Redge Media enhances platform with CDN selector and playback speed

Redge Technologies’ end-to-end OTT platform, Redge Media, has enhanced its platform with new features, including CDN selector to support Multi-CDN scenarios, content syndication, improved session management and various playback speed.

At the video delivery (VDP) layer, Redge Media has launched a CDN Selector, a SaaS solution for efficient traffic management across multiple CDNs. It enables a wide range of rule-based CDN selection criteria, including redirection based on ASN / IP addresses, HTTP headers or URL matching.

While, at the service delivery (SDP) layer, content syndication now allows video content to be showcased on external platforms. This new feature allows the material to be seamlessly embedded into 3rd party websites, resulting in detailed views of the content, in aim to extend its reach and visibility.

The player age rating feature ensures compliance with global legal standards and offers customisation. Redge media said this empowers platform owners to comply with varying age rating regulations while enhancing content safety through advisor icons.

Playback speed has been introduced for the mobile player allow users to choose the playback speeds according to their needs. Content speed options can also be set and configured by CMS operators for maximum flexibility.

The company said the next phase of the rollout of the microservices architecture and the decoupling of components has been completed. Session management, which enables the enforcement of business rules such as limiting the number of concurrent sessions and devices for a user’s account, is now implemented by a new component that runs in a multitenant model. According to Redge Media, this makes the platform more suitable for public cloud deployments and more resilient to extreme loads.

In addition, improvements were made to the tenant configuration process for the SDP Service Management Dashboard to boost multi-tenant deployments.

Commenting on the upgrades, Wojtek Turak, video delivery platform product director, said: “Redge Media’s CDN is trusted by top broadcasters and telcos in CEE and MENA, demonstrating its ability to handle high-volume, flexible CDN traffic for both linear and non-linear video delivery. Thanks to the CDN selector, we are able to handle Multi-CDN scenarios. That marks our technical excellence and flexible approach”.
