Elevated X CMS Adds Streaming Video Support
The Elevated X CMS now has video streaming support!
We?ve added HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) which allows adaptive MP4 video file streaming and seeking ahead while watching a video on a Flash enabled PC or an IOS device without requiring the use of any server modules installed. Elevated X CMS powered web sites will now be able to offer streaming videos to iPhone and iPad users.
For devices that don't support HLS, the system will still serve a standard MP4 file, allowing the user experience to remain the same as it is now for CMS users with or without Wowza.
In addition to cost savings for Elevated X customers, there are some major benefits to web site viewers. Most importantly is the ability to adaptively stream to Apple devices, which represent an increasingly important target segment to streaming publishers. CMS customers without the optional video encoding add-on can manually create and upload their own HLS files. For CMS customers using optional automatic video encoding features, source video files are automatically cut into multiple files at different data rates and divided into short chunks for streaming delivery.
What this means in layman?s terms is that if you use Elevated X to run your web sites, your site will automatically deliver the correct size file to a viewer based on their connection speed. The video playback experience will be optimized for each viewer. The video bandwidth/quality adjustment also applies to iPad and iPhone users.
This addition is the first of a series of planned steps to make video viewing better for the users that make up the largest adult content buying markets.
