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