to ensure there are no SLA violations. CP-VOD can generate delivery output in multiple formats and deliver broadcast-grade VOD assets to multiple vMVPD platforms simultaneously using a unified web-UI.
Benefits
- Real-time alerts for a bird’s-eye view over multiple VOD workflows

What can you use CP-VOD for?
Media Ingest
Access all the asset information, source components and attributes like duration, type, genre, and ingest date. You can view real time status related to QC, asset validation, metadata, and the readiness for distribution. You can also select assets and archive them for long-term preservation
Media processing
Media processing shows the individual platforms which are attributed to the corresponding assets for delivery and indicates the media profiles such as HLS or ProRes. It also gives real-time status of the output media package including AV, statics, and closed captions
VOD asset distribution
You can distribute VOD packages and streams to multiple vMVPD platforms and keep track of the entire process related to delivery and track the asset packages and status of delivery to the platforms.
