Media Delivery

With the evolution of smartphones and tablets, mobile devices have quickly become the primary means by which consumers interact with web-based media. Media managers and content developers simply cannot ignore this shift. The problem lies in maintaining content designed for multiple devices and platforms; it puts pressure on the developer to juggle different versions of the same site. The industry's answer to this problem has been the creation of automated adaptation techniques as a means of device-agnostic media delivery. However, how do these techniques handle usability? Do they improve the experience or simply mirror the content? Increased usability can lead to higher levels of user satisfaction and engagement. Therefore, media managers should be cognizant of these effects. This article presents a study of techniques in content adaptation and the factors that influence the success of media distributed on mobile platforms. Included is an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current methods and techniques along with consideration for future technologies.

Media Delivery

The media streaming server technology have been developed in the recent past using free software and open source approaches. But commercial approaches are preferred by certain multimedia big enterprises. These enterprises dominate the mobile media delivery business. For this reason we think it is interesting to discover the main characteristics of the principal commercial platforms to deliver mobile video streaming to mobile devices and its main key features: Media and delivery components. We will give our vision on: Real Networks’ Helix Media delivery components based on RTSP and Microsoft’s IIS Media Services based on HTTP. The aim of this book chapter is to provide detailed insight into these different streaming approaches and how these platforms and protocols aid in building flexible streaming applications for mobile devices. A comparison among these approaches is also provided and also we present the delivery of video streaming to Apple mobile devices in the two commercial approaches.
