ATLANTA, April 25, 2017 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent, (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global leader in storage,
protection, transformation, and delivery of visual assets announces
the availability of Origin Release 3, offering video service
providers the most comprehensive origin platform for ingesting,
hosting, distributing, and serving video content to any device, any
time, over any network, for content service providers.
Concurrent's Origin Release 3 adds several new
capabilities including "Restart TV" for live streams to IP devices
enabling viewers to go back to the beginning of any live show they
are watching; and new small footprint deployment options providing
lower cost entry points without compromising functionality or the
ability to scale as capacity requirements increase.
The platform uses a common integrated architecture
to enable service providers to launch live video streaming, video
on demand, Catch-up TV, Restart TV, and cloud DVR services to IP
devices and classic cable set-top boxes. Integrated content
adaptation for Just-In-Time IP packaging and encryption ensures the
content is delivered using the adaptive bitrate (ABR) format and
digital rights management (DRM) supported by the type of IP
device.
"As viewers request more video services and
flexibility for an ever-increasing array of consumer devices,
service providers are challenged to meet new expectations and
remain competitive," said Scott Ryan, Concurrent's SVP of Content
Solutions. "Concurrent's Origin Release 3 delivers new revenue
generating, value-added features supporting live, on-demand, and
cloud DVR workloads for any device, from a single platform that is
far simpler to deploy and scale."
With new redundancy and scalability features,
Origin Release 3 can now be deployed with minimal footprint,
without compromising functionality, reliability, and scalability.
Instead of multiple separate servers supporting back-office
integration, resource management, VOD, live streaming, and DVR,
Origin Release 3 enables all these services to exist on a single
server, or initially two servers to support seamless failover for
high availability. Additional servers can be added to support
live recording and streaming capacity scaling requirements.
New and enhanced features include:
- Multiple hardware and software
deployment options from software-only, VM, single server, and
clustered hardware solutions
- Restart TV for IP Devices, an
addition to a comprehensive suite of time-shift TV options for both
IP devices and RTSP set-top-boxes including Pause Live TV, Catch Up
TV and Cloud DVR
- Content delivery for all devices,
all formats, all protocols, to support RTSP/QAM Set-Top-Boxes and
IP Devices
- Direct-to-object integration with
AquariTM flexible and scalable performance storage
- Just-In-Time Packaging for streaming
the correct format required by IP devices such as Smooth Streaming,
HLS, HDS, and DASH
- Just-In-Time Encryption with DRM
(Digital Rights Management) integration
- VOD ingest and storage, live ingest
recording, and live IP streaming
- Comprehensive Back-office
integration
