CrossCast and videos: a perfect matchCrossCast makes video management a breeze, thanks to its powerful and easy tools. Its features, based

on 8 year of experience, are perfect for big broadcasters.

FOX Italy adopted CrossCast in 2008 and from that moment on we've constantly worked to provide the

best video platform for their needs.

The actual version of CrossCast is the result of this re�nement process.

And we do not intend to stop.

Clients

CrossCast has been entirely developed by Kframe Interactive, one innovative start-up located in Mendrisio (Switzerland).

We believe in accuracy, reliability and simplicity applied to very complex projects. The internet is a shared environment by de�nition and we want to make it more accessible, in our own small way.

This is the reason why CrossCast is our main project and we put a lot of effort into making it better and better.The platform must give editorial teams all they need to work in the best possible condition and in a simple environment. Our aim is ambitious, we know.

CrossCast hasn�t been designed for editorial teams only. It suits also your marketing and admnistrative departments, management and all divisions of a digital publishing company. But also bloggers, small newspapers and web magazines.

Thanks to this approach we�ve been working for years with big names in media, advertising, publishing and digital innovation.

ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, SPEED, SIMPLICITY AND CONTINUOUS UPDATES.
