The following topics are covered here:

DIVA Player and AXIS compatibility: We've recently completed development work to bring the DIVA Player into the Apps as the default video player.

AXIS Ref Apps 6.11 clients can choose between the AXIS or DIVA video players. From Deltatre Apps 1.0, DIVA Player (version 5.8, without the End-of-Play experience) becomes the default video player for Deltatre Ref Apps. From Deltatre Ref Apps 1.1, the latest version of DIVA Player is supported for sports and entertainment, as well as DIVA features, including the improved End-of-Play experience in the Deltatre Apps.

What is DIVA Player?

Our DIVA Video Player is a front-end, streamlined, modern, customizable API-based SDK for new and existing clients supporting video, data, and rich user interactivity. Decoupling DIVA Player from DIVA Back Office, DIVA enables clients to integrate with their own choice of Online Video Platform (OVP).

DIVA Back Office integration

If you choose to use DIVA Back Office, we've made the integration and configuration process easier and more intuitive for client developers and operators. Check out our Getting started — DIVA Back Office article for more information. If you're looking to learn how DIVA Back Office features work, see our operator documentation.

Analytics

Track precise low-level performance metrics, e.g., the time taken for a video to start and the average bitrate across certain devices in a particular graphical location. DIVA provides a Media Analytics interface via a new Conviva plugin implementation, as well as an API layer allowing 3rd parties to integrate with custom Media Analytics providers without making technical changes to DIVA.

DIVA Player features

DIVA Player provides Playback features, Content discovery, Synchronization features, Integrations, Content protection, and Advertisements. Key features include real-time data visualization, interactive timeline, synchronized data overlays, fan engagement features, monetization support, multi-camera viewing, and 360° videos.

Video image quality

DIVA Player supports the device's base video player. This means that if the device in use supports HDR and, or 4K, DIVA Player presents content in this format.

For further information on how DIVA handles video image quality and information on how to enable HDR, read our High Dynamic Range (HDR) article. For information on changing the video quality during playback, see our Video quality selector article.
