LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Association of Broadcasters Show -- SeaWell Networks, Inc, an award-winning provider of Internet video distribution products, announced today the release of Spectrum™, a network-based, high capacity video management solution that optimizes and enables monetization of content. Designed to work at the edge or origin of the network to repackage adaptive bit rate streams and dynamically manipulate content for effective delivery to Flash, Silverlight and iOS devices, Spectrum is poised to change the face of contemporary video delivery practices.
“In simple terms, SeaWell Networks’ latest innovation allows files to be quickly translated into the varying formats of different viewing devices, which is a much-needed solution for content optimization needs,” said Sergio Catanzariti, Director of Network Architecture at Orange San Francisco. "We found Spectrum’s ability to perform at high capacity at a network level very promising and innovative, and we are looking forward to doing a lab evaluation.”
“Such managed session-based streaming was not previously possible for HTTP Adaptive Bitrate Streaming,” said Alan Breznick, a senior analyst at Heavy Reading. “There is key market potential for this technology because it could enable providers to cut their video management and delivery costs while simultaneously storing more content and feeding more IP-connected devices than they can today.”
With more than a billion connected devices in use today, companies need to deliver and support the delivery of content to devices and platforms all over the world. SeaWell Networks’ Spectrum streams video to iOS, Android, consoles, OTT devices and TV through a simple workflow, minimizing the requirements traditionally placed on the delivery infrastructure and significantly reducing encoding and storage costs and bandwidth cost while increasing the quality of experience for the end-user.
Spectrum provides the following:
- Repackaging of any ABR protocol to ABR protocol (including Flash, Silverlight, and iOS devices)
- Application of business rules to individual streams
- Content manipulation to optimize delivery
- Analytics to further optimize the network as well as provide valuable metrics to partners
“We are extremely excited to add Spectrum to our offerings,” said Andy Beach, Chief Evangelist for SeaWell Networks. “Simplifying the file packaging and metric processes for video delivery will undoubtedly revolutionize the way content deliverers transmit video. We are confident that Spectrum will pave the way for video delivery to current and future viewing devices.”
