VIDI, internet TV
built for South Africa, is the first South African video on demand streaming
service to offer both a monthly subscription option and/or an instant rental
option across one platform. There is no programme scheduling but rather instant
access to thousands of hours of entertainment.
Available across
multiple devices, viewers have two options: Unlimited Subscription to a library
of movies and award-winning TV series for only R149 per month or a daily rate
of only R5.
VIDI has called on
both professional and amateur producers of local video content to submit their
work via the VIDI website for possible inclusion in the video-on-demand (VOD)
service's South African content selection.
Interested visitors
to VIDI.co.za are able to submit their video content via a dedicated link. The
videos will be reviewed by the VIDI local content team who will decide on its
suitability for posting on the streaming video site. Formal commercial contract
terms will then be proposed by VIDI and, if accepted, the content will be added
to the VIDI site.
"This is a
golden opportunity for producers of South African content to access a
well-visited platform on which to showcase their talents. We're hoping the next
generation of content producers who are currently amateurs will see this as
that big opportunity to take them to the next level," said Janene
Matsukis, VIDI spokesperson.
VIDI, launched
commercially last year, is emerging as a well-known supporter of South African
video content. It is a sponsor of the Independent Mzansi Short Film Festival
(IMSFF), a four-day short film celebration. IMSFF 2015 screened some 20 hours
of short films from up-and-coming directors and producers in South Africa
during June 2014.
VIDI is also
committed to bringing the problem of illegal content downloads via the web to
the fore and has recently launched a publicity campaign aimed at encouraging
South African web users to 'keep it local and legal'.
