HTTP Dynamic Streaming
What is HTTP Dynamic Streaming?
HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) enables on-demand and live adaptive bitrate video delivery of standards-based MP4 media over regular HTTP connections. HDS lets you leverage existing cache infrastructures and provides tools for integration of content preparation into existing encoding workflows.
Unparalleled reach

Adobe Access Server support for protected streaming
Protect your valuable content with file encryption and fast play start, while still allowing seamless access for the viewer. Maintain control of your content throughout the production workflow.
HD quality
Deliver high-definition video up to 1080p, with bitrates from 700kbps up to and beyond 6Mbps, using either H.264 or VP6 video codecs, or AAC and MP3 audio codecs.
Robust, scalable delivery
Use existing caching infrastructures and standard HTTP server hardware to deliver on-demand and live content on a large scale with maximum quality.
