Download PDF Overview

Blackwave provides simplified video distribution management and lowest cost per stream of any content delivery solution.

Today’s traditional enterprise systems, primarily constructed for transaction processing environments, have not been designed or configured to seamlessly maximize video delivery performance. Given the escalating global demand for video over IP, providers such as cable and IPTV companies require the capability to expand operations without jeopardizing cost models. Blackwave provides a comprehensive solution that enables you to achieve this.

Blackwave for Cable Companies and IPTV Providers
Providing more delivery services means increased subscription fees. Blackwave helps to prevent asset revenue from migrating away from your network to other sites. Our system simplifies your ability to expand your offering by supporting wider delivery of VOD assets. By relaying content along terrestrial lines, you’ll be able to offer more content across all video protocols, such as MPEG-2 TS, HTTP, and RTSP. Increased content translates to more advertising revenue and higher profitability.

Superior to White-box Alternatives
Until now, there have been no viable solutions for cable companies and IPTV providers other than developing their own “white-box” Internet video storage and delivery systems. However, the complexity of delivering high-performance and adaptable video service is not a hardware issue - it’s a software issue.

Blackwave software automatically responds to the resilience, performance, and integrity requirements of each title, thereby lowering your cost and the requirements of complex delivery management and scaling:

• Popular content, treated uniquely at the title level, is mirrored and always available, without rebuilding.
• The performance requirements for user-generated content is differentiated from other content types, such as multi-language, multi-format high-definition (HD) movie trailers. The Quality of Service of each title is met with efficient storage overhead.

The design of the Blackwave System takes into account the scalability needs of clients. Our system manages vast amounts of new content without over-provisioning or attempting to select the optimal storage location based solely on system volume, ensuring flawless QoS.
