Mongol TV OTT Service Uses
Brightcove OTT Flow Streaming
B

rightcove, a leading provider
of Cloud services for video,
announced that Mongol TV, Mongolia's
leading free to air TV channel, has
launched ORI TV, a new OTT streaming
service utilising Brightcove OTT Flow,
powered by Accedo.
ORI TV is the first and only Mongolian
language OTT service delivering ondemand and live TV content to viewers
worldwide.
ORI TV was developed by Mongol TV
with an ambition to provide a onestop destination for its viewers to
stream local TV content including live
events, sports, entertainment, festivals
and local versions of US franchise
shows such as The Voice Mongolia,
Mongolia's Got Talent and Shark Tank
Mongolia. The service is available via
subscription, on the web, iOS, and
Android.
"Our ambition with ORI TV was to
delight our viewers with the best live
and on-demand OTT video streaming
experience and we knew that only

a market leader in OTT TV
solutions could power that
kind of experience. Therefore,
it was an easy decision to
select Brightcove because of
their OTT Flow solution, which
simplified the complexities
associated with OTT streaming
and accelerated our time to
market. Brightcove's OTT Flow
came equipped with all of
the features we were looking
for: ease of use and setup,
optimised for any device,
stunning
user
interface,
affordable price point, and a strong
Asia-based support team," Bat-Erdene
Gankhuyag, CEO of Mongol TV, said.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with
Mongol TV as our first customer in
Mongolia to launch an OTT service in
the country. This is another example
of a great use case for Brightcove as
we expand our customer base across
the Asia region," Ben Morrell, General
Manager, Asia, Brightcove, said.

ORI TV launched globally

"Broadcasters are starting to package
live and on-demand content into their
OTT services. Our out-of-the-box OTT
Flow solution helped Mongol TV launch
its service in record time and with little
upfront cost. As a result, broadcasters
like Mongol TV can focus on what
they do best - bringing the best in TV
programming to viewers worldwide."
Brightcove is deeply focused on
helping media organisations deliver
amazing viewing experiences, as well

as increasing revenue and reducing
the costs associated with online video.
OTT Flow, which enables media
organisations like ORI TV to rapidly
deploy high-quality live and ondemand video across platforms,
addresses all three of these objectives.
ORI TV monetises its SVOD content
using
subscriber
management
technology from Cleeng, which
OTT Flow utilises as its subscriber
management functionality.
