Videoscape Unity: Connecting Experiences. Your Way.

As the video landscape evolves, service providers and media companies face new competitive challenges. Online video services are eroding profitability by delivering low-cost video content to new screens and devices. At the same time, the premium content that consumers crave is becoming more expensive.

To compete in today's marketplace, you need to offer multiscreen video services. But to continue winning the bidding for the best premium content, you also need to build unique and compelling experiences around that content, and monetize it in new ways.

Cisco Videoscape Unity is the platform for delivering and monetizing a new generation of compelling, differentiated video experiences. It is the next generation of the Cisco Videoscape platform, now strengthened and enhanced with solutions and expertise from NDS that bring powerful new capabilities across cloud, networks, and clients.

Cisco Videoscape Unity lets you unleash a new generation of video experiences that are:

Multiscreen: Take multiscreen experiences to the next level by delivering video in a more exciting, immersive, and engaging way.
Synchronized: Push contextual content and targeted ads related to TV programming to companion devices in real time.
Personalized: Make it easy for viewers to find content they want with personalized discovery and recommendations based on social connections, analytics, and user profiles.
Social: Use social networks to bring people together and deepen viewer engagement with virtual viewing parties, real-time IM, and video chats around linear video and more.
