India’s Broadcast technology and media services provider Planetcast has revealed it has acquried Desynova including its Contido platform. 

The sale of Desynova’s solutions and services will enable Planetcast to strengthen and expand its cloud-based content management capabilities for the global marketplace.

Desynova’s Contido is a leading-edge, cloud-based content supply chain orchestration solution that simplifies and recalibrates the canvas of media production. It is a cloud-native Media Asset Management (MAM) system designed to handle video processing & publishing across multiple platforms seamlessly.

Contido, which is already integrated with Planetcast’s solutions, is built on modules that flexibly work together to provide all the functionality required by broadcasters and content creators, including ingest, asset management, collaborative workflows, analytics, quality control, transcoding, subtitling and distribution.

“Desynova is a perfect addition for Planetcast through providing us with an agile, collaborative, cloud-native technology married to an intuitive UI that makes managing post-production and playout workflows smooth and seamless! While the Contido platform from Desynova broadens our solutions and services portfolio, it also brings marquee new customers and adds a significant boost to our global expansion plans,” said Sanjay Duda, CEO of Planetcast Media Services.
