CJ E&M Partners With VisualOn to Power New Mobile Application - VINGO Player - in South Korea

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VisualOn Inc., a multimedia software company that enables high-quality video and audio playback across connected devices, announced that CJ E&M's mobile application – VINGO Player, is now powered by OnStream MediaPlayer+. VINGO (vingo.co.kr) is an OTT service delivering movies on multiscreen platforms such as PCs, smartphones, tablets and TVs. CJ E&M is Asia's leading content and media provider and by utilizing VisualOn's cross-platform content playback solution, customers can now access high-quality media anytime and anywhere.

Streaming high-quality media to connected devices presents content providers a challenging proposition as each mobile device is differentiated by its ability to play content-specific media. By leveraging the flexibility and scalability of OnStream MediaPlayer+, CJ E&M's VINGO Player can support native video-on-demand (VOD) content, in addition to a wide variety of video and audio codecs (H.264, MPEG4, MP3, AAC, etc.), file formats (mp4, m4v, mov, etc.), streaming formats (HTTP Live Streaming and Progressive Download) and platforms (Android and iOS).

"Global consumers are adopting connected devices at an unprecedented rate and our solution is gaining worldwide traction," said Andy Lin, CEO of VisualOn. "As Korea's leading media content provider, CJ E&M is now well-positioned to deliver high-quality media to the masses. We are proud to be solving the fragmentation challenges that exist within the mobile device ecosystem."

"We have an array of content that our users appreciate – from comedy to drama to action – and its delivery quality is paramount to their experience," said Mr. Jong-Baek Kim, General Manager of VINGO OTT Service for CJ E&M. "We required a solution that supports VODs, in addition to the wide variety of formats available on the web. OnStream MediaPlayer+ is a proven solution that delivers high-quality content to end-users and we're confident that the expectations of our viewers will be exceeded."
