Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR) has introduced its Media Delivery Springboard solutions, intended as a cost-effective means for small and medium-sized independent cable operators to ingest, store, transform and deliver VOD and live-streaming content.
Traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) come with high start-up costs, which present a challenge for operators that may lack the necessary capital. Concurrent's Media Delivery Springboard is intended to provide cable operators with smaller budgets and limited resources with an entry-level video delivery solution requiring minimal infrastructure investment.
Three options are available, including a VOD solution for QAM-based set-top boxes, a VOD and live-streaming solution for IP devices, and a CDN solution that supports both QAM and IP devices. Each offers the ability to scale as capacity requirements grow.
"The Media Delivery Springboard provides unparalleled value for independent cable operators without compromising on quality," said Scott Ryan, Concurrent's senior vice president of products and chief marketing officer. "We're proud to equip these operators with a premium-grade revenue-generating platform for the advanced services their customers desire."
The solutions are designed to provide a migration path for increasing services and storage as operator subscriber bases grow. Embedded content adaptation features include just-in-time packaging, dynamic DRM encapsulation and manifest manipulation.
