Key Features and Benefits

A Modern Live
TV Experience

A fast, intuitive live television environment built around a fourteen-day interactive guide. This is where customers form their first impressions, and where Cloudworks makes the everyday experience feel effortless. 

Key Capabilities 

  • Fourteen-day forward and backward EPG 

  • One-tap access to live TV, catch-up and recording 

  • Ultra-fast channel change using unified CDN and OVP 

  • Full programme metadata for every show 

  • Swipe or sidebar navigation for quick channel hopping

Live Rewind and
Catch-up TV

For operators, catch-up is where flexibility meets cost control. Cloudworks takes a complex, resource-heavy feature and makes it manageable. 

​

What Makes It Stand Out 

  • Per-channel rewind buffers from hours to several days 

  • Different catch-up tiers for groups or individuals 

  • Offered as a service or a self-selection upgrade 

  • Unified catch-up storage across all POPs 

  • Dynamic storage logic lowering hardware and operational costs 

​

Why It Matters 
Catch-up is one of the strongest retention drivers. Operators gain powerful control without the operational overload.

Video on Demand (VOD) Experience

The VOD environment supports every category, business model and content structure an operator needs. 

​

Features at a Glance 

​

  • Categorisation by genre, sub-genre, package or supplier 

  • Third-party app launcher with API-level integration 

  • Home-screen content strips (new releases, trending, liked, operator defined) 

  • External recommendation API (Think Analytics
    pre-integrated) 

  • Supports PPV, SVOD, TVOD, PVOD and AVOD 

  • Single assets can appear in multiple packages

Finding and Promoting Content 

Discovery defines how users move through a platform. Cloudworks gives operators powerful control over what audiences see and how quickly they can reach it. 

​

Global metadata search provides fast results across every content source. Users can find what they want whether it is live right now, still to come, in catch-up, inside the VOD library or recorded on their nPVR. 

​

Core Tools 

  • Dynamic categories such as Last Watched, Most Watched and Watching Now 

  • Recommendation layers at global, regional or local level 

  • Pre-integrated Think Analytics AI 

  • Open API for any external recommendation engine

Channel Playout Automation

  • Support for SVOD or FAST ad-based models 

​

Advanced Controls

Network Recorder (nPVR)

Cloud-based recording that behaves the way consumers
expect it to, without the operational inefficiencies operators
try to avoid. 

 

Users can record any show in real time or via the EPG, keep it indefinitely and access it across all devices with persistent state. Operators choose the storage tiers and monetisation model. 

 

Benefits 

  • Single physical recording stored in the cloud 

  • Multiple user profiles with separate storage 

  • Free or subscription-based storage packages

Why these applications matter 

Launching multiscreen services normally requires multiple vendors and long development cycles.
 
Cloudworks removes that complexity by giving you: 

​

  • A full suite of native apps for all key platforms with no license
    fee for Cloudworks users

  • A consistent stateless experience across every screen.
    Start viewing on one app - finish on another

  • Your branding applied everywhere 

  • Faster time to market 

  • Lower development and maintenance cost 
     

API access to middleware for customers who want to keep using existing apps or create new ones.

​

In simple terms: 


You get a complete multiscreen service from day one with the best feature set around.
