Dilthium announced the availability of live video and Video On Demand (VOD) streaming support for the Android handsets utilizing the Dilithium Content Adapter (DCA). The DCA solution is an infrastructure offering that can be deployed by operators and service providers enabling their customers to access live or on demand video content through the standard players and browser of most handsets, including the iPhone.
The DCA software solution supports live and pre-recorded clips in a wide range of video formats. DCA performs on the fly and on demand transport, media format, codec and bitrate adaptation. Android (e.g. T-Mobile G1) users can enjoy live and video-on-demand streaming without the need to install a special application, and may be on WiFi, WiMax, 3G, or 3.5G (HSDPA) networks.
DCA patent-pending technologies and architecture allow smart transcoding, transrating and trans-sizing on the fly. It supports the widest range of phones and devices through RTSP, HTTP (including progressive download), and MPEG2/H.264 TS. It supports codecs such as, H.263, H.264, MPEG4, MPEG2, MJPEG, and popular audio codecs. The DCA features a PHP-based high level API that offers easy integration in operator and service provider frameworks and workflows. DCA has the most advanced built-in caching feature allowing significant reduction in unnecessary adaptation while providing support for ad-insertion.
