I thought they were just using their new method for selecting different bitrates on the fly. The application polls you hardware and bitrate and changes the codec .

I get this (mostly) but it also seems like there could be a larger plan

The company is going to need another new vertical to keep getting bigger. It's got a LOT of competitors out there now in the VOD space.
