SOLUTIONS

PROTECT YOUR CONTENT

When your content is consumed on websites and applications that belong to unauthorized third parties, your bandwidth bill jumps up without any benefit to your streaming business and branding. We give you the tools to protect your intellectual property rights without compromising on the convenient and high-quality experience your legitimate viewers expect.

• TOKEN AUTHENTICATION
  We implement token authentication as a standard security feature for all content providers who want to restrict access to authorized websites and applications. Each viewer who connects to the stream via legitimate means is assigned a unique, temporary URL that cannot be replicated or used to play the stream on any other device. This protects your content from link “sniffing” and ensures that your streams cannot be posted anywhere else without your permission. It provides a high level of security without being overly intrusive or difficult to implement. Integration is quick and compatible with all devices.

• GEO IP
  Limit access to your content to the countries and regions you have rights to through our content management system. Just select where you want viewers to be able to access your streams from. When someone connects from an unauthorized country, our system detects it and blocks them from watching.

MANAGE, MONETIZE, DELIVER

Manage, monetize, and deliver your live, linear, and VOD content on all of your platforms with ease using our Content Management System (CMS). With a wealth of standard features and functionality, it gives you all the tools to manage your content effectively across all of the devices you stream to. Depending on your needs, we can also customize it to meet any unique requirements.

• LIVE

Create publishing points for multiple bitrate profiles, enable DVR archiving, set bandwidth limits, and upload schedule/EPG information. View detailed statistics, generate streaming paths to your content in all formats (RTMP, HLS, RTSP, etc.), and embed your stream into any website with a device-detecting player. Set geo-restrictions and configure token authentication security, then publish your streams on the platforms of your choice. All this, and much more, is possible with our content management system for live streams.

• VOD
  Upload videos via FTP or web, then publish them on the devices of your choice, adding titles, categories, descriptions, thumbnails, searchable metadata, and more via our Online Video Platform. Generate adaptive bitrate streaming paths to each video in all formats to easily integrate them anywhere. Create pre-roll ads, let subscribers watch your videos for a monthly fee, or charge any price you want for pay-per-view access to generate revenue from your content. Secure and geo-restrict your content to protect it.
• LINEAR
  Upload video assets, then arrange them to generate a 24/7 linear stream. Schedule as many days in advance as you want and stream to any device. Manage exactly when you programs air, and start from any file if necessary. Trans-code your stream for adaptive bitrate integration or to convert it for satellite/terrestrial broadcast delivery. Our Playout system has seamless transitions between videos to ensure viewers receive a broadcast-quality experience on all platforms.

STREAMING FEATURES

• ABR
  Take advantage of adaptive bitrate technology to make your live, linear, and VOD content more accessible than ever. We trans-code your files and streams into different profiles, then provide adaptive players that detect the internet connection of your viewers and adjust the quality to ensure a stable, stutter-free experience.
• TRANS-CODING
  We can transcode your files and live/linear streams to almost any format or codec. If you’re delivering to a lot of different platforms, including traditional media that isn’t compatible with common streaming formats, rest assured that you won’t need expensive hardware or significant resources on your end. Just provide us one source and we’ll take care of the rest.
• DVR
  Use our Cloud DVR functionality to automatically record your live and linear channels. Archived content is made available instantly on the web player and all of your custom applications. Increase viewer satisfaction by giving them full control of where, when, and on what device they watch your content.
• TIME-SHIFT
  Ensure a consistent viewing experience around the world by time-shifting your linear streams. That way, prime-time is the same no matter where your audience is, making it easy for you to target your content effectively and cater to the schedules of your global viewers.

OUR NETWORK

Unlike traditional CDNs, which were initially built for static content delivery and tried to adapt their existing technology for live streaming, our Video Delivery Network (VDN) was built from the ground up to provide optimal video streaming. We created an entirely new streaming architecture, purpose-built to address the intricacies of live streaming, which lets us provide pristine video quality to viewers worldwide near-instantly.

• Fast
  Slow video loading is one of the biggest causes of viewer abandonment. Our route-optimization system is specifically tuned to find the fastest and highest quality path to the viewer, ensuring rapid loading times in every part of the world.
• Stable
  We operate our VDN and cloud services from our primary data centers in Atlanta, where we have direct access to all major internet backbones. Unlike traditional CDNs, who host servers in the data centers of other companies, we have direct control over the entire VDN infrastructure, with staff on site to provide near-instant support.
• Scalable
  Planning a live event with a large number of concurrent viewers? Concerned about the impact future subscriber growth may have on your services? Rest assured that with a server architecture and direct connections to the largest internet exchange in the Southeast, our VDN can scale comfortably and quickly.
