Edgeware has announced the launch of its new StreamPilot session control platform that will give broadcasters, content providers, and telecom and cable operators real-time, in-session and per segment delivery control when streaming media in a multi-CDN environment. The SaaS-based StreamPilot uses a new patented (pending) technology by Edgeware to control every session with per-segment granularity between the client and the delivering CDN. This ensures quality of experience (QoE) by actively monitoring, e.g. bitrate, and if required, switch sessions between CDNs in real time and during ongoing sessions. Solutions typically depend on the delivery CDN, can only support a subset of media formats and often require client integration. StreamPilot, however, avoids all of these limitations. It is CDN independent, so does not require an Edgeware CDN system or depend on any other delivery CDN. It also supports all media formats, including DASH (for Android clients) and HLS (for Apple clients), regardless if it is live or on-demand. Finally, it is client agnostic and therefore, provides a smooth and fast service turn-up. StreamPilot features an all-seeing dashboard with an open API to enable automation and integration. This provides unique insights into important CDN performance indicators such as load, performance and cost, as well as end user experience. This information is key when optimizing and enhancing CDN delivery, especially when using multiple CDNs.
