CAPTURE
Capturing Linear TV
Media Gateway
Our media gateway captures your linear TV feeds via satellite downlinking or IP ingest. We have access to all major European broadcaster feeds. The contribution feeds at our data centres are connected to all major ISPs and operators in Europe. The headend infrastructure is designed as a high availability architecture.
Broadcast CentreOur linear TV capture facilities have access to SD, HD and 4K feeds. Redundancy options for satellite capture and IP ingest allow the possibility of hot switches to access feeds, should there be a problem.
FORMAT
ABR Transcoding
Adaptive Bitrate
We transcode your linear feeds and catchup content into custom multiple bitrates, resolutions and FPS formats to suit all quality, network and device needs.
Transcoding FarmOur headend platform uses a software, hardware or hybrid transcoders, depending on your specifications. Our elasticity and virtual cloud infrastructure allows us to efficiently scale the capacity required to prepare streaming content.
Cloud OTT Origin Platform
DRM Integration
We encrypt your content with all major DRM platforms; our headend supports Widevine, Playready and Fairplay. We also integrate to multi-DRM platforms or key servers of your choice.
OTT PackagingWe support all major streaming protocols including HLS, DASH and Smooth Streaming. ABR over multicast and ultra low latency CMAF formats are also offered when broadcast grade latency is required.
CDN IngestWe provide a flexible managed origin service that is pre-integrated to single or multiple CDNs of your choice, and enable it for delivery with either push or pull methods.
