Cavena Subtitling
Adding subtitles to your content – either translating the language of the audio or providing assistance for hard of hearing viewers – is often an important requirement, and these subtitles need to be displayed at the same high quality as your content. Edgeware can now make subtitling easy with our Cavena solutions.
There are many complexities when delivering high quality subtitles to multiple device types and screen sizes. Subtitling is usually two rows of text with a timecode that determines when to display and when to remove the text. But there is an array of different formats and character sets that need to be supported.
Edgeware offers the Cavena-based technology for the highest quality subtitling. Integrated with Edgeware’s Packager and Protection product, the combined solution delivers high quality subtitling across any screen format, to any client and in any character set.
Cavena’s technology delivers high quality subtitles for TV, using Optical Character Recognition to convert subtitles from image to text formats, which provide a much higher quality experience for OTT viewers. The system can also transcode subtitle formats with one subtitle format in, transcoded within milliseconds, and another format sent out.

Edgeware StreamPilot – Multi CDN Control
StreamPilot, Edgeware’s multi-CDN control platform with newly-added automation capabilities, solves these problems. It lets you take full control of the OTT TV delivery, fully independent of the delivering CDN. It’s completely client agnostic, which allows you to measure the delivery of every single content segment in real-time.
With its strategic location – sitting in the control plane between the CDN and the client – StreamPilot allows you to proactively and in-session switch or modify the delivery of every single segment from the CDNs to whichever client device your viewers might be using. It measures every segment request made by the client and redirects it to the most optimized CDN.
The addition of its automated optimization capability, referred to as AutoPilot, gives broadcasters and content providers the option to automatically perform actions triggered by StreamPilot’s real-time session data when using a multi-CDN set-up. The AutoPilot feature identifies and automatically presents a unified view of problems that could affect users’ quality of experience, independent of which CDN is delivering the TV service to the viewer.
The issues presented can be related to the device, delivery CDN, ISP or the content itself. The data is processed, grouped and presented with a classification on severity level.
Not only does the AutoPilot feature enable users to react quickly and resolve potential problems, it also identifies problems they cannot resolve, such as ISP-related or other infrastructure-impacting circumstances. This reduces operational costs and allows users to focus on other tasks. Valuable session data around CDN performance and overall QoE provides key insights to help content providers monetize their services, such as creating innovative service offerings and performing A/B testing.
By giving users the unique capability to automatically – or manually – mitigate the problems through actions such as selecting another CDN for the delivery, StreamPilot meets a growing demand from broadcasters and content providers to automatically optimize delivery, rather than presenting the data for them to then analyse and act upon.
StreamPilot is cloud-based and offered as part of the Edgeware Cloud Service.

The solution’s predictive load balancing feature provides a smooth onboarding process for big live events by handling the requests from thousands of viewers who are simultaneously waiting for their live football game or film premiere to start.
';
Virtual Channel Creation
Virtual Channel Creation helps broadcasters and content providers to increase relevance and reach both for their viewers and advertisers by creating regionalized and customized online channels in a cost-efficient manner. The solution has proven especially valuable when adding regional news or weather to national channels or to provide regionalized ad insertion.
Virtual Channel Creation is based on a unique technology where content is stitched together from various sources into a channel. Compared to the needs typically posed by other systems, it does not require the significant investments in production, encoding and storage capacity.
Regional channels are often encoded and stored as full channels, meaning the national content is encoded and stored multiple times – once per regional channel. With Virtual Channel Creation, national content only needs to be stored and encoded once. Regional content can then be stitched into the national channel to create each full regional channel. As a result, encoder and storage needs are reduced. If using cloud-based encoders, the cost savings enabled by this is significant. Similarly, the need for NAS storage, which is required to create Live to VoD content, is reduced.
Virtual Channel Creation also provides an option to use lower bitrate options of the regional content, reducing the encoder and storage need even further. Use cases demonstrate a 95% encoder capacity saving for national channels and an 89% encoder saving for regional channels when using the option to use a lower bitrate variant for the regional channels.
It can also be used to insert public safety messages, as well as efficiently manage restrictions in content distribution rights by inserting replacement segments, programs or providing a blackout solution, even for time-shifted content.
Virtual Channel Creation resides within StreamBuilder, providing broadcasters and content providers with segmentation, packaging and subtitling functionality needed for internet-based distribution.

High Efficiency Streaming Protocol (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.

MediaScaleX // Origin
The MediaScaleX // Origin platform enables content service providers to ingest, host, transform, record and distribute video content to any device, at any time, over any network. It uses a common integrated architecture to enable live video streaming, video on demand, catch up TV, restart TV, and cloud DVR services to IP devices and traditional set-top boxes.
Integrated content adaptation for Just-In-Time IP packaging and encryption ensures the content is delivered using adaptive bitrate (ABR) formats and content protection methods (DRM) needed for all end users’ devices. MediaScaleX // Origin eliminates the time and cost of pre-processing content into multiple formats and DRM encryption schemes.
MediaScaleX // Origin can be deployed on-premise, in a private cloud or in a public cloud. It can be provided as an appliance with qualified and guaranteed hardware, or as a software-only package for qualified hardware configurations including VM (Virtual Machine) and Container-based environments.
