Media Flow Publisher provides HTTP adaptive stream content
segmentation, packaging, and metadata support for industry-
leading formats, including Apple HTTP Adaptive Streaming,
Microsoft Smooth Streaming (Silverlight), and Adobe HTTP
Dynamic Streaming (Flash). Media Flow Publisher can ingest
multiple H.264 video streams or files (live or on demand) and
publish the content for adaptive stream delivery, with the
associated metadata, in any of these formats. Additionally, Media
Flow Publisher can convert content between Microsoft, Adobe,
and Apple adaptive stream formats.
by consolidating the publishing and delivery of multiple adaptive
streaming formats on a single platform, Media Flow Publisher
reduces the need for extra servers in the network, lowering costs and
enabling customers to more efficiently deliver content to multiple
screens. Cable operators, IPTV providers, and content producers and
distributors can grow revenue and increase subscriber satisfaction by
delivering content to new devices in new ways.
The graphics below illustrate examples of how Media Flow
Publisher can be deployed.
