PLUM · IPTV & OTT SOFTWARE

Plum IPTV
and OTT

A modular software platform for delivering live and recorded video across TV, mobile and web applications.

Developed by Network Manager, Plum enables telecom operators and ISPs to launch and develop IPTV and OTT services. It also supports content owners who want to distribute their video through their own OTT service.

Use the complete platform or select the components your service needs. We help define the solution, integrate it with your existing systems and support its implementation and ongoing operation.

A FEATURE OF THE PLUM PLATFORM
CATCH-UP, DISCOVERED BY INTEREST

Buffet.

Discover recorded TV by what you want to watch

Buffet turns catch-up TV into a browsable content library. Previously broadcast programmes are organised into categories such as films, series, sport, news and documentaries, so viewers can find what interests them without knowing which channel broadcast it or when.

The service provider defines categories through the administration panel. Where suitable EPG data is available, categories can be divided further into subcategories, such as football, basketball and athletics, or individual film genres.

By making content available through a visual, category-based library, Buffet brings a video-on-demand style of discovery to catch-up TV. Viewers choose by interest rather than searching a channel and time grid.

Content availability remains subject to the catch-up retention period and the rights held by the service provider.
