Logic CMX provides everything you need to launch an on-demand streaming video service for educational institutions including video encoding, streaming, GeoIP access restriction, institutional and library management and works with popular proxy services like EZProxy and OpenAthens. Perfect for creating a Kanopy style institutional/educational video service for libraries and universities.
By combining Logic's video on demand platform with geoIP location services and EZProxy, you can create a service where users access videos using their library card or college campus account.
5 Steps to Launch an Institutional Video Service on Logic CMX
1. Launch a 30-Day free trial of Logic CMX with Logic Video Add-On and GeoIP service. The Logic team will on-board your project and get you started with set up and consulting.
2. Select a video theme and configure using documentation and online guides or use our professional design service for a complete custom video channel. Logic CMX has tools for creating categories and genre lists, featured video trays, electronic program guides (epg), and more. Everything you need for a professional video on demand or subscriber service.
3. Upload your videos to Logic Video to create streams and add details. With Logic, you can easily create categories, genres, transcode videos, and design a Netflix style video service. Already have your videos on another service like YouTube, Vimeo, Mux, Backlight, or CineSend? Logic plugs directly into these services via API and can provide the front-end service and apps.
4. Configure Access by enabling the GeoIP Maxmind service and Institution plug-ins. Now add IP addresses provided by your university and library customers so that their members simply login to their library or campus account and then enter your video on demand website to access all licensed content. Users outside of the service cannot view any of the videos.
5. Connect with libraries and universities using a service such as EZProxy or OpenAthens. Most major libraries and universities are already on these proxy services to provide their members with 3-party content and services. Our team can assist with the coordination and support needed to be successful.
That's all there is to setting up your own Kanopy style institutional/educational video service to monetize your video library with major institutions. This service can be paired with a consumer facing VOD site to leverage the same library of videos as a pay-per-view or subscription service. Contact Logic CMX to learn more.
