The movie shall be made available on a pay-per-view basis with a 6-hour viewing windowNew Delhi, May 10, 2017: The global OTT leader in the South-Asian content, YuppTV, announced the launch of its new platform, Mini Theatre. YuppTV makes new movies available on the Mini Theatre platform on the first day or the following weekend of theatrical release, even in geographies where the movie is not available outside of India. The movies shall be made available on YuppTV platform only on Samsung, Apple, Roku, LG, Sony TV Devices/interfaces.
Commenting
on the latest development, Uday Reddy,
Founder and CEO of YuppTV said, “At YuppTV, we have a great opportunity of
bringing best quality South-Asian content to our users across the Globe. Launching
Mini Theatre is another step in the same direction. The release of various
Indian movies is often limited only to very few selected geographies across the
world and sometimes limited only to the Indian subcontinent. Hence, users end
up missing out on these high-quality and entertaining movies missing a
worldwide release. Following the launch of Mini Theatre, our users outside of
India will have the opportunity to access new Indian movie releases, just like
they used to, back at home in India. Furthermore, filmmakers may now showcase
their movies to a global audience, notwithstanding exorbitant investment for an
overseas release. Since the launch is slated to benefit every stakeholder in
the ecosystem, we look forward to receiving a huge response from both, expat
audiences and filmmakers.”
YuppTV
is
further exercising complete piracy control of the movies showcased in
the Mini
Theatre. Users need to accept the piracy agreement conditions before
they start
watching the movie. The movie shall be made available on a pay-per-view
basis
with a 6-hour viewing window. Furthermore, the movies are secured with
DRM,
Invisible user based/Forensic watermarking and encryption and users are
authenticated by mobile and location verification. Under the Invisible
or Forensic
Watermarking, each user who will get the stream to watch the movie will
have
unique identification in the invisible mode. It is an imperceptible
& non-removable unique identifier that is embedded in the video,
enabling YuppTV
to trace any content breach. The pirate, if in case found guilty of
breaching
the privacy guidelines, will be charged with a heavy penalty.
