Christian Cinema Integrates Aspera On Demand to Speed Submissions of Christian Films for Video On Demand Service
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Aspera's Cloud-Based File Transfer Offering Enables Filmmakers to Send Their
Large Media Files Directly to the Cloud at High Speed
ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced
that Christian Cinema, which hosts the largest selection of Christian films on
the internet, has completed an integration of high-speed file transfer
technology from Aspera, an IBM company, into their cloud-based content
management platform. The integration of Aspera's patented FASP(®) technology
will enable filmmakers to submit their videos directly to the cloud at high
speed and with strong security.
Christian Cinema built their own video platform in house, leveraging cloud
infrastructure to combine all of the pieces of their media distribution workflow
in one centralized location - including content ingest, encoding, storage and
streaming to the final consumer. To supplement this Video On Demand (VOD)
platform, Christian Cinema selected Aspera's Application Platform On Demand to
allow filmmakers and distributors to send large video files to the cloud in a
secure and fast manner.
Using the Aspera SDK, Christian Cinema embedded Aspera FASP into their custom
VOD platform, creating a seamless end-to-end video management experience for
their content suppliers. Filmmaking partners that have signed a licensing
agreement with Christian Cinema can go to their individual account page to
upload the titles and add any metadata, artwork, pricing and trailers.
"If we've got a release date coming and a distributor wants to get their film
launched, we need to receive the video file and get it encoded right away.
Aspera is a critical part of that process. Our workflow doesn't work without
it," said Jared Geesey, Vice President of Christian Cinema.
Security is extremely important to indie filmmakers and Hollywood studios alike,
as piracy is a huge concern in the film business. With Aspera On Demand,
filmmakers are logging in, and sending their content, to a trusted platform. The
solution is also easy to use, which is particularly important for the
distributors with dozens or even hundreds of movies to submit.
"Christian Cinema was looking for a solution that would fit neatly within their
fully cloud-based workflow. Aspera On Demand enables Christian Cinema to realize
the full benefits of the cloud, unlocking the scalable storage and processing
capabilities with high-speed, on demand transfers directly to the cloud," said
Jay Migliaccio, director of cloud platforms and services, Aspera.
