YNOT – Pink Visual has added a new feature to PVLocker, the company’s cloud-based content distribution platform. A sophisticated user-upload function allows users to store owned videos in a private “locker” within the cloud. During the upload, videos are transcoded, enabling cross-platform viewing anytime, anywhere.
“The idea is surprisingly simple: Let users take videos they already own and store them alongside videos they purchased from the site, much in the same way that you can add music from a CD you own to your MP3 library,” said Director of Business Development Liam Colins. “The big difference is that we do it all online, so there is no application or software to download and no files to store on your hard drive. PVLocker is 100-percent cloud-based.”
Colins said centralized file storage isn’t the only aspect of the modern digital music experience that consumers will recognize in PVLocker.
“Another great feature of MP3s is their amazing portability and convenience; you can listen to them anywhere, on just about every device” he explained. “We want to do the same thing for adult videos. Add your video files to PVLocker once, and then watch them from any laptop, PC, tablet or smartphone.”
According to Colins, PVLocker’s enhanced privacy makes storing content in the cloud easy and secure.
“The very concept of a cloud-based porn ‘locker’ is focused around privacy,” he said. “This way the true porn collector, who may have hundreds of favorite videos and clips on their PC, can get those videos into one place with a more universal viewing format. Not only can they then watch them from anywhere with whatever device is at hand, but those files now have an online copy so users won’t have their private videos cluttering up the family PC.”
A major point of differentiation between PVLocker and many other “cyber locker” solutions is that users are not able to share the content they upload to PVLocker. Pink Visual, a major adult industry voice in the battle against intellectual property theft, instituted that measure to help mitigate piracy and copyright-infringement concerns.
