Standardization of IP video content delivery over the Internet is gaining significant industry support as a key enabler for the advancement of multiscreen TV adoption. SeaWell Networks’ Spectrum is the only industry solution that provides universal ABR conversion and delivery for network operators around the globe. DASH is the latest format for streaming video over IP networks. It allows devices such as Internet connected televisions, IP set-top boxes, desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets to consume content delivered via the Internet or managed IP networks. DASH endeavors to allow this technology to be universally implemented, compared to similar solutions such as HLS by Apple, Smooth Streaming by Microsoft, or HDS by Adobe.

With the integration of the international DASH industry standard, Spectrum enables operators to not only deliver content efficiently in DASH or any other format, but to now insert advertising seamlessly into the live or VOD stream — a market first. Spectrum is a session control solution for Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming video that enables operators to deliver content to any connected device, while arming them with the power and personalization of dynamic ad insertion, stream management and analytics that provide significant network efficiencies and cost-savings.
