BITDASH BITCODIN CUSTOMER PORTAL CLOUD-BASED MPEG-DASH CLIENTS TRANSCODING & STREAMING USER GENERATED Cloud-based transcoding & streaming as-a-service CONTENT by BITMOVIN BITMOVIN Highest Streaming Quality - bitdash ASTONISHING QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE (QoE) High Streaming Quality – bitdash™ MPEG-DASH Clients bitmovin has a profound technical expertise in media streaming development, research, and standardization. The company is an active contributor to the ISO/IEC MPEG-DASH standardization, created the official MPEG-DASH reference client implementation libdash (github.com/bitmovin/libdash) and is an active member of the DASH Industry Forum (dashif.org). bitdash™ is a suite of highly optimized MPEG-DASH clients for the broadest range of platforms and devices, delivering the best streaming performance and user experience, in particular in adverse (mobile) network conditions. bitdash™ is the result of continued R&D investments and incorporates patent pending technology resulting in MPEG-DASH compliant client solutions that deliver up to 101 % higher effective media throughput as well as significantly higher Quality of Experience (QoE) compared to existing adaptive bitrate streaming technologies and clients. Supported bitdash™ platforms: – Web: HTML5 Media Source Extensions (MSE) + JavaScript, Flash using OSMF. – Android: HTML5 Media Source Extensions (MSE) for browser-based playout and App- integration via WebView (> Android 4.2), C++ level native & Java libraries. – C++ Implementation: Embedded client libraries for Windows, Linux, and Mac (32/64 bit). bitdash™ streaming performance is 53% higher compared to Microsoft Smooth Streaming and 101% higher than Apple HLS. BITMOVIN Highest streaming performance and quality US-Patents pending Today’s Transcoding & Streaming Challenges Transcoding and streaming of audio and video content for Web delivery is an increasingly complex task with substantial requirements and costs in terms of – hardware and systems (encoders, servers, network, etc.); – bandwidth & connectivity; and – specialized staff for encoding/streaming. Furthermore, companies need to balance investments in (hardware) systems and connectivity with the required scalability and flexibility. Today’s encoding systems are dimensioned on peak loads (e.g., during special events) while the financial returns on those systems are driven by overall utilization of the infrastructure. Thus, content providers have not enough infrastructure for peak hours and special events, although their existing infrastructure is underutilized or idle at the rest of the time. Why Cloud-based Transcoding & Streaming? Cloud-based transcoding & streaming provides benefits across multiple dimension: – Remove capacity bottlenecks in the streaming media workflows. – Flexibility to scale resources and associated operational costs with the demand. – Right-size encoding and streaming infrastructure. – Eliminate the necessity for capital investments in dedicated encoding systems. – Full flexibility to choose quality and speed of encoding. – Reduce reliance on specific technical encoding/streaming expertise. Due to these benefits our customers can focus on operating their business more economically, while delivering a better service to their customers and gain a faster time to market! BITMOVIN bitcodin™ - Cloud-based Transcoding-as-a-Service bitcodin™ is built from the ground-up as a cloud-native platform and thus offers the highest transcoding scalability, performance, and quality on the market. bitcodin™ enables orders of magnitude faster transcoding than real time – e.g., transcoding a 2-hour HD video in minutes. Thus, customers can choose to dedicate more resources to the encoding process and still encode faster than real-time, while (a) increasing the quality for the customer’s target bitrates or (b) reduce bitrates and distribution costs while maintaining the same QoE. The solution also enables instant playout just seconds after the start of the ingest process for both Live and On-Demand use cases. bitcodin™ supports: – Highest performance and quality (up to HD and UHD/4K) for Live and On-Demand. – Multiple bitrates/resolutions for adaptive streaming. – 24/7 HD and UHD/4K encoding of live streams. – API-level integration for Live 24/7 and On-Demand encoding (coming soon). Input: Reliable input stream (RTP via TCP, RTMP, HLS, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, Amazon S3) . Output: Adaptive bitrate & resolution representations for OTT streaming using, e.g., MPEG- DASH + Apple HLS & Microsoft Smooth Streaming (coming soon) Video: H.264, any qualities and resolutions, up to HD and 4K Audio: AAC & MP3 Egress: Interfaces to various destination types (HTTP, FTP, Amazon S3.).

MPEG-DASH is a relatively new adaptive birate streaming format that places the streaming intelligence on the client-side facilitating a scalable architecture which comes along with significant lower distribution costs due to the usage of cost-efficient HTTP infrastructure. Comparing the distribution costs of DASH-streams against other technologies such as RTMP, distribution cost reductions of 90 % and more are possible! Furthermore, MPEG-DASH is considered to be the enabler for the future of streaming, e.g., due to the support in HbbTV 1.5 as well as the possibility to deliver 4K/UHD today! Through bitmovin’s advanced and patented streaming algorithms it is possible to prevent stalls, bufferings, and startup delays, while increasing the delivered media bitrate as well as providing superior Quality of Experience (QoE) for each consumer!
