AV Unit's video streaming services are part of the world's largest fault-tolerant network including 20,000 servers in 71 countries - to stream both live and on demand content in any format.

For on-demand requests, the delivery network will automatically identify the optimal server closest to the viewer, route the streams there and deliver them from the "edge" of the Internet. For live streaming, to avoid the 'jerkiness' caused by packet loss several copies of the same stream are sent over different routes that are combined to form one complete stream for the highest quality streaming experience.

Our video streaming service includes the following features;

Support and encoding for Apple® QuickTime™ , Microsoft® Windows Media™, RealSystem® G2, and Adobe Flash® Streaming, for both narrowband and broadband use Flexible delivery of both live and on-demand streaming content Flexible and affordable packages to suit all sizes of business TV-quality images with no buffering Intuitive management system to provision, start, and report on streaming events Detailed reporting on streams and visitors including average time played, player version and geographic audience
