Ordinary CDN vs Perception TVCDN
CDN vs. TVCDN table shows a capabilities comparison between Perception TVCDN and traditional CDN.
The traditional legacy CDN, built to move static packets of data efficiently across long distances, requires significant integration with third-party enhancements to deliver live and on-demand TV - especially when live TV rewind and visual scrubbing with full preview are required. The more third-party integration points there are, the more prone the platform becomes to technical issues, and the cost of operation increases proportionally.
Perception is industry record holder for large scale CDN deployments!
Perception TVCDN’s unified hypermedia delivery platform can be rapidly deployed as a whitelabel, fully managed cloud service (PaaS), or it can be installed on the operator’s own servers and network infrastructure as an on-premise, fully managed private cloud solution (SaaS).
End-to-end Video Streaming Solution
Channel operators and content owners often wish to deliver direct to consumer using their own apps or websites. Today, this requires a CDN and an online video platform. Perception TVCDN unifies these elements providing high quality global streaming with a fully unified on-line video platform built in.
Uniquely, our CDN automatically turns linear TV channels into searchable catch-up TV experiences for viewers.
Viewers can rewind with the current show or scroll backwards for several days to access any previously broadcast show. Content for which catch-up TV rights are not available can easily be disabled. Our platform wide metadata search also allows viewers to easily find any specific show on any channel within the catch-up window.
Our CDN charges are highly competitive and what’s more, clients get all of the advanced online video platform feature set including 7 day EPG, automated multi-day catch up, cloud PVR and subscriber management included.
