Packager and Protection, part of Edgeware’s StreamBuilder product family converts your live and VoD assets to the different streaming formats required by today’s devices, such as HLS, MPEG-DASH and MSS. Its rich support for each individual format’s multiple variations makes OTT Packager and Protection essential for your ability to offer glitch-free streaming services to any device.
Both packaging and encryption are done on the fly. You only have to keep a single copy of your video profiles and the right ABR formats are generated on request. It also supports your existing VOD libraries without the need to reencode these assets. This translates into significant savings in storage.
