[SatBroadcasting(tm)] Wowza Media Server(r) 2 is a high-performance video engine that unifies delivery of live and on-demand H.264 video or AAC/MP3 audio streams to multiple clients and devices, eliminating the need for specialized, client-specific servers and encoders.
The server extends the reach of content to any platform and any screen, encompassing Flash®, Silverlight®, QuickTime®, and IPTV set-top boxes, as well as mobile devices such as Android™ and Blackberry® phones, and the Apple® iPhone® and iPad™. Wowza Media Server 2 makes it easy and affordable to deliver a high volume of audio and video content over IP networks, either public or private, to desktop/laptop computers (WebTV), mobile phones/tablets (mobile TV), or IP set-top boxes (IPTV). Improved economies of scale and reduced encoding, storage, and management expenses mean radio and television broadcasters, content delivery network (CDN) service providers, and other media enterprises save money, improve efficiency, and streamline systems. As a single-server platform, Wowza Media Server 2 also simplifies personnel training and operation, further reducing enterprise expense. On-the-Fly DRM Encryption enables Wowza Media Server® 2 to dynamically apply PlayReady® and Apple® AES-128 protection to any live or on-demand H.264 stream, simultaneously delivering premium content to both the Silverlight® 4 smooth streaming player, the Apple iPhone/iPad™, and other HLS-compatible devices. The Wowza PlayReady implementation will support a direct interface with customer-owned PlayReady license servers or third-party PlayReady license providers such as EZDRM. Wowza will demonstrate Wowza Media Server® 2’s ability to perform live WebM streaming using VP8-encoded video with HTML5 video tag playback in Firefox® 4.0 Beta, Opera 10.6+, and other compatible browsers. Wowza Media Server 2 already supports HTML5 streaming to Apple iOS and other HLS-compatible devices such as the Roku player. As HTML5 standards and practices continue to evolve, Wowza will continue to address unified video delivery to different browsers and compatible devices.
