Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We have redesigned XIP/TV's website, the media distribution platform of the Xarxa Audiovisual Local (XAL), improving its performance and with a new video player which is compatible with HTML5 technology.

The website uses Ubiquo as content manager, which has been developed to enable cataloging, documenting and defining logical sections to videos while, in parallel, it performs the transcoding process. This minimizes the "wait time" and streamlines and automates the creation of content on the platform.
