New Live Push and Live Streaming Capabilities
Give Customers Higher Quality and Lower Latencies at Scale
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider of
edge cloud services, today announced enhancements to its Live Video
Services that enable a range of low-latency streaming options as
well as serverless computing capabilities that can deliver
personalized and secure online video experiences.
Limelight’s realtime, live and on-demand video delivery services
integrate one of the world’s largest global private networks with
advanced video delivery and management capabilities, providing live
and VOD media management, packaging, and delivery of
broadcast-quality video to virtually any screen. New features and
enhancements include:
Limelight Live Push Ingest: A new service that lets
content providers take full control of live encoding workflows and
reduce origin egress costs by pushing HLS, MPEG-DASH, and
low-latency CMAF streaming media segments and manifests to
Limelight for live distribution. Live Push supports ingest of live
video from SD to 8K resolutions, offers scrubbing and DVR playback
of content, and includes redundant ingest capabilities with
automatic failover to support the world’s largest high-profile live
events. Direct integration with Limelight’s CDN enables live event
streaming to scale massively without the worry of overloading a
content provider’s origin servers.
Low-Latency Live Video Steaming: Limelight also announced
a plan to expand its range of low-latency live video delivery
options to include support for chunk transfer encoded (CTE) media
from low-latency CMAF derived media workflows. Low-latency CMAF
allows broadcasters and content distributors to deliver live
content with latencies as low as 2-3 seconds. By utilizing the
power and optimized performance of Limelight’s content delivery
infrastructure along with the new Live Push Ingest capabilities,
chunk transfer encoded media can be delivered to viewers while
media segments are still being ingested. In addition to its plans
for CTE media streaming, Limelight announced it will be increasing
the capacity of its Limelight Realtime Streaming solution in
response to customer demand. Limelight Realtime Streaming is the
first scalable, sub-second live video streaming solution that’s
natively supported by major browsers without special plug-ins. It
enables realtime interactive video workflows for sports, gaming,
wagering, auctions, live meetings, and more.
In addition, Limelight’s recently-announced EdgeFunctions has
been recognized by IDC as an innovative service that will
accelerate the proliferation of edge applications and address the
increasing demand for stream protection and advanced video content
monetization at the edge.
“EdgeFunctions adds serverless computing to Limelight’s CDN,
giving customers the ability to manipulate content for personalized
streaming, dynamic ad insertion and other use cases,” said Dave
McCarthy, Research Director, Edge Strategies at IDC. “Developers
can define and deploy workflows at the network edge, achieving the
low latency responses that are required for real-time
interactions.”
“Limelight is dedicated to removing the barriers our customers
face in providing the highest quality online video experiences,”
said Nigel Burmeister, Vice President of Global Marketing at
Limelight. “Whether it’s the largest broadcasters trying to reach a
massive global audience, smaller OTT services, gaming companies or
corporations who need a partner who can manage, package, and
deliver their video content, companies who need realtime video for
interactive applications, or e-learning providers trying to keep up
with growing demand, Limelight is committed to helping our
customers succeed by delivering the highest quality live and
on-demand video.”
