Yuvad Launches Yuvision Family of Video Encoding Solutions
Real-time encoding and file-based transcoding in three pre-configured models specifically optimized for OTT services
San Jose, CA(19 May 2013)
Yuvad Technologies, (www.yuvad.com) a leading provider of video encoding and processing platforms, today announced the general availability of its Yuvision™ family of video encoding solutions. The Yuvision products have been developed specifically for multiscreen encoding for the over-the-top (OTT) market. They are based on the Yuvad flagship CES platform. With over one thousand systems shipped worldwide, the CES products are considered to have one of the highest encoding quality outputs on the market as well as one of the highest processing throughputs in the industry. With its full-redundancy clustering support and advanced advertising capabilities, the Yuvad CES family of flagship products are also one of the most cost-effective and flexible solutions in the market.
Reconfigurable for different functions
Yuvision products can be configured by customers for either live/real-time encoding or file-based transcoding because both real-time and file-based transcoding licenses are delivered with each system. Customers will no longer be locked into a single purpose hardware system. This is ideal for users needing both live streaming and on-demand content encoding.
Affordability at the highest performance
Yuvision performance is measured not only in terms of the number of output streams per system, but also in terms of the bandwidth efficiency of the encoded output streams. With higher compression efficiency, customers save on the costs of network transport and storage, both of which are recurring costs, and improve the general viewing experience - higher video quality at any given bit rate. Clearly and competitively priced, the Yuvision systems are available in three models - Base, Standard and Premium - providing customers a clear idea of their total deployment costs.
Clustering for redundancy and scalability
Multiple Yuvision systems can be configured as a cluster (requiring an iCluster server node) to support fault-tolerance for live stream encoding. The same cluster, under the control of the Yucoder file transcoding manager software, can also provide load-balancing and fault-tolerance amongst multiple transcoding nodes.
Integrated advertising for content monetization
Yuvision products are designed with integrated advertising functionalities as optional licenses. Customers do not need to purchase additional hardware if and when they decide to monetize their OTT distributed content. With Yuvision products, advertising support that can be turned on whenever customers choose to do so with the purchase of an optional license. Yuvision advertising features include digital overlay, digital ad insertion, targeted advertising based on Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) and can be configured to support independent advertising over hundreds of live streams across multiple target devices.
