The server locations of our cloud network are in Germany or within Europe. If technically necessary and only after prior agreement, we can add additional server locations (e.g. North America, Asia, etc.) for certain customer accounts.

We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and offer our customers an AV contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. You use paid and professional services. All offers are ad-free and user data is not collected or passed on to third parties.

²To create webcast projects, we offer direct access to contents of the IMS Media Server. In addition, we also support the integration of videos or live streams from other platforms or your own server systems.

* Re-Stream:

Your live stream will be forwarded by our servers to up to three (further on request) social media or video platforms. On site, only one live stream has to be encoded and sent to the IMS Media Server. The additional streaming destinations will be set up by us according to your specifications.

* Video List / Selection:
This feature scans the selected directories of your IMS Media Server and lists all videos relevant to them. Thumbnails are created and added along with text to designate each video title. The video list can be edited to add or delete individual (new) videos or to change the order of the listing. Ideal for creating a video selection of a “small” media portal.

*Live transcoding / Adaptive, Multibitrate Streaming:

Sever-sided, automated conversion of one (1x) live audio / video stream into three different streams. Each with optimized encoding parameters and keyframe rates. When delivering the video stream, the IMS player checks the Internet connection available to the viewer and delivers the stream at the best possible video size and quality.

$ Billing mode / additional costs:
³Live transcoding is set up on request for a live channel and an event day. For the transcoding of additional live channels or additional event days, € 99 / live channel will be charged.

Transcoding for on-demand videos is also possible on request.

*IMS Video Portal / E-Learning Module:

Sort any number of videos in individual lists with labels and thumbnails. Create video lists per event days, topic complexes, speakers, etc. or publish whole video archives.

We are happy to create individual video portal solutions as well as interfaces to shop, ERP or learning management systems. Depending on the functionality required, an additional setup fee may apply and the monthly usage and licensing fees may vary. We will gladly make you an individual offer.
