What Is Needed for Launching a Digital Cinema?
First of all, you should decide which type of system deployment fits you:
We use our own management system Telebreeze Middleware, a full-featured tool for managing IPTV/OTT business. Through the Middleware a service provider manages content and subscribers, DRM, monetization services, statistics, subscribers' personal areas.
Multiplatform player supports all of the most popular users platforms: Smart TVs, set-top-boxes, mobile devices, PC, media players — Roku, Amazon FireTV.
Telebreeze VoD Server is a program package for the content preparation and distribution which allows the viewer to watch the content in good quality from any end-user device — Smart TV, tablet, smartphone — regardless of place, time and internet-connection speed.
Content Delivery Network (CDN) — is a geographically distributed group of servers for fast data transmission (HTML-pages, JavaScript files, style sheets, images and videos) needed for the internet-content downloading.
- On the cloud;
- On your premises;
- Mixed structure (management system is offered from the cloud, but VoD and streaming servers are installed on premises).

What Else Can We Do at This Stage?
Together with you, we determine the business model of the service – SVoD, TVoD, AVoD or another.
- AVoD (Advertising Video on Demand) – the content is offered for free with advertising while watching.
- SVoD (Subscription Video on Demand) – paid content by subscriptions. The user buys a subscription and watches all the included content.
- TVoD (Transactional Video on Demand) – the content is rented for the certain time period or number of views.
