Case Study: Plex achieves higher-quality, more secure video streaming with Bitmovin

Plex - Customer Case Study

Plex, a global video streaming service with over 25 million users, needed a new VOD encoder as it prepared to launch TVOD and PVOD offerings. The company wanted to maximize revenue without sacrificing image quality, while also adding strong content security features such as forensic watermarking to help license premium studio content.

Bitmovin provided its VOD Encoder on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with Per-Title Encoding, flexible cloud deployment, and forensic watermarking support. The result was higher-quality video at lower bitrates, improved operational efficiency, and seamless scalability, along with measurable savings of 23% on distribution costs and 55% on storage. Bitmovin helped Plex reduce streaming costs while strengthening security and future-proofing its workflow.
