Media Flow Publisher
Adaptive stream publishing application that delivers video to multi-screen formats simply and cost-effectively.
The advent of tablet PCs, large screen mobile devices, and increasingly ubiquitous wireless access is driving the consumption of premium video entertainment content out of the living room. Consumers increasingly desire and expect access to all types of content on any device, at any location, and at any time.
The ability to deliver content to multiple screens is rapidly becoming a requirement for broadband and television service providers such as cable and IPTV operators, as well as content providers themselves. However, delivering content to multiple devices over the Internet requires a different approach than that of traditional TV and video on demand (VOD).
Variables in device capabilities and connection quality mean that multiscreen content delivery requires adaptive bit-rate streaming
)
— the ability of the video to adjust in response to changing conditions. This typically means investment in costly, specialized encoders that directly support adaptive stream segmentation, and additional servers that provide the adaptive stream packaging and metadata publishing.
