LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jan 19, 2015) - iStreamPlanet, the leader in live, announced today the availability of a new whitepaper by media industry analyst Sam Rosen of ABI Research that introduces a joint, multiscreen live video workflow from iStreamPlanet and Adobe. ABI Research's Sam Rosen will be moderating a webinar on January 28th with iStreamPlanet and Adobe to discuss the joint workflow.
Based on the live video workflow the companies built for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, the integrated multiscreen workflow is now available to pay TV operators, broadcasters, and content owners ready to deliver premium live streaming events and channels to connected devices.

"We're seeing a transformation in the multiscreen workflow, from capital intensive systems to flexible, cloud solutions and services that enable content distributors and owners to deploy services more quickly," said Sam Rosen, Practice Director, TV & Video at ABI Research. "iStreamPlanet and Adobe have embraced the SaaS model, integrating their services to drive down the cost and complexity associated with TV everywhere deployments."
"Adobe and iStreamPlanet are working together to integrate key client and server side technologies, including ad insertion and ad decisioning, to make it easier for our premium content customers to launch multiscreen solutions that meet viewer expectations and business requirements," said Campbell Foster, director of product marketing at Adobe.
