Kaltura's open source video platform is based on a flexible combination of customizable components called Kaltura Widgets. These widgets can be customized, skinned, and combined using simple workflows to form Kaltura applications. Kaltura applications can be developed using the Kaltura SDK in any modern programming language, and using the Kaltura flexible APIs. The free open source offering also includes reference implementations (in PHP, Java, Ruby, or .Net) that facilitate the rapid creation of applications, as well as a Kaltura ‘application builder' tool that empowers publishers to construct applications ‘on-the-fly', including different features, interfaces, and workflows. Kaltura's platform can be integrated with other publishing or enterprise systems such as MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress, Moodle, Elgg, and very soon Joomla, Mindtouch, OpenOffice and Sharepoint. Many of these integrations are already available for free.
Kaltura's model allows publishers to implement the solution that best fits their needs. They can deploy Kaltura's video platform without any integration work whatsoever, based on several applications already offered, or make use of Kaltura's professional services or an external integrator to build upon the platform using Kaltura's flexible APIs.
