• Intuitive delivery of video of the highest quality to any device. The possibility of coding of signals with different bit speeds allows to load media information into Eos practically in any format and to manage a set of versions of each data asset. Dynamic stream transfer measures the bandwidth available to this user, and activates a video format which will provide the maximum quality of reproduction for this situation. The media player of Eos is constructed on the Adobe Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) specifications allowing the subscriber to change appearance and functionality of a player at discretion.

• Audience accumulation and analysis of trends. Communities Eos can easily exchange content with other social networks (such as Facebook) using the special built-in functions. These built-in functions allow the media companies not only to attract the audience to corporate content, but also to save information on their actions (the choice of a format, viewing duration, etc.) for the subsequent analysis even in cases if access to content was provided through other web addresses.
