With Etere OTT Delivery, you can target your advertisements according to viewers' profiles, including having different advertisements for a single content. It allows operators to coordinate all playlists and urgent requests before playout. Furthermore, the rich metadata structure enables viewers to discover content quickly.Supports Widevine and PlayReady Protection SchemeWidevine: Widevine supports the use of standards-based, royalty-free solutions for encryption, adaptive streaming, transport, and player software without licensing feesPlayReady: PlayReady helps secure encrypted content by distributing and controlling content encryption keys over networks and clients. With this technology, content owners and services distributing high-valued content can monetize their content with complete control over their business modelSupports HLS and DASH Streaming ProtocolsEtere supports delivery optimized for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), one of the most commonly used streaming formats for live videos. HLS also plays videos encoded with the H.264 and H.265 codecs. Moreover, Etere supports MPEG DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), a standard for adaptive streaming over HTTP.MPEG Dash Files and ManifestEtere automatically generates MPEG Dash Files and Manifest. Dash manifest breaks all the content of a file into a sequence of small segments served over HTTP. It contains all the information necessary to download and present content.Electronic Programming Guides (EPG)■Streamlines the management of your image library with a public URL reference■Images will be placed and deleted according to the scheduled data■Keeps system updated at all times■Centralize your content■Maximizes your Return on Investment (ROI)Content Delivery Workflows■Automated workflows check the OTT contract to prepare content for delivery■Verification checks include contract validity and countries allowed for delivery■Images (Background, poster & thumbnail) related to the Series are automatically retrieved for the trailer■If there are subtitles linked to the asset, automated workflows will extract them into a.vtt file■Check and verify audio tracks linked to the asset■If it has a Trailer, the workflow will manage metafile from the trailer in the same way it manages metafile from the assetWeb and PC InterfacesEtere supports both web and PC platforms that efficiently manage the licensee, contract expiry, and payment management of your non-linear content from any location. The web interface is available from any web browser; all that you need is an internet connection.Managing Encryption and Digital Rights Management (DRM)Etere supports Digital Rights Management (DRM) which prevents unauthorized use and piracy of content, a prerequisite for many streaming platforms. DRM works by encrypting the content so that it cannot be read without a decryption key provided by a third party DRM platform that includes license servers. When a user tries to play a video, the video player requests a key from a license server. The server determines whether the user and device are authorized, before issuing a license response with a decryption key. The player can then decrypt and playback the content for the user. Etere features full compatibility with all the major DRM systems in the market, including Google, Apple and Mircosoft.Automated and Customizable End-to-End Content Workflow ManagementFrom ingestion to enrichment and distribution, Etere manages all your OTT workflows effectively. With the integrated Etere Resource Manager, you can generate orders, track tasks, monitor expenses and resources without switching screens. What makes the results so effective is the real-time updates, which allow task statuses and processes to be reflected in real-time. For example, ingest tasks can be assigned by workflow or manually. Once an operator takes up an assigned task, the task is no longer available to others. Furthermore, Etere integrates seamlessly with Active Directory to manage user authentication across multiple departments with cross-functions. Each user can be assigned a unique profile with rights assigned according to their stations and functions.Protects your Content with EncryptionEtere integrates the automatic encryption of files before delivery to OTT platforms. This prevents unauthorized access including piracy, hacking and cyber attacks, which can compromise the revenue strategies of OTT platforms. File encryption masks data so that only authorized users can decrypt and access the file. Different keys are used to allow different class of services including SD, HD and 4K.

Broadpeak’s nanoCDN resolves the two principal issues explaining why HTTP Adaptive bitrate (ABR) still struggles to replace Broadcast TV: scalability and quality of experience. By adding the efficiency of multicast to the new multiscreen and personalized experience of ABR format, the solution offers a unique opportunity to elevate IPTV to the next level. With this new full-ABR generation of IPTV, viewers can seamlessly navigate between Live and Time-shift, from their main screen to any mobile devices and get personalized content, all this with no compromise on the quality of their experience and at no extra cost for the operator.

 

nanoCDN has been specifically designed to avoid any kind of regression compared to traditional Broadcast. In particular, it implements optimizations for ultra-low latency such as HTTP chunked transfer encoding and CMAF chunking, bringing down the latency after encoding to a negligible amount.

 

In summary, nanoCDN is the opportunity for TV operators to finally unify delivery to the main screen and to all other screens into one single full-ABR IPTV system.
