LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 24, 2022 / Artemis Ave LLC has partnered with MOGO to deliver a custom gaming platform which is planned provide a dynamic social engagement for the Indian university esports market. This new platform is planned to feature ZuCasa's video ‘Casas' that will allow users to interact with HD video and audio in private digital suites while they play games, watch tournaments or even Youtube, all made possible by ZuCasa's proprietary EVE compression that can reduce file size by as much as 65%.
"ZuCasa is about community, delivering unique video features that give people a chance to enjoy content and each other," said ZuCasa CEO Gregory Butler. "Adapting our technology for esports is a natural fit, and it's exciting to be working with MOGO to create a platform for the Indian University National Championship and the 800+ universities they represent."
"MOGO is an incredible use case for EVE and all of our video capabilities," said Anthony Rennert, CTO of ZuCasa and creator of EVE. "Although the broadband infrastructure is improving, addressing the roughly 37 million university students, not to mention friends, family and esports fans in general is something that requires a bespoke, next gen solution." Anthony previously led Howard Stern's digital team and has worked with or acted as a consultant to Cogent, Time Warner, China Telecom, Qwest, Tata and many others.
The companies believe that this approach will allow MOGO to capture a portion of the KMPG-projected $1.2 billion yearly in-game ad revenue for their market in 202_.
"With our current tournament schedule engaging over 200 universities contending in the 70 tournaments we have slated for the 2022/2023 academic year, MOGO management sees great opportunities for serving ads and branding placements to this highly desirable demographic," said Sunny Bhandarkar, head of MOGO's Indian subsidiary, MOGO Esports Pvt. Ltd.
The EVE Network Engine Optimizer (NEO) reduces the bandwidth needed to transmit high quality video by more than half, benefiting network operations, content distribution and content ownership. By multiplying the capacity on existing infrastructure and lowering costs throughout the workflow, EVE increases throughput efficiency and quality of video to dramatically improve distribution performance.
EVE is codec agnostic and decodes based on international standards, with resultant files playable in any browser or video player that supports standard codecs. There are no B frames, providing faster decoding, minimizing battery use and expediting rendering. EVE is easily integrated into streaming delivery using the EVE Console or using REST-based APIs that can be inserted directly into existing workflows. Data sharing and storage is maximized via cloud, locally or hybrid with full redundancy, providing a cost-efficient storage model while reducing the expenses associated with self-hosted storage solutions. EVE also supports OAuth 2.0 authentication enabling data sharing without sharing passwords.
