Mobile TV

Description

The market for mobile streaming is characterized by a huge upsurge in consumer demand and an increasing variety of codecs that need to be supported by state‐of‐the‐art streaming services. More and more audio and video content publishers need to make their long‐form content accessible to large audiences in a safe and easy manner. Mobile video streaming is the fastest growing service in terms of consumer demand while its implementation on mobile portals boosts page impressions and unique user figures.

To achieve the desired positive impact, many issues and problems need to be taken care of in the implementation of streaming services such as: How many different handsets should be supported? How high is the availability that is needed? How many parallel streams need to be served? Which reporting is needed to optimize the service? Do we need dedicated encoding servers? What about the budget for data traffic?

Our clients may rest assured that they will be able to offer content streaming to the latest handsets. The powerful encoding engine will help them achieve fast total turnaround times, especially on dedicated encoding server setups.

Features

Fully converged module for Web and WAP streaming
Universal standards converter for mobile encoding including iPod A/V
Full control through user commands such as pause, stop, play, etc.
Flexible billing features, event based, time based and subscription
The encoder has a large selection of audio filters (balance, channels, fade, five‐band equalizer, high pass/low pass, sample rate and volume filters)
High‐performance, open‐standards based, industrial grade multimedia streaming server for IP‐based networks ‐ specially optimized for 3G wireless networks
Streaming server is highly‐scalable, both vertically and horizontally, allowing customers to stream synchronized video and audio, providing Video‐on‐Demand (VoD) and live content experiences
Multi‐bit‐rate (MBR) streaming (multiple encoder settings for bitrate and frame rate that support in a single encoded file users with low‐, medium‐ and high‐bandwidth connections) powered by Darwin Streaming Server
A player connects to the server over TCP/IP and then requests and controls the media stream through RTSP methods, such as SETUP and PLAY and PAUSE. While streaming, the server and client communicate periodically through RTSP, updating each other with information needed for the streaming session.
Scalability: All systems are operated in modules with sufficient backup capacity and can be upgraded upon request in a short space of time. We trust our team of experienced mobile solutions developers who are constantly evaluating the latest standards on the market and possibilities for their integration into our solution.
Carrier grade load balancing: Audio and video files in large quantities cannot be played out via one central system. If this were the case, the network would get congested at points other than where mobile portals are hosted which would result in a loss of data packs and long lead times are immediately noticeable. Our data centres are powered by gigabit uplinks with peerings to the 5 most important carriers.
Wireless Media streaming module is easy to integrate into your WEB/WAP portal and entails low cost of management. This allows our customers to focus on creating and providing value‐added content and services to their users. Via Wireless Media’s mobile video streaming module you will get access to our high‐performance CDN (content‐delivery‐network) by way of which, for example, mobile VoD contents of Nawras telco are streamed.
Video filters include: burn timecode, black and white restoration, contrast, fade, gamma, HSV levels, RGB filter, sharpen, smoothing, watermark, frame‐rate, resize, deinterlace and noise reduction. The latter four filters enable the system to provide transcoder‐like functions high performance video and audio streaming with up to 1,000 concurrent streams
High‐end 3GPP real‐time, live encoder specifically designed for telecommunications industry
