Anvato Acquisition by Google Compared with EGLA CORP

An announcement was found today regarding ANVATO, one of the OTT Platforms in the market. Slideshare brings an interesting one-pager depicting what ANVATO is:

• An OTT Platform
• TV Everywhere
• Some Patents in encoding and transcoding

Main features include:

Clearly, MEDIAMPLIFY can be compared with ANVATO, indicating that we provides the same amount of features:

• Players – Apparently they have they own SDKs – However there are many open source players like FlowPlayer, VideoJS and many others that are compatible with m3u8, rtmp, even the jwPlayer with a $299 license can be resolved.
• Reporting : Clearly reporting is key, however Analytics are done mostly via Google and others, but data presentation and reporting is fine.
• Live Streaming: EGLA can handle hundreds if not thousands of live streams using Mediamplify.
• Video Encoding:  Codecs are kings, we offer both on-premice and in the cloud
• Cloud Editing:  We cannot do edition per-se, maybe CasperCG type of editing.
• Syndication: Playback facility works and syndication is available via MediaPlugs
• Subscriptions: Payments and authentications is done in the backend
• Ad insertion: Likewise, ads can be inserted anytime in the playback facility or in the player.

• We have the MEVIA APP both for IOS and Android
• Mediaplugs can generate music channels and provide a Pandora-like Experience
• Pandora-like experience with Metadata and content
