Your own professional OTT platform at a fraction of the cost. Live, on-demand, world coverage, multilingual, from smartphone to smart TV.

AudiencePlayer and Jet-Stream have launched a strategic partnership to provide customers with professional OTT services. With the partnership, AudiencePlayer migrates from Microsoft Azure to Jet-Stream Cloud for improved performance, uptime and support and better world coverage.

The integration of Jet-Stream and AudiencePlayer allows both parties to offer a unique premium OTT service for both live and on-demand content with AVOD, SVOD, PVOD and FAST revenue models and extensive multilingualism.

Your own (live) videos behind a paywall.

Make money with your own video platform. Whether you want to offer a movie service, fitness video training, TV channel apps, paid live event portal or a professional educational video platform, it’s all possible with AudiencePlayer and Jet-Stream. More than 150 professional content creators and operators are already using AudiencePlayer’s fast-growing innovative platform from the Netherlands and have a recurring, growing, profitable video service.

Full control, full reach.

For each video and livestream, you determine whether it is available for free, behind login, paid with ads or by subscription. Your videos are protected with DRM encryption and there are various forms of payment and subscription, including vouchers. Thanks to the integrated web portal and apps for IOS, Android, LG and Samsung, you have a very wide reach, from cell phones to the largest flat screens on which your content comes to life.

Breakthrough in simplicity and cost savings.

Where building a custom Netflix, HBO+, Videoland or Disney+ environment easily costs millions, AudiencePlayer offers a PaaS environment at an affordable monthly fee. In no time, you can easily upload, manage, publish and monetize videos. The service includes a comprehensive video CMS, payment services, user management, web portal, mobile apps and smart TV apps, integrations and APIs to create a completely unique and consistent brand experience and user experience across all devices.

AudiencePlayer migrates to Jet-Stream Cloud.

To scale ahead, AudiencePlayer has migrated its platform to the also Dutch Jet-Stream Cloud. In Jet-Stream, AudiencePlayer found a partner that not only offers very high uptime and performance, but also better global coverage with multiple CDNs that also provide coverage in countries in Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and even China, and a professional team that continues to develop the platform.

Doron Nethe, CEO AudiencePlayer: “After an RFP process, we selected Jet-Stream. In particular, the infrastructure benefits help keep our rates affordable for our customers”.

“Also, the partnership with Jet-Stream allows us to implement innovations, including Jet-Stream‘s ability to facilitate live streams in our platform, which gives content creators additional opportunities to give their viewers exclusive access to events, festivals and product launches“.

“In addition, Jet-Stream has an intelligent ad engine that allows our customers to offer a hybrid form of ad-supported, paid and subscription formats“.

“With Jet-Stream, we can scale to medium and large customers who want more control over work processes such as encoding, transcoding, packaging, multi-CDN, DRM and analytics themselves“.

Premium OTT services thanks to Jet-Stream.

Jet-Stream is introducing an OTT service to its customers based on AudiencePlayer technology. These can easily load their existing video libraries and streams and offer them directly via portals, mobile apps and smart TVs. It is in line with Jet-Stream’s strategy to be not only a high-end technical platform that saves money and time, but also a service that makes money for customers.

Stef van der Ziel, CEO Jet-Stream: “We had an OTT service on the roadmap, but developing something like this ourselves is very costly and time-consuming. When we came into contact with AudiencePlayer, we immediately knew that this is going to help our clients quickly and affordably unlock their existing video archive and new material to web, mobile and the big screen.

They can tie revenue models to this, whether it’s member exclusivity, lead generation, paying viewers per title or subscriptions. The pricing is disruptive. We are impressed with the ease of use and professionalism. For our customers, it is very nice that they can work with APIs and integrate the service into their own environments. The additions of live streams, coverage in emerging markets, ads and AI-generated multilingualism in audio and subtitles make this a very competitive service with features we haven’t seen anywhere else”.
