Designed to address the growing need to converge IP video streaming and broadcast technologies in order to allow service providers to seamlessly deliver their service across multiple networks such as over-the-top, broadcast and IPTV, the Q-Stream™ mABR server is an on-premise content delivery server compatible with the DVB-NIP tech stack. It can receive HLS/DASH streams or files of any type over multiple interface protocols, encode them into FLUTE packets and generate a DVB-MPE transport stream or an IP stream ready for GSE/DVB-S2X broadcast.
Utilizing PCIe extension slots, the Q-Stream™ mABR server can, depending on the target application, integrate with a variety of modules such as receivers, video encoders and modulators, turning it into a powerful all-in-one platform converging traditional broadcast and the latest IP streaming technologies.
The Q-Stream™ mABR server embeds an intuitive web UI allowing users to ingest content from various sources, manage play out lists for broadcast and define the target group of gateways for each broadcast. Its high performance, cost-effective hardware combined with simplicity of operation, makes it an ideal solution for video service providers that want to profit from the convergence of IP and broadcast technologies, extend their service over multiple networks and screens to locations with limited or no Internet connectivity.
