OREANDA-NEWS. November 19, 2015. Imagen Ltd, a leading video management platform provider, introduces new subscription services including extensive features and functionality with the latest generation of Imagen's Online Video Platform. It allows content owners, such as independent production companies and sports associations, to increase revenue by building their own online TV channel or educational video service.  This opens video on-demand (VOD) to niche communities and businesses, rather than exclusively to big players like Netflix, iPlayer or Amazon.

Imagen lets content owners publish their videos via their own branded channel with all the controls they need to create tailored subscription packages, set access levels, pricing, and billing intervals, according to their audiences' varied preferences.

Tom Blake, Chief Executive Officer of Imagen, said: "I am a massive fan of streaming services, watching what I want, when I want; but where can I go to watch all the matches from my county cricket team, football club or live performances of my favourite indie bands?  Content and organisations I'd be willing to support and pay, were their videos made available in a simple to use online VOD player."

"At Imagen we want to change all this and allow fans to engage with their favourite sports, allow clubs and independent production companies to enjoy a revenue stream which they can re-invest in preserving their video archives or connecting with the next generation."

Latest Imagen features and benefits

Besides heightened web accessibility, improved social media embedding, and further security, Imagen's latest Online Video Platform also:

·     Saves time with instant workflow notification: content owners with particularly large amounts of video can save valuable time with Imagen's instant email notification function that informs them when a workflow, such as uploading a new video, is finished.

·     Offers better promotion through easy thumbnail creation: previously only available to administrators, custom thumbnails let users convert the most enticing video images to poster frames and thumbnails in seconds, helping to promote and sell their content to viewers.

·     Provides other customisable subscription options: from creating premium content to flexible prices and currencies as well as applying content right management according to region. They can also configure an automated trial period within a subscription and delay payment from the user until after a certain amount of time.
