Overview of the OTT (Over the Top) Video System

OTT video is the technical foundation of the integrated video services across three networks.

• Video service cross-network penetration – Typically uses port 80 (the same port as HTTP web browsing); avoids complex network configurations; easy to penetrate firewalls.
• Client intelligently selects video stream bitrate format.
• Simultaneously compatible with different video terminals: set-top boxes, handheld devices, PCs – three screens.
• Provide personalized video services.

The earliest OTT video application was the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) architecture promoted by Apple.

Mainstream OTT Architectures: Apple HLS, MS Smooth-Streaming
