MediaKind has announced its MK.IO platform has been deployed by Comcast.
Hosted on the Azure Media Cloud, MediaKind’s MK.IO live SaaS video personalisation solution integrates Skreens Technology Inc’s compositing technology. The solution has been selected by Comcast to power its Xfinity Multiview on X1, which enables users to view up to four live events on the same screen simultaneously.
Announced last October, the deployment marks the first commercial launch of the collaboration. With resiliency based on geo redundancy, MK.IO Multiview delivers hundreds of live channels and millions of viewing hours, said the company.
Cory Zachmann, CTO at MediaKind, said, “We are proud to be part of these new immersive experiences initiated by Xfinity. We’re seeing first-hand how scalable, personalised live viewing is transforming audience engagement and the direct impact of our cloud-based architectures designed into MK.IO.”
Marc Todd, CEO, and Co-Founder of Skreens, added: “The future of live sports experiences is here for fans interested in fantasy sports, sports wagering, or simply wanting to follow multiple games at once. With our dynamic multiview technology integrated into MK.IO, viewers can track events concurrently, creating a truly unique and personalised way for them to experience their favourite games like never before.”
