Adaptive Bitrate Streaming

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming

Adaptive bitrate streaming adapts video quality to changing network conditions dynamically, providing optimal user experience according to available bandwidth. If bandwidth is diminished, video quality is reduced without the viewer experiencing repeated buffering issues and interrupted transmissions.

The Appear TV ABR system is a modular software solution providing a powerful video segmentation engine, high-performance storage solution, just-in-time packager/DRM engine, origin server and optional offline encoding/transcoding in one complete suite. The ABR system runs on industry standard off-the-shelf server hardware and can be customized to meet the operators´ specific streaming requirements. With its innovative architecture, our ABR Server allows for seamless growth and scalable redundancy – both through vertical brick-by-brick scaling and horizontal functional separation.
