Broadpeak's video server and analytics solutions are designed to form a complete video delivery chain for pay-TV operators, simplifying their OTT multiscreen operations. Video is packaged using HLS or the next-generation MPEG-DASH ABR standard and protected with DRM. After being stored on Broadpeak's BkS350 origin server, video is then streamed to end-user devices via the BkS400 cache server and played out on the NexPlayer SDK.

NexStreaming's NexPlayer SDK supports MPEG-DASH, HSL, and all major DRM solutions including Playready and Widevine, enabling operators to integrate the solution into Android applications and provide secure HDTV video quality on all Android phones, tablets, set-top-boxes and TV sets.

"Today's pay-TV operators must have access to detailed analytics in order to understand the end-user experience," commented Broadpeak CEO Jacques Le Mancq. "By integrating NexStreaming player with our analytics solution, we enable operators to extract crucial analytics about the QoE. By allowing operators to dive deeper into the end-user experience, we enable them to deliver a better QoS and QoE, giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace."
