Saffron Digital removes the complexity and reduces the cost of launching a premium multi-platform video service.

It's Stage platform is a truly end to end online video platform specifically designed to manage and deliver the highest quality premium content to any connected device. Built on proven technology, it combines in one place all

the tools you need to launch a premium multi-platform entertainment service, including content preparation, content management, storefront services, payment and authentication, application design and development and a secure player. These tools work together to provide an end to end solution or can be integrated as individual modules into your existing service.

Saffron Digital has been focused on providing secure video content delivery and retail services for premium digital content, since its inception eight years ago and Stage is designed to automate and simplify the ingestion, management and provision of content across multiple platforms and retail models. It is DRM-agnostic and supports EST, VOD, Live TV, and subscription services.

Because of its modular architecture, Stage can be accessed in a number of ways:

• MainStage - a SaaS-based ‘out-of-the-box’ OTT solution.

• MainStage UV - an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for the management and delivery of UltraViolet (UV).

• BackStage - a custom built content management system for scheduling, pricing and promotion of your service across multiple retail models.

• StagePlay - a customisable player that uses our multi-DRM approach to securely deliver content to any device in the highest possible quality.

• StageCraft - a content preparation system that automates the ingestion, profiling, transcoding, packaging and encryption of content.
