  • It will not re-encode or re-compress the input source and deliver the same to any platform and form factors.
  • It supports streaming at any – bitrate, frame rate, video resolution, video profiles, color mode, scan type, audio sample rate, bit depth, etc.
  • It will be the first streaming delivery to give support for any profiles of video and audio world.
  • xHS™ delivery is based on HTTP protocol and can be integrated into any platforms.
  • xHS™ delivery will carry a downgrade version along with studio quality for poor internet connections and legacy devices.
  • xHS™ will not use the physical RAM while streaming instead it uses sync server technology to handle any high bitrate video and audio on PC, Tablets, mobile platforms, etc.
