Spectrum

Personalize Your Video Experience with Spectrum

Spectrum is a network media management solution that combines subscriber management controls with Quality of Experience optimizations, and “on-the-fly” file repackaging for the most personalized video experience available.

Session-Based Management

Spectrum is a high performance software solution that can perform session and management functions.

It can enforce policies and business rules to maximize the Quality of Experience for end-users on a per-session basis, while capturing detailed statistics that can be used to help plan and monetize video delivery. Through manifest manipulation, Spectrum enables subscriber access and controls that help publishers monetize their video delivery.

Ad servers can be seamlessly integrated to send content for insertion into the stream on an individual per-session basis before returning to the original programming.

Quality of Experience Optimizations

At the same time, Spectrum makes dynamic adjustments to the file segments and manifest files while controlling session duration and bit rates delivered. This ensures the best performance over any network and device.

Network-Based File Packaging

In addition to its powerful session controls, Spectrum enables operational savings by instantly repackaging live or on-demand video to support all adaptive streaming protocols (such as Microsoft Smooth Streaming, Apple HLS, and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming). New protocols can also be introduced into Spectrum to allow for future development and adaptation.

By repackaging the content “on-the-fly,” video content is only repurposed as needed for distribution to clients, which drastically decreases storage and distribution costs.
