Sye is an ultra-low latency live streaming solution that includes functionality to synchronize individual feeds across devices throughout the entire experience. The Sye solution brings a TV-like viewing experience to anyone on an OTT platform, including features such as; instant playback; fast channel changes; seamless ad-insertion, and an exceptional viewing experience.

With a streaming protocol optimized for live, Sye s tolerance for packet loss and geographical distance is significantly higher than traditional OTT streaming solutions, making it a perfect fit for a cloud environment. Streaming in the cloud is a perfect fit for large live OTT events, with the possibility to instantly spin up a scalable global Content Delivery Network (CDN) service and then take it down ensuring customers only pay for the resources used.
