KIT Video Platform Architecture

The KIT Video Platform’s broadcast-grade, open architecture enables us to deliver highly customized solutions that meet the demands of the world’s most advanced and large-scale broadband video deployments.

The platform architecture employs extensible components and exposes functionality via standards-based APIs (application programming interfaces). This core methodology provides a flexible deployment model that includes cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud options, while allowing the platform to be easily extended through the addition of new components, as well as integration with third-party solutions.
