Today’s video consumer demands access to more programming across an ever-growing array of mobile and fixed devices and networks. Service providers need fully featured, resilient solutions that are able to maximize the quality, quantity and footprint parameters required in today’s multiscreen, TV Everywhere environment.
Offering up to 10 times the density and 10 times less power consumption than competitive solutions, SelenioNext can replace an entire headend of video processing in a single platform. SelenioNext is an all-in-one TV Everywhere solution that enables service providers to ingest precompressed services and transcode, package, encrypt and stream multiscreen, multi-device video. Integrating multiple functions within a single, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) server platform, it provides a highly dense, scalable and operationally efficient package designed to meet the growing demand for cloud DVR, IPTV and live programming to mobile and connected screens.
Available in 1U and 2U appliances or in a 10U blade system, the Mediaroom-certified SelenioNext easily fits into optimal form factors for all online video applications — from providing a handful of IPTV streams to thousands of multiscreen transcodes. Utilizing advanced Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) technology, the system is unmatched in its support of up to 320 HD ABR or 440 SD ABR profiles per 2U server and its ability to scale up to any number of profiles per video program. SelenioNext also features an onboard broadcast management system for superior control and visibility into network resource optimization.
