scheduled linear channel and video-on-demand. Programs include
documentary-length productions, public lectures, science and
technology, and short-form public educational materials.
“TelVue is proud to have partnered with the NSF to bring The
Knowledge Network to Roku’s growing collection of educational
channels,” said Paul Andrews, TelVue’s Senior VP for Sales and
Marketing. “We have been working closely with the National Science
Foundation, not only on the development of their new Roku Channel,
but also on the digital media management system that enables
efficient aggregation of content from contributing educational
institutions.”
The cloud-based
TelVue Connect™content management system used by The
Knowledge Network allows the National Science Foundation to easily
aggregate videos from its educational partners, no matter what the
original format or the location of the contributor. TelVue Connect
was designed specifically to support collaborative channels. The
TelVue CloudCast™ Hosted Broadcast service enables web-based
scheduling of the linear channel, management of the on-demand
videos, and the ultimate delivery to Roku.
