Genvid Technologies has raised the US $ 2.5 million in the additional funding round, and has released a wide range of interactive e -sports broadcasting technologies.This technology has already been integrated into Valve's popular e-sports shooter "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".
The developer uses this software development kit (SDK) so that all multi -player games (e -sports titles, virtual reality games, multi -player online games that participate in multi -players) can be viewed on streaming services such as YouTube.It can be attractive.
If a game developer adopts this SDK, viewers can participate and exchange the programs they are watching.It is possible to change the camera angle in the direction you like or follow a specific player.You can even interact with ads embedded in the broadcast.The goal is to make it possible for developers to create interactive programs that make money from premium e -sports broadcasting.
Players can control the user interface as if they were in the game by utilizing "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".
JACOB Navok, a CEO of Genvid Technologies in New York, said in an email that all software provided by Genvid could be used on developers around the world, and all major platforms and game engines.The supported platforms include YouTube and his Twitch Extensions program, Amazon Web Services.Developers will be able to use this SDK to provide a new broadcast experience, such as displaying special advertisements to users who follow a specific star player in an e -sports game.This means that instrumental ads and purchases are possible, targeting individuals watching e -sports.
Navok says:
Developers and broadcasters can also use the simplified cloudlon function of Genvid SDK to operate as many dynamic and interactive server -side cameras as possible to showcase in -game stadiums.In addition, viewers' interactions are mapped on a video in real time, and as a result, live streaming monetization is possible through unnecessarily targeted transactions to the individuals they are watching.As a result, game developers have a profitable opportunity to buy sponsors and instrumental purchases.
NAVOK established Genvid in 2016, but some of the co -founded members led technology and business at Synra Technology, a subsidiary of Square Enix Holdings (closed in January 2016).
Genvid is supported by MARCH CAPITAL PARTNERS and OCA VENTURES.The latest round was the MARCH CAPITAL PARTNERS, and he was in the form of OCA Ventures.The number of employees is 16 and the establishment is 2016.It has been procuring $ 4 million so far.
