Delivering live TV streams over IP based networks makes it possible to offer traditional TV as an on-demand service. Edgeware TV Content Capture unlocks the value of your live assets by converting them to time-shift TV services such as live-to-VOD, SVOD, cloud DVR, pause-live, catch-up and start-over TV.
TV Content Capture ingests live TV and VoD streams from the headend. Live TV streams are segmented with high accuracy to give the best possible viewing experience and are eventually stored to enable time-shift services.
Thanks to the modular architecture of Edgeware’s Origin solution, TV Content Capture and TV Repackager scale independently of each other. In other words, the ingest capacity in TV Content Capture can grow independently of the egress capacity in TV Repackager, allowing a high level of flexibility and best possible fit for your business needs.
Segmentation optimized for synchronization – The segmentation is optimized for synchronization between audio, video and subtitling and also between different incoming streams from various encoders. The result is a glitch-free viewing experience.
OTT is growing up – and so is our Origin solution. It offers multiple high availability options and a fully redundant system with a range of storage options and growth scenarios.
TV Content Capture
WHAT IT DOES
- Live and VOD streams from headend are ingested and segmented
- Highly accurate segmentation is optimized for synchronization between audio/video/subtitling streams as well as between streams from different encoders, correcting synchronization issues that different mixes of audio/video codecs or encoders can generate
- Detecting ad markers and providing frame-accurate segmentation for glitch-free ad insertion
- Flexible and redundant circular buffer solutions for multiple storage options
- Easy integration with third party systems through APIs
TV Content Capture
HOW IT WORKS
- Incoming live and VOD feeds from headend are ingested.
- Incoming VOD feeds are ingested and stored for rapid repackaging.
- The streams are segmented and synchronized for an optimal viewing experience.
- Segmented live streams can be stored in a circular buffer to enable time-shift services such as start-over TV, catch-up TV and cloud DVR.
- Recordings are extracted from the circular buffer and archived as VOD for later viewing.
