Case Study: Royal Opera House achieves global, high-quality streaming with Bitmovin

Royal Opera House – A Royal Streaming Experience

The Royal Opera House wanted to expand its live and on-demand opera and ballet streaming beyond the theatre while maintaining the highest viewing quality. To do that, it needed a solution that integrated with AWS, optimized encoding and storage, supported many devices with one player, and provided detailed playback analytics. It turned to Bitmovin’s Encoding, Player, and Analytics products to meet those needs.

Bitmovin implemented Per-Title encoding on AWS, a single player for 20+ device types, and expert support to streamline development and deployment. The results included a 20% reduction in encoding and CDN costs, a 30% increase in user experience and satisfaction, support for 10+ device types, and reuse of over 90% of the code from web to mobile with React Native support. Bitmovin helped the Royal Opera House deliver global playback access with better quality of experience and faster platform launch.
