MediaKind’s MK.IO platform features low latency streaming with dynamic ad insertion

MediaKind, a provider of media technology services and solutions, has unveiled low latency streaming with dynamic advertising and blackout support to MK.IO, its cloud streaming platform. Leveraging the Low Latency HLS and DASH standard, MK.IO reduces latency by 75% and continues to support standards-based dynamic ad insertion (DAI), blackouts, and DRM security for premium content providers.

MK.IO comes pre-integrated with multiple CDN providers, video players, and popular ad decision servers. This unique combination of low latency, security, and targeted advertising makes MK.IO a prime choice for operators, content owners, and sports teams who want to monetize live video at scale.

“We are thrilled to introduce this update to MK.IO, as it represents a significant advancement in our streaming technology and empowers our customers to deliver a premium user experience they can monetize,” said Cory Zachman, SVP of Engineering and Services at MediaKind. “We’ve built MK.IO for high viewership events by providing the ability to prefetch ad decisions and auto-scale our infrastructure in the cloud. All this is achieved without sacrificing MediaKind’s trusted picture quality and security.”

MediaKind’s latest update is available on request for existing MK.IO customers. MediaKind will be in attendance at this year’s NAB Show, taking place in Las Vegas from April 13th through April 17th.
