Transforming live IP video streaming: Elevate the viewing experience for IPTV and OTT services
Today's consumers expect live streaming of news and sports events - including in-game betting - to be seamless, with instant switching between events, real-time viewing, and minimal latency. However, meeting these expectations poses significant challenges for service providers, broadcasters, and content providers who rely on traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) or enhanced video on demand (VOD) technologies. These legacy solutions can result in frustrating visual distortions, slow channel switching times of up to four to five seconds, and difficulties in maintaining low latency during live streaming - all common drawbacks of conventional CDN-based delivery.
The advanced capabilities of the Nokia Video Broadcast Optimizer (VBO) address these challenges directly. Furthermore, the VBO is a key component of our CDN for Live solution, a groundbreaking advancement that transforms and enhances the linear live broadcast TV experience.
Overview
Featuring hybrid-routed unicast and multicast capabilities, with support for a wide range of video formats, profiles, middleware, and codecs on a unified platform, the Video Broadcast Optimizer (VBO) redefines live IP video streaming for IPTV and OTT services. It ensures near-zero latency, instant channel switching, and exceptional video and audio quality while minimizing visual distortions and delivering a seamless viewing experience — without significantly increasing bandwidth demands.
