Kaltura has announced that its open source video platform has been selected by Dori Media Group to power Novebox.com, an online community dedicated to telenovelas.
Novebox also features the new telenovela, 'Amanda O', produced specially for the site, said Kaltura.
Kaltura added that it worked with Dori Media to create custom video applications to fit its specific needs, based on the Kaltura open source framework. Using Kaltura's open source video platform for video management, creation, interaction and collaboration, pleople can share and interact in media, watch episodes of 'Amanda O', and even remix their own episodes - by mashing up scenes, adding media and choosing alternative endings.
Ehud Levy, CEO of Dori Media Web, said: "In order to launch Novebox and 'Amanda O', we needed a reliable video platform with interactive capabilities including uploading, remixing and video management in addition to social network-related features like moderation, rating, multi-lingual support and user-related permissions."
Ron Yekutiel, chairman and CEO of Kaltura, said: "It's a real honor to be working with one of the world's largest companies for telenovelas. Dori Media is proving to be a pioneer in its space with their revolutionary concept of an online, interactive show. This is the perfect example of a traditional media company leveraging the internet to enhance user engagement. Kaltura's extensive and flexible video platform is a perfect solution for any site - large or small."
