At CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Broadpeak and Wyplay will unveil a joint solution for the distribution of live TV Everywhere services over managed networks. Broadpeak's nanoCDN technology has been integrated with Frog By Wyplay middleware on set-top boxes for multiscreen video delivery by telecom, cable and satellite direct-to-home (DTH) operators.
The joint solution is intended to address OTT latency and unstable video quality, and also to provide a migration path to an HTTP video delivery infrastructure.
"The solution we've developed with Wyplay is especially groundbreaking for satellite DTH operators, who have controlled the main TV screen battleground by providing amazing video quality for years," said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO at Broadpeak. "By deploying Broadpeak's nanoCDN technology on satellite set-top boxes running Frog middleware, they can now extend the exceptional video quality they are known for to PCs, tablets, smartphones, and secondary WiFi boxes in the home."
Broadpeak's nanoCDN application converts multicast streams into unicast via multicast ABR technology to keep bandwidth requirements to a few megabits per second for live multiscreen delivery.
