Aspera  FASPStream

IBM Aspera Streaming for Video uses Aspera FASPStream technology to send a unicast or multicast video stream over the internet using ascp4. Streams are reliably and bit-perfect replicated at the receiving endpoint with minimal and predictable latency, with rates from 10s of Mbps to multiple Gbps, and follow the standard Aspera FASP security framework. The most common example of an input stream is media, which is encoded as a ‘transport stream’ (often referred to as MPEG-TS). Streaming for Video generally transfers a video stream from a streaming provider, a system external to Streaming for Video that produces a video stream, and a stream consumer, a system external to Streaming for Video that receives a video stream.

Components involved:

1. Aspera FASPStream Sender:

It is having a valid sender license. Here the sender is the system that initiates the transfer and sends a request to a receiver for a streaming session

2. Aspera FASPStream Receiver:

It receives all incoming streams, All FASPStream are encrypted in transit and security authenticated using standard public/private key authentication or Aspera’s multi-tenant access key system.

Use Case:

Aspera FASPStream is the first open video transport solution that is capable of high-quality, live streaming over commodity Internet WANs. It ensures that live video streams and data are delivered with less than five seconds of delay, which is especially critical in the sports gambling industry. Additionally, all content delivered with FASPStream is encrypted in transit with tight user access controls using standard public/private key authentication to prevent unauthorized access to live streams from the venues.
