"Multiple platforms in, multiple platforms out," is the way a Diamonds judge summed up the Azuki Media Platform, an over-the-top (OTT) delivery technology designed to deliver premium, protected content to any device over any network. With it, operators can push live, on demand, short- and longform video across all platforms - smartphones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, set-top boxes and connected TVs.
Key scalable components include:
- Azuki Preparation Processor, which provisions a single interface and common workflow for content ingestion, transcoding, segmentation, content protection (DRM wrapping) and uploading
- Azuki Media Manager, which performs media preparation scheduling and authenticates access based on correlating device, user and content rights
- Azuki Content Controller, which uses a proxy function to support content delivery based on client requests and service mediation
- Azuki Media Client, which monitors the digital stream for quality of service, authenticates usage through an external database, and supports the placement of targeted ads
