Olympusat is using Sola Media Solutions to simplify the secure delivery of HD-quality video content to the widest multi-screen audience possible. Uploading a single content master mezzanine file to a watch folder on Sola Spheres NetStorage initiates an automated workflow that generates and packages multiple video renditions that are optimised for playback across iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, desktops, connected TVs, gaming consoles and OTT devices. The new workflow is intended to help Olympusat realise efficiencies and benefits that can be passed on to customers in the form of streamlined costs, turnaround time, content protection and expanded reach.

Austin Powers, President, Olympusat Telecom. Akamai gives us the necessary workflow tools and scale to meet the vast set of requirements that are critical to success in todays world of multi-screen content consumption.
Olympusat has started deploying an Akamai content workflow consisting of the following key Sola Vision and Sola Sphere components:
Transcoding: Multiple renditions of a single mezzanine file are created for adaptive bitrate streaming in order to improve viewing experience on various viewing devices.
SecureHD: A modular set of conditional access solutions designed to provide protection against unauthorised use and redistribution of online streaming video content.
Stream Packaging: Player requests are automatically interpreted in real time, enabling on-the-fly stream formatting for compatibility with the viewing device.
NetStorage and Stream Delivery: Reliable online storage and HTTP media delivery to address the broad variety of network types and streaming formats.
Olympusat is leveraging the power of Akamais cloud-based Sola Media platform to simplify and expedite many of the time-consuming processes that go into creating and delivering high-quality video content to connected devices, said Bill Wheaton, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Akamais Media Division. Not only can Olympusat address current requirements, but Sola Media is helping them future-proof their workflow with the ability to quickly and easily add support for new formats and standards.
