NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zype, the leading video API and infrastructure platform, today announced it received two awards during the OTT Executive Summit conference. Zype Playout 2.0 was recognized for "Best ROI" in the company awards category. Additionally, Matt Moore, Zype's SVP of Product, was named "OTT Guru '' in the individual category which identifies the executives who contributed to the most insightful learning and discussions during the event.
The "OTT Genius" and "Best of Show" Awards Presentation took place on November 18, the final day of the 2021 OTT Executive Summit. Award winners were voted on and chosen by those who attended and participated in the event. The OTT Executive Summit is a global, three-day conference that brings together the top minds in video content, distribution, and technology to discuss how OTT is enabling new business models for both traditional Pay TV providers and streaming video innovators.
"We congratulate Zype for being named Best ROI at OTT Executive Summit," said Brian Mahony, CEO of Trender Research and President of OTT Executive Summit. "Best ROI is determined as the product or service best able to provide a financial return on investment for new OTT services or existing ones wishing to scale up. This honor was awarded solely by impressing the 1,500+ mostly executive-level attendees of the Summit, who alone vote."
"Furthermore, I'm very pleased to announce that Zype's Head of Product, Matt Moore, was named OTT Guru," continued Mr. Mahony. "This is another high honor bestowed solely by attendee feedback. Matt clearly made the case for Zype, showing the value that they provide to OTT services big and small, existing or new."
"Best ROI" - Playout 2.0
Zype Playout 2.0 was selected among 10 other OTT products and services during the "Product Speedcase" session of OTT Executive Summit. Playout 2.0 is the newest version of Zype's award-winning live linear solution that allows users to easily build and monetize linear TV channels through drag-and-drop programming of live or on-demand videos into linear streams for digital distribution.

"OTT Guru" - Matt Moore - SVP Product at Zype
Moore was recognized as "OTT Guru" for his OTT insights during the "Product Speedcase: 5 Minute Demo" of Playout 2.0.

He joined Zype earlier this year as the VP of Product for Connectors after spending 10 years focusing on content distribution and platform partnership efforts at several media properties, including Vox Media, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel. In this time, Moore built content programs that expanded video, text, and audio publishing across social platforms, TV apps, cable networks, voice assistants, news apps, and OEM devices.
