Wowza Media Server 3 - Perpetual Edition Single Server License

Wowza Media Server 3 is the next generation of Wowza's award-wining streaming server software providing a single extensible foundation and value-added components for "Any Screen Done Right" media delivery.

Wowza Media Server 3 delivers exceptional live and on-demand streaming performance and makes hard to implement features such as live adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming and time-shifted live playback simple and cost-effective. With Wowza Media Server 3, organizations of any size can profit from these high-value features while offering their viewers the best possible experience — when and where they want it.

Wowza Media Server 3 simultaneously streams to the broadest range of screens and devices, including computers, iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ smartphones and tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and more. A variety of AddOn components are available to help you better deliver, transform, protect, integrate and manage your live and on-demand media streaming, chat and recording.

Only Wowza Media Server 3 lets you simultaneously stream your H.264/AAC content to any screen. With Wowza Server 3 you don't have to use client-specific encoders and servers, or pre-process files for consumption by specific clients - it works with a wide range of conventional RTMP, RTSP/RTP or MPEG-TS H.264 encoders for live streaming, and for on-demand content, with standard file container formats.

And with Wowza Transcoder AddOn, your live content source doesn't have to be H.264. Your MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (and H.264) content will be transcoded on-the-fly to multiple bitrates for perfect adaptive bitrate H.264 streaming.

With Wowza Media Server 3 you can truly take the H.264 content everywhere.

Content owners, producers, and delivery network operators gain many benefits by deploying Wowza Media Server 3, including:

• Simultaneous streaming to Flash, iOS (iPhone, iPad and other HLS-compatible devices), Android smartphones and tablets, 3GPP mobile devices, Silverlight, IPTV set-tops and more...
• Get significant cost savings by eliminating unnecessary infrastructures and the burden of the multi-format file storage
• Improve viewer experience with adaptive bitrate streaming and nDVR time-shifted viewingfor Flash DHS, HLS and Smooth streaming
• Boost infrastructure efficiency by selecting the most effective ingest and streaming methods according to your audience needs

Now you can truly expand your streaming horizons.
