Private Media Channel REVIEW

Private Media Channel is a system that helps businesses securely manage and deliver their video content to their private audience anytime, anywhere. You can say Private Media Channel is a combination of YouTube, Dropbox, SharePoint, and WebEx, all gathered in a shopping cart with enterprise grade security controls. The application helps companies showcase their video collection on their website with revealing analytics.

Private Media Channel offers secure professional video hosting for businesses. This cloud-based software manages the video hosting infrastructure without expanding businesses’ data center or making companies invest in the multimedia learning curve. The company’s secure global content delivery network streams videos to businesses and presents other important content to their audience anywhere, anytime, in any language, on any device. Businesses can maximize their Return on Investment by monetizing their videos and enriching them with collaborative content from their community of users.

Secure and Private Video Hosting

• Protection from downloading: Customers’ content cannot be downloaded via tools such as DownloadHelper.
• Fraud prevention: Get fraud and access sharing alerts. An alert is sent when a single user ID is watching a video on more than one device, or more than one location.

Auditing

• All accesses of videos (upload, change, view, and delete) are logged and auditable.
• Secure transmission: The stream cannot be captured in transmission and stored; it is encrypted and signed.

Video Monetization

• When businesses set up their channel, they can charge their audience for membership at multiple levels based on the access and content they grant to their viewers.
• No commission: End Customers place the money directly into Business account, Paypal or Authorize.Net. Private Media Channel does not charge any commission on content owner’s monetization (but the payment providers have their own processing fees).

Scenario 1: A Fortune 1000 global manufacturer in Europe uses the channel to manage their Research and Development flow. The R&D department designs new products, shares the information with their engineers, production managers, and marketing and legal departments, produces the marketing video and shares it all the way with their customers. If this information gets out to their competitors, their revenue stream would be irreparably harmed. They trust the Private Media Channel to keep it safe and inside their corporation.

Scenario 2: One of Private Media Channel’s more savvy customers evaluated a dozen video hosting companies and found only two which prevented videos from being downloaded. The other one had restrictions and a cumbersome interface, and so she chose Private Media Channel.

Scenario 3: A construction contracting company developed a set of training materials on DVD teaching contractors to get more money for their projects. This content is so successful that they were charging $1,000-2,000 per DVD. They have migrated all their content and created new content, and are charging their convention-goers $1,500 per quarter for access to streaming content. Now they don’t have to worry about the cost of producing and distributing the DVDs, or sharing them.

Scenario 4: A trainer in the world of lending opened a channel and uploaded videos of hundreds of hours of his real-life training. He offers it to banks for individual or group timed subscriptions.
