Azure ABS Connector
Price: Free (API consumption charges apply)
Author: Hemisphere
The ABS Connector provides an easy way to virtualize video content quickly, so that you can get the most out of your Linius Video Services (LVS) account.
If you already have content available on a public cloud, our Azure Connector – which is incorporated within the Widget Suite – allows you to link to your Azure Storage. Once linked, LVS can auto-discover (virtualize) content in your identified Blob storage. This bulk discovery capability is particularly useful when you first set-up your LVS account, enabling you to swiftly build a catalogue of virtual video that you can then enrich, search and assemble to create previously impossible hyper-personalized video experiences.
While you will need to create both an LVS account and Widget Suite account to utilize the ABS Connector (follow the ‘click here for instructions’ link above to get set-up), you can also use the ABS Connector as a standalone bulk discovery tool, without using the Widget Suite solution.
If your container has an Azure CDN Endpoint, enter the NAME of that endpoint (it will be a single word) in the ‘Azure CDN Endpoint’ field. Only MP4 files can be virtualized, so all other files will be omitted automatically.
Get started: For further details, please access the usage instructions.
Note: We strongly recommend that your content is virtualized from an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) distribution. Video playback performance will be greatly improved by virtualizing the CDN-based content rather than virtualizing from Blob Storage.
For more information on creating an Azure storage account with an Azure CDN, view this Azure Quick Start Guide here.
AWS S3 Connector
Price: Free (API consumption charges apply)
Author: Hemisphere
The AWS S3 Connector provides an easy way to virtualize video content quickly, so that you can get the most out of your Linius Video Services (LVS) account.
Using the AWS S3 Connector, you can instantly connect to and discover (virtualize) all your selected video content stored within your AWS S3 Bucket in the cloud. This bulk discovery capability is particularly useful when you first set-up your LVS account, enabling you to swiftly build a catalogue of virtual video that you can then enrich, search and assemble to create previously impossible hyper-personalized video experiences.
While you will need to create both an LVS account and Widget Suite account to utilize the S3 Connector (follow the ‘click here for instructions’ link above to get set-up), you can use the S3 Connector as a standalone bulk discovery tool, without using the Widget Suite solution.
If your content is within a particular S3 Bucket subfolder, or is prefixed with a particular word, the S3 Connector pinpoints that content via a ‘BUCKET PREFIX’ field. Only MP4 files can be virtualized, so all other files in the bucket will be omitted automatically.
Get started: For further details, please download the implementation guide and instructions.
Note: We strongly recommend that your S3 Bucket has a CloudFront Distribution. Performance will be greatly improved by virtualizing the CloudFront-based content rather than virtualizing from S3 storage.
For more information on creating an Amazon S3 Bucket and activating CloudFront Distribution, view this AWS Quick Start Guide here.

Brightcove Integration
Price: None
Author: Linius
‘Linius’ hyper-personalization solution offers quick and easy integration with Video Content Management Systems (VMCS’), such as Brightcove.
Linius only requires interaction with three Brightcove APIs: OAuth API, CMS API and Playback API.
The OAuth Token authorises API calls, with the OAuth API enabling Linius to access selected assets and associated fields (brightcoveID, posterImage, VideoName, Duration, contentType, etc) in Brightcove media storage.
Using the CMS API, Linius then virtualizes and enriches selected assets by augmenting and associating time-based metadata with the virtual video files — the original video files are not moved or manipulated.
Linius then interacts directly with the Brightcove Playback API to enable video search and assembly, in order to deliver hyper-personalized content experiences.’
