How We Process Content

Ingest & Transcode

After decryption, live content is transcoded into two ABR streams of 800k and 2.5MBs. The streams are packaged in 4 second HLS segments and used for live content. Copies are archived to DAS storage for catch-up TV or nDVR.

Stream

Streams are requested by the player and transmitted by the onsite unified media server
