Red Apple Media Offers ‘Netflix Experience’ via Cloud-based Streaming

SAN DIEGO—Nothing repels a viewer faster than buffering and choppy video, but now adult entertainment fans can have the same smooth viewing experience they enjoy with Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube. Red Apple Media’s latest online tutorial shows content providers how they can quickly and easily switch from sluggish progressive download – common throughout adult entertainment – without changing anything else about how they run their sites. Red Apple Media has released the new demo video to show content providers how to offer members a true “Netflix experience” using adaptive bit rate streaming, aka true streaming, now officially available to the adult market. Accessible in the “cloud,” Red Apple Media’s true streaming technology can be installed on any site – no matter where it’s hosted – and is compatible with any CMS, including MAS, for easy and seamless integration. At redapplemedia.com, viewers can watch the magic of adaptive bitrate streaming through JW Player on both mobile and desktop devices. Media Commander software also supports FlowPlayer, Silverlight and more. “Adaptive bit rate streaming is much more complex than what most content providers – and even some hosting companies – are used to, and it’s common to assume it’s beyond their financial and technological capabilities,” said Red Apple Media CTO and co-founder Remik Kolodziej. “So we created Media Commander, a web-based platform that makes it fast and easy to publish true streaming video and can be implemented on any site regardless of where it’s hosted or what CMS it uses. And we do all of the work for you, so there’s no downtown, stress or hassle. Our new demo shows what a clear difference adaptive bit rate makes not only for the viewer, but for the content provider, too.” Rather than delivering an entire file, true streaming through Media Commander uses only enough bandwidth for the parts of the videos watched, saving owners money while preventing piracy and file-sharing. Website owners can publish content with a convenient copy-and-paste format that supports FlowPlayer, JWPlayer, Silverlight and more, while benefitting from advanced security that ensures only valid authorized members can access content. Media Commander also offers comprehensive reporting, giving site owners access to live data to monitor downloads, track bandwidth and analyze popular videos and top users with the ability to drill down a user IP by date and time. Site owners can reduce bandwidth costs by fine-grain throttling and limiting the number of concurrent downloads per user or domain, while adjusting download rates based on membership levels for easy up-sales.
