Recording live TV shows is a major consumer demand. With a Cloud DVR, you can offer the possibility of unlimited recording to your viewers, on every screen. There’s no need to purchase a physical box, and delivery and repair costs become a thing of the past.
NEA-DVR® is a flexible and scalable Cloud DVR that integrates storage directly within the Cloud DVR streaming servers. This hyper-convergent storage system, called EDS, was designed specifically for video and has several benefits.
You can scale up your streaming or storage capacity when needed, to meet growing demand. But more capacity doesn’t need to mean more space in the data centre: we can add storage disks to existing servers, which keeps operating costs down.
NEA-DVR with EDS is also a low-latency solution. It is highly efficient, with lower CPU and RAM usage compared to NAS solutions, and maintains optimal performance in the case of a rebuild during maintenance operations.
Plus, by packaging content Just-in-Time, NEA-DVR makes content available on all streaming protocols available today and through any new ones that come up in the future. Just-in-Time packaging also allows you to reduce bandwidth costs and the amount of storage you need, by sending video assets to end-user devices in real-time, instead of pre-packaging them in each streaming protocol.
NEA-DVR supports individual EPG-based or instant-based recordings, is encoder agnostic and complies with both Private Copy and Shared Copy models.
Key benefits:
– Access EDS storage seamlessly to improve customer satisfaction and ultimately, ARPU
– Optimised EDS provides high availability and improves ingest / playback performance
– Supports individual EPG-based or instant-based recordings
– Infinite Buffer streamlines asset and storage management, so you gain up to four times more capacity
– Encoder agnostic (EBP Cablelabs)
– Supports Private Copy and Shared Copy models

Anevia Pilot for Genova
With Anevia Pilot for Genovayou can configure encoding or packaging settings once, and apply those - through the push of a button - simultaneously to an entire park of servers. Through the device or service view, you can monitor your encoders or packagers as well as the different services, to take corrective actions as necessary. Anevia Pilot for Genova also provides real-time status of your servers and will send out alerts if something is wrong.
Anevia Pilot for Genova is fully virtualizable and upgradeable, it functions on COTS servers and ensures N+1 redundancy. You can take one or several servers offline for scheduled maintenance if desired, without disrupting services. And since it can import or export a complete system and duplicate it, Anevia Pilot for Genova can also be used for disaster recovery.

Genova Live
Since we develop Genova Live software in-house, and create proprietary implementations of standard codecs, we can modify the settings as needed to reduce latency, improve picture quality or resolve any interoperability issues. Genova Live software can also integrate with hardware that is best adapted for each customer scenario, be it density, video quality or price.
The packaging component of Genova Live is low latency by design, and has a full feature set which includes HbbTV, several subtitle conversion modes and compatibility with a large number of CDNs.
Built on a modular architecture, Genova Live can encode on a physical server, or can reuse existing servers in a private or public cloud, with virtualization or Docker containerization. It can also be remotely managed and monitored and integrates seamlessly within existing content processing workflows.
Key benefits : - Genova Live is an ultra-low latency original design (under 2 seconds) - Special packager settings: CMAF-LLC reduces latency to under the size of the GOP structure, without impacting encoding quality - Compatible with a maximum number of private and public CDNs, including Akamai (certified), AWS and Huawei - Reliable: Genova Live encoders are deployed globally, running 24/7 to serve broadcast-quality content - High density, GPU-based encoding mode uses less hardware to reduce power consumption and hardware maintenance costs - Content-aware encoding mode preserves high video quality while lowering bandwidth requirements and CDN costs - It can run on COTS servers, virtual machines or containers - Future-proof, upgradeable software - ‘Pay as you grow’ licensing
NEA-CDN®
It does this by using advanced video caching algorithms, such as content awareness, to improve caching efficiency and hit-ratio. Coupled with our chunk-sharing technology between live and Cloud DVR services, content delivery performance is enhanced and network usage optimised by up to 30%, saving you money.
The latest version of NEA-CDN is built on an elastic Cloud infrastructure that can match any viewing demand by temporarily scaling up during peak events.
This means you deliver low-latency, broadcast-quality content cost-efficiently, even during high traffic - giving your viewers a consistent quality of experience.
Key benefits:
- Highly scalable and elastic CDN adjusts to your traffic flows
- Supports any adaptive streaming format: HLS, Smooth streaming, DASH
- Allows enhanced request routing to the selected origin servers depending on content type
- More efficient caching dynamically applied on popular content
- Business dashboards for audience measurements, asset popularity, user behaviour analysis
- Technical dashboards for capacity planning and infrastructure management.
