IBC 2018 – Veset, the pioneer of true cloud playout for television, will showcase a new scheduling and planning software-as-a-service module, Veset Altos at IBC 2018, further strengthening Veset's powerful Nimbus cloud playout platform. Veset Altos is an entirely cloud-based linear channel scheduling system. It has a simple user interface, making it easy to use and can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows. As part of the Veset Nimbus cloud playout platform, it enables linear channels to move to a fully IP and cloud-based workflow for origination and distribution.
Traditional linear TV is facing a challenging environment right now. With the consumer appetite for all content everywhere and anywhere and an expectation of personalised and engaging services, linear TV is working hard to keep up. Many linear broadcasters are launching their own over-the-top services as well as increasing engagement with additional add on services. As this trend increases we will see even more use of new technology, such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in an effort to further enhance the user experience.
