Your Challenge

Uploading of large volumes of content videos in high definition with relatively low bandwidth costs quickly and securely while providing smooth playback experience in complicated user playback scenarios poses challenges to service providers.

Our Solution

  • ApsaraVideo VOD combines scenario-based SDKs and leading transcoding technology to tackle these challenges. Video uploads are accelerated, resumable, and compatible with API, SDK, and PC client software. Uploaded videos are protected by multi-dimensional security mechanisms including video encryption, anti-leeching, blacklist and whitelist, playback authentication, secured video download, anti-recording technology, and watermarks. Narrowband HD 2.0 improves text clarity in videos while reducing bitrate by up to 30%. The Player SDK supports video playback on a full range of platforms, and leverages the adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) algorithm to optimize the playback performance of multi-bitrate video streams.
