Ingest and Segmentation, part of Edgeware’s StreamBuilder product family, ingests your content assets and processes it in the most accurate and optimized way to enable glitch-free OTT viewing. It segments and synchronizes the incoming streams, aligning audio, video and subtitling streams with broadcast grade quality. Together with the Packager and Protection product, it ensures your OTT services have a broadcast grade quality.
With its high precision stream segmentation capabilities Ingest and Segmentation reduces the dependency on encoder performance and helps overcome synchronization issues when multiple encoders are used.
Segmentation optimized for synchronization – The stream segmentation is performed in such a way it compensates for synchronization issues between audio, video and subtitling streams and also between streams from various encoders. The result is – a glitch-free viewing experience.
Broadcast grade quality – with strict segmentation and specific focus on live streaming we are helping you to offer OTT services with high viewing quality and a TV Beyond Broadcast experience!
