Additionally, cable and IPTV operators can deploy an entire genre of programming with a click acquisition and are given tools to filter and sort content by programmer, rating and popularity.
Also, TV providers are provided a host of Web-based features -- not available anywhere else, said company officials. These features include ability to preview content within the publishing and management platform, and dynamic adjustment of settings to ensure the content ingest is aligned with performance of a particular package.
This flexibility enables operators to customize their content offerings by city, system or neighborhood as frequently as they want and as easily as clicking a mouse, said officials.
Clearleap said that it will offer professionally packaged content in ten of the highest performing genres of programming, including Comedy, Pop-Culture, Music, Sports, Science and Nature, Lifestyle, and Best of the Web packages.
The company indicated that it has plans to expand into categories such as instructional, travel and cooking in the coming weeks.
