Smooth Streaming

Playing On-Demand

Smooth Streaming enables uninterrupted streaming to Silverlight and other clients via HTTP, up to true HD (720p+). The quality level for each user seamlessly shifts as needed to adapt to changing bandwidth and playback conditions.

Playing Live

Live Smooth Streaming provides massive scalability, full DVR controls, and extended engagement times for PCs, Macs, set-top boxes, and mobile devices – including support for Apple devices.

Full-Strength Player

Get started quickly using the Smooth Streaming Client for Silverlight 4 and Silverlight for Windows Phone 7, with support for DVR, DRM, H.264 & VC-1, multiple audio/video tracks, analytics, and much more.

Nice, Neat Package

Want to add Smooth Streaming or Protected Interoperable File Format (PIFF) output to your application or encoder? Use the Smooth Streaming Format SDK.

Multicast

Combining traditional multicast with Smooth Streaming, Smooth Multicast provides best-quality user experiences with low network overhead (coming soon!).

Convert with Ease

Whether you need to convert either full media libraries or a steady flow of incoming files, let Transform Manager automate the job submission, scheduling, management, media transcoding, and encryption.

Analytics

Measure and then monetize your IIS-delivered media experiences with customizable client and server data, and share that information in real-time with a third-party analytics service, using Advanced Logging.

Scale to the Edge

Users have a better experience when your web and media content is close to them, so use Application Request Routing on your edge servers to provide proxying and disk-based edge caching.

Intelligent Progressive Downloads

Bit Rate Throttling increases scalability for progressive downloads while reducing bandwidth costs by intelligently detecting and metering media files.

Perfect Control

Server-based Web Playlists enables you to protect, personalize, and monetize your progressively downloaded media assets across multiple media formats.
