Low-latency origin
solutions

Phenix low-latency origin can handle ingest, distribution encoding, and hand-off to existing CDNs to achieve a 10 second latency across multiple CDNs with full DRM support.

Low-latency origin workflow

Phenix low-latency origin has two operating modes:

1 - Handle ingest and distribution encoding and hand off to CDN; latency is 10 seconds end-to-end with full DRM support.

OR

2 - Client will provide an encoded stream to Phenix to handle all content delivery; latency is 6-8 seconds excluding encoding.

Adaptive bitrate

Phenix ABR allows for the best possible video quality and resolution regardless of a user's connection, OS or device

Content protection
