Why ByteArk Stream
Every piece works together in one system
A CDN built for video, a management system with an API, and layered content protection. No need to stitch tools together yourself.
Delivery
A CDN built for video
ByteArk's network is designed for streaming, with over 2,000 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth in Thailand and direct connections to every major ISP. Large audiences can watch at once without stalls.
- Over 2,000 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth in Thailand
- Direct connections to every major ISP to cut latency
- Adaptive streaming matches quality to each viewer's connection
Easy to manage, easy to extend
One dashboard, plus API and Webhook
Upload, edit metadata and set member permissions in a project from one dashboard. When you want to connect your own systems, use the REST API, Upload SDK and Webhook.
- Upload, retrieve and import videos via REST API (import from S3 and HTTPS)
- Get real-time processing status via Webhook
- Video Upload SDK (JavaScript) and Form Upload SDK
Content security
Protect video at every layer
Control who can watch, from where, and on which website. Signed URL stops link sharing, and high-value content can use Clear Key or Multi-DRM (Widevine + FairPlay).
- Signed URL stops copied links from playing elsewhere
- Multi-DRM (Widevine + FairPlay) and Clear Key encryption
- Geo-blocking and domain allow/block lists
