New features on the Kyte Platform!

Posted by: Vera Sparre    Under: Product | Customers | Company |

Our partners have been very active this summer, leveraging the Kyte Platform in new and exciting ways to promote their brands and engage with fans. As we continue to see a steady and significant increase in traffic, we've taken steps to prepare for future growth by focusing our recent development efforts on performance optimization and architectural platform improvements. But that's not all we've done. Following are a few of the features and enhancements our users can expect with this release:

New Features

• In-show Overlay Ads – Partners can now display an overlay ad in the bottom 1/3 of the viewer canvas

• Show Production Ads – Partners can customize splash ads during show production (when uploading media)

• Kyte Mobile Media Optimizer – For partners that want to integrate Kyte media into their mobile web applications, Kyte Mobile Media Optimizer can be accessed via the public API to properly customize media transcodes for delivery to various mobile devices
• Portuguese Language Support - For our Latin American and European friends, Portuguese is now a language option.

Kyte Player Enhancements

• Channel Changer – Header text links can now be used to change the channel, allowing users to browse to content on other channels (such as a Fan channel)

• Clickable Channel Logo – Partners can add a hyperlink to their channel logo that directs users to any destination

• Load Performance Improvements – Player components are loaded on an as-needed basis and caching is improved to reduce initial load times.

Server Enhancements

• Performance optimizations, stability improvments, and support for increased server load.

We hope you enjoy these new features and welcome all feedback on how we can continue to improve the Kyte experience for you and your fans.

Thank you!
