The MediaKind solution offers VOD and live streaming, encoding and packaging services with DRM support and a native media player to app developers, video services and platforms. Built on the Azure cloud and transactable on Azure marketplace, MK/IO aims to offer one-click API parity and seamless asset migration for all users of Azure Media Services, including a straightforward pricing model to simplify the overall experience.
