The VOD SEGMENTER: PREMISES encodes all profiles simultaneously and is said to work up to five times faster than real time. It is also designd to speed up encoding of asynchronous formats (an optional feature).

Designed for content providers, telcos and multiscreen operators that deploy IPTV and OTT, the VOD SEGMENTER: PREMISES accepts files via drag-and-drop and repackages them to multiple encoded HLS segment files, at the requested bitrates and resolutions. The Linux-based system includes fMP4 segment file support, which means distribution may utilise a single segment for both HLS and DASH clients.

"With this unique system, we've applied DVEO's deep experience with live encoding to file-to-file encoding," said Laszlo Zoltan, vice president of DVEO. "The VOD SEGMENTER's intelligent management programs organise, timestamp and properly ‘curate’ file segments. Operators get unified packaging to which they can add DRM on an as-needed basis; fMP4 segment file support, which means the same segment feeds both HLS and DASH clients; and catch-up TV, with superior rewind and fast-forwarding via our unique URL-based based buffering system – including insertion of real-time ads in the buffered playback."
