Kaltura, the Video Experience Cloud, announced, that as part of their expanded partnership with Israeli commercial broadcaster Reshet 13, they have powered Reshet’s full Cloud TV service, launched in just three months.
The second biggest channel in Israel, Reshet reaches over a third of Israeli households every day, more than 1 million viewers per day, and more than 3.5 million unique visitors on their digital platforms per month.
As part of Reshet 13’s digital video strategy, Kaltura is powering multiple frontend devices, including Smart-TVs, Android-TV, AppleTV and others, as well as SVOD and AVOD solutions, an advanced media-oriented mini-EPG, and more. Additional capabilities, including Quality of Experience analytics, data insights, personalization, AI capabilities and more are expected to be added in the coming months, along with availability for more devices. The solution is based on Kaltura’s Streaming Platform.
Reshet 13’s new Cloud TV solution is a key part of the company’s TV digital evolution, in which Kaltura has been a partner since late 2020 when it was selected to power Reshet 13’s D2C streaming service. Operating on an ambitious timeline, Kaltura migrated over 170,000 content assets to Reshet 13’s new platform and had the new service fully operational in under six weeks.
