By transparently integrating streaming support into our CDN, we make it easy for you to target multiple screens. No need to re-encode your files or configure streams separately, just upload your file to the CDN and it is ready to be streamed to all platforms. As a customer, you can use our unified Media Player to test each different delivery method and generate an embed code for it.
ADAPTIVE STREAMING
Adaptive streaming allows clients to automatically switch between different video streams during playback, to ensure the highest possible video quality with minimum buffering and startup time. This way, clients can adapt dynamically to changing bandwidth conditions and available CPU resources, which makes this delivery method especially well suited for mobile devices. We support adaptive streaming for Flash, iDevices and Silverlight. Again, this is done in a transparent fashion, requiring no additional action on your part to reach the various screens
LIVE STREAMING
All delivery methods, including the different flavors of adaptive streaming, are also available for live-streaming. Moreover, our streaming servers can take a single live broadcast and stream it to all platforms mentioned here. To handle the broadcasting part, you can use your own solution, hire our encoding services or ask us to manage the whole live event.
Smart Stream Digital Media has ample experience in getting the most out of our streaming servers in order to provide the best possible multimedia experience on every device, from mobile to High Definition. Moreover, by fully integrating robust Media Server software into our CDN, we can guarantee 24/7 uptime and an optimal performance under all traffic conditions.
