A system may receive an instruction to publish a video asset to a video provisioning system; retrieve profiles associated with the video asset, where a first profile may correspond to a set top box (STB) and a second profile may correspond to another device of a different type than the STB; process the video asset to create a first asset that can be published to a first device, associated with the system, based on the first profile; and process the video asset to create a second asset can be published to a second device, associated with the system, based on the second profile. The system may also publish the first asset to the first device that enables the STB to obtain the first asset from the first device; and publish the second asset to the second device that enables the other device to obtain the second asset from the second device.
