OTT video streaming is very versatile. While the multitude of connected devices require device specific optimizations, each service has their own specific requirements. At Castlabs, we employ publicly available specs to create transparency and customization that helps you to have an open access to the tools you need in order to create personalized experiences. Being able to adopt as many features as possible besides cosmetic UI changes, not only helps fulfill end-customer expectations, but also enables you to take your video streaming to the next level.
There are many OTT video streaming services available to users, many of which provide a similar set of features. It’s necessary to build on a flexible technological basis which enables quick iterations and inspires experiments with user experiences. Player SDKs give you tools to create engaging and fully immersive experiences for the viewers to stick around.
Benefits
Having a feature-rich player SDK allows you to spend less time and money on development and focus more on taking content to market. SDKs with a high level of customization and flexibility provide functionality that is already built into it without the need to do it yourself. Using the same player framework across different platforms also allows seamless performance across each screen reaching all potential viewers with the same content.
