Bitmovin Player handles high-performance, adaptive video playback, while Enveu manages content, subscriptions, user access, and the end-to-end OTT experience across devices.
End-to-end flow:
- Content & Rights Management (Enveu) : Content is ingested and managed in Enveu CMS, where metadata, availability, geo-rules, and monetization are defined.
- App & Experience Layer (Enveu) : Enveu powers branded apps (Web, Mobile, Smart TVs) and controls layouts, carousels, playlists, and user journeys via Experience Manager.
- Video Playback (Bitmovin Player) : Enveu apps embed the Bitmovin Player for playback, enabling fast startup, adaptive bitrate streaming, DRM-protected content, and device-optimized performance.
- Monetization & Access Control (Enveu) : Enveu enforces subscriptions, entitlements, passes, or free access before playback begins.
- Playback Insights (Bitmovin Analytics + Enveu) : Bitmovin Player collects playback QoE data (startup time, buffering, errors), which can be used alongside Enveu’s platform data for operational and business insights.
A scalable, enterprise-grade OTT solution where Enveu orchestrates the platform and user experience, and Bitmovin Player ensures best-in-class video playback quality across all supported devices.
