Slovak company Antik Technology launches implementation of HTTP Live Streaming standard into the product line of IPTV set-top boxes Juice as optimal solution for OTT video delivery. The set-top box with HLS support is accompanied by Juice HLS streaming server platform.
October 25.10.2011 - Antik Technology, provider of IPTV solutions, announces new feature of the Juice line of IPTV set-top boxes - HTTP Live Streaming standard (HLS). The technological innovation is part of comprehensive IPTV solution called Juice Media Server Family for HTTP Live Streaming based on streaming server platform made by Antik that supports OTT full adaptive streaming and multi-screen video.
HTTP Live Streaming lets distribute stream live video and audio over HTTP using public internet to the computers or TV. "Our developers created set-top box that supports HTTP Live Streaming. HLS allows stream live and on demand video through internet also in less stable networks because of its protocol type and STB buffer. We offer end-to-end solution for companies that provide over-the-top content delivery from now," said Igor Kolla, Antik Technology CEO.
HLS supports both live broadcasts and video on demand. It works by breaking the overall stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file download. Each download loading one short 10-second chunk of an overall potentially unbounded transport stream. Set-top box Juice by Antik with HLS has a buffer that helps also in worse conditions - problems with slow and unstable network, broadband router, connection with computer etc. The buffer acts as temporary store to smooth out any variations in the video stream when the connection breaks down. HTTP Live Streaming is able of traversing any firewall or proxy server that lets through standard HTTP traffic unlike UDP-based protocols. Antik Technology implements the feature of HLS support to the all set-top boxes Juice – Basic, Mini, Pro, 3D Extreme and Hybrid. One of set-top boxes supporting HLS made by Antik is showed on next picture.
