Enterprise-class OTT Streaming:
Superior, scalable, real-time adaptive bit rate encoding for SD, HD and UHD HDR sources into AVC and HEVC. Lightspeed Live Stream can ingest multiple baseband SDI or IP video sources (MPTS, SPTS, RTMP) and encode multiple variants or ABR packages and deploy them to multiple destinations or host the origin.

Easy to Use, Easy to Manage:
Simple, powerful web-based GUI provides complete control over all sources, encoding groups, templates and channel outputs. XML import and export for scalable system deployment. RESTful API for operational control, triggering and status monitoring.

Stream Conditioning for Frame-Accurate Ad-Insertion:
Lightspeed Live Stream will detect SCTE 35/104 and place an IDR (Instantaneous Decoder Refresh) frame at the boundary so that downstream equipment or server-side content replacement and ad insertion can take place seamlessly and cleanly without without requiring re-encoding of the existing stream; improving quality and efficiency. Lightspeed Live will condition your streams for ad-insertion on any output, including HLS, DASH and RTMP.

Screen-Ready Packaging and Delivery:
HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), MPEG DASH, MP4, and CMAF packaging. Deploy via RTMP, local origin, or distribute to CDNs. Supports DRM and encryption options. Choose the output and delivery options that you need.

Automated Workflows, Triggers:
Built in scheduling, playlisting, branding, and event triggering features allow for agile broadcasting and channel deployment. Lightspeed Live recognizes SCTE 35/104 triggers and VANC data to allow for programmatic ad-insertion and content replacement, so you can respect content rights, and monetize more viewing windows. With our new IDR stream conditioning technology, you can be sure that all downstream content replacement and ad insertion will always begin on a full frame and be clean and seamless across all variants.

Unified Live and File-based Workflow:
Lightspeed Live Stream can be combined with Lightspeed Live Capture to record the highest-quality mezzanine files for delivery into file-based workflows. When coupled with our world-leading media processing platform, Vantage, your content can be seamlessly and efficiently conditioned (ads removed, content added, bumpers, branding, captioning, etc.) and delivered to any viewing window, with complete, end-to-end automation.

NEW! Support for Avid Interplay Check-in:
Lightspeed Live Capture allows you to check your captured assets (even if they’re still capturing) directly into Avid or Adobe-based NLE systems. Whether your editors are using Interplay or just Media Composer or Adobe CS, they can grab growing files captured by Lightspeed Live Capture and begin editing right away. No need to wait, no need to change your post-production workflow.

Growing File Record for Open Workflows
Record any source into growing files for instant, ongoing delivery to any production or processing workflow. Record and share edit-ready formats with Avid Media Central, Avid Interplay, Adobe Premiere, Switch, Vantage Social Media Connector, Apple Final Cut Pro and more.

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.

What is HESP?

HESP is an HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) streaming protocol that enables streaming services to be delivered with sub second latency, with a significantly reduced streaming bandwidth, at scale. An impressive list of improvements, further augmented by significantly reduced zapping times, pushing viewer experience and engagement to the next level.

HESP allows you to stream with, on average, a latency that is 7 times lower than current industry standard low-latency HAS approaches. An end-to-end latency of up to 400ms can be achieved. Low enough to enable new interactive TV formats and services. When using the HESP protocol the average zapping time is 20 times faster than with industry standard low latency streaming approaches. With a zapping time of less than 100ms, the channel change will happen in the blink of an eye.

What is the HESP Alliance?

The HESP Alliance was launched on the 1st July 2020. The HESP Alliance was launched by founding members; THEO Technologies and Synamedia. With the aim to bring together streaming video vendors and media companies to provide superior online video quality of experience at reduced cost through standardising and advancing the High Efficiency Streaming Protocol (HESP) and marketing of HESP solutions.

Introducing EMSSThe Enriched Media Streaming Solution (EMSS) standardises the interaction between a Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) server and the video player.

The exchange of metadata is not standardised, resulting in multiple proprietary systems. This means that custom integrations for SSAI are almost always necessary for each SSAI solution, which then leads to vendor lock-in.

EMSS SpecificationThe specification discusses the standard for metadata, how that metadata is transported in HLS or DASH, and how the metadata should be processed.

This specification touches on announcing and annotating ads to the viewer, modifying UI during ad playback, enforcing business rules for skipping over ads and beaconing.
