Media Distribution Management
Outlets & Players
With Calamares you generate the needed outlets. These outlets come in different functional types:
- Galleries
- Players
- Download links
- XML/RSS Feeds
Depending on the technical environment where they are distributed these Calamares outlets adjust themselves to the right technical format and also service the right type of media files, suited for that environment.
Cross Media Distribution
Outlets & Players
The four outlet types all handle the presented media in a different way:
- Galleries show results, like your programs, in a mannerly order. In for instance categories and subcategories you and your colleagues manage.
- Players let you enjoy the audio and video programs directly on your screen. The Calamares players not only support program playout, but also playlist- and EPG/TV-guide-based playout.
Podcasts, Subscriptions & Feeds
The two other outlet forms are mostly used for the distribution of your content to other (file)locations:
- Download links enable the audience to download & play your content on their offline devices, such as the iPod.
- XML/RSS feeds service systems and subscribers to your content with your newest or adapted content on a regular or scheduled bases.
