  DCA Product Brief
 

Content Adapters

 
 
The DCA is a flexible, high performance solution for the adaptation of media delivery to a wide range of target devices and networks. Media adaptation and conversion is carried out in real-time with minimal latency, avoiding the need to perform off-line transcoding, with resultant media objects being cached as required to give maximum performance and throughput.

The DCA supports client access from a very wide range of sources including HTTP and RTSP servers, and adapts between a diverse range of file formats and codec types before delivering the content using the protocol best suited to the clients device and network.

Source media URIs and target media parameters are defined using application scripts which can also interface with external application servers and databases.
