Cloud Video Platform

Digital-first content management and delivery

Cloud Video Platform at a glance

Cloud Video Platform (CVP) is a managed service from Comcast Technology Solutions that ingests, manages, protects, monetizes and delivers live and on-demand video to any device. Streaming services, broadcasters and MVPDs use it to run AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, linear and live event businesses from one platform.

Manage live and on-demand video from one platform

Today’s media business operates in real time across a near-infinite combination of device types, services, and viewing experiences. Cloud Video Platform brings it all together into a managed service that provides brands with a simple, unified way to control, scale, and improve their entire media enterprise.

Flexible monetization for AVOD, SVOD, TVOD and live

The Cloud Video Platform (CVP) simplifies the management, monetization and publishing of video to any device, any destination, from anywhere. We offer end-to-end and modular solutions that save both time to market and minimize the total cost of deployment. The CVP enables flexible monetization and optimizes workflows, as well as media distribution across on-demand (AVOD, SVOD, TVOD), live events, linear channels, OTT services, and syndication. Plus, server-side ad insertion (SSAI) protects the quality of your playback – and your advertising – at the same time.

Advanced workflow & distribution

Streamline your content delivery to thousands of screens.

Asset management

Protect assets with multi-DRM & enhance discovery with unified metadata.

Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) monetization

Generate more revenue from your entire content library.

Cloud Video Platform for MVPDs and pay TV operators

MVPDs and operators use Cloud Video Platform to run live channels, VOD, and streaming apps from one managed service. Your subscribers expect their TV service on every screen they own. CVP gets you there without building and maintaining a separate streaming stack.

One workflow for live and on-demand

Manage linear channels, live events, and VOD libraries in one place. Your team no longer has to juggle a separate tool for each.

Offers that keep up with your bundles

Run subscription, ad-supported, and transactional offers side by side. Build base packages and add-on bundles, run promotions, and let either CVP or your own billing system own the customer relationship.

Protection for the rights you pay for

Built-in multi-DRM for FairPlay, Widevine, and PlayReady, precomputed entitlements, and programmable concurrency rules help you enforce every rights deal, from household stream limits to territorial restrictions on live sports.

Metadata that helps subscribers find more to watch

VideoAI enriches metadata and marks chapters and ad breaks automatically. Discovery gets easier for viewers, and your ad team gets cleaner break points to sell against.

AI applications built for real-world media operations

CTS is developing AI-powered workflow applications designed to address practical needs across the content lifecycle, from preparing assets for new platforms to improving discovery, quality, and monetization.

Content protection and watermarking for premium video

As premium VOD and live sports drive greater revenue, they also attract greater risk. Content leakage and piracy can erode value in real time.

Learn how digital watermarking adds a critical layer of accountability across your OTT ecosystem, enabling faster detection, stronger enforcement, and the ability to trace leaks back to their source without disrupting the viewer experience.
