It is a simple and intuitive way to pass the source content to the OTT platform for further processing which is fully automatic and runs according to a pre-set video manifest file containing not only the final quality listings but also additional information such as DRM, subtitles and audio tracks. Live streams are ingested through mount-points from any place. An automatic end-of-stream event recognition and switching to the predefined video loop are an integral part of video ingest. Content processing (encoding/transcoding) Broad format support Adaptive formats Timeshift and Catch-up DRM Storage A cloud based encoding farm processes video content with high efficiency. The flexibility of the solution enables the system to process files in the shortest possible time, in modern formats (HLS and MPEG-DASH) and to adaptive profiles. Content security is achieved by using widely accepted DRM systems such as Microsoft PlayReady, Google WideVine and Apple FairPlay. Time-shift, catch-up and start-over are integral parts of our solution. Video content is stored in high-capacity storage with full redundancy and high security.
