Azuki Systems Announces Support for Video Delivery to All Screens

Azuki Systems, the leader in the delivery of video to any screen over any network, today announced support for over-the-top (OTT) video delivery to gaming consoles, smart TVs and OTT-enabled set-top boxes, adding to its existing support for tablets, smartphones, desktops and PCs. Expanding to these popular devices helps Azuki extend its lead in the fast-growing OTT video delivery market. Azuki is now the only company to support carrier-class OTT optimized video on all screens and devices.

"This is a huge advantage for any media company, enterprise or service provider that is looking to drive new revenue streams and improve customer satisfaction," said John Clancy, president and CEO of Azuki Systems. "Unlike first generation OTT offerings that were incomplete and slow to market, the Azuki Media Platform enhances the power of OTT delivery with quality, scalability, and security to the broadest set of devices."

The Azuki Media Platform™ provides a consistent user experience across any screen, powerful studio-approved content protection across all devices, and superior video quality under any network condition. Azuki's unique standards-based video delivery architecture enables companies to capture real-time statistics from every device and implement multiple monetization schemes, including authentication, subscription, ad-supported and pay-per-view. With Azuki, leading companies can now quickly deploy a comprehensive and highly scalable OTT solution in under 90 days.

"The numbers and variety of Over-The-Top (OTT) devices on the market is growing rapidly, with the addressable market for OTT video on connected consumer electronics, smartphone and tablet devices growing from the tens of millions to the hundreds of millions of devices in the U.S. alone," said Greg Ireland, consumer video analyst with IDC (News - Alert). "Companies are challenged to find a secure and scalable way to deliver high-quality video to these powerful devices and keep up with consumer demand. There's a clear market need to simplify and provide consistent user experiences across all the OTT devices."
