The combination of the NeuLion TVE Platform with Deluxe OnDemand™ creates a compelling interactive digital movie store service offering retailers, service providers, and content owners with a powerful solution to drive revenue from over-the-top (OTT) storefronts and cloud-based entertainment.
The Deluxe OnDemand and NeuLion integrated platforms combine award-winning interactive consumer applications and platform consumer device independence with an extensive catalog of pre-encoded and pre-packaged video content of new releases, blockbuster titles, popular television series, favorite classics and more, available for streaming or download. The solution offers entertainment store operators fast branded storefronts that will give their consumers an intuitive discovery interface, simple pay flows for purchasing and merchandizing, all on multiple platforms and connected devices.
“Our joint development effort with NeuLion delivers an end-to-end turnkey solution,” said Kevin Corbett, President of Deluxe Digital Distribution. “This enables customers to get to market faster with an extensive catalog of titles ready for multiscreen distribution.”
