Broadpeak, a leading provider of content delivery network (CDN) technologies and live and video-on-demand (VOD) platforms, has unveiled a new impulsive recording capabilities for its cloud-PVR solution. The solution enables video content for multiple end-users to be recorded and stored only once, either on managed or unmanaged networks. Broadpeak's impulsive recording technology significantly reduces operators' storage expenses, said the company.
Broadpeak also said that its cloud-PVR solution has been successfully deployed by a number of IPTV, cable, and OTT operators in Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Time-based and impulsive recording can be very challenging for cloud-PVR operators, even when shared copy models are allowed. While the capture can be mutualized when two users request a recording of the same program, a specific technology is required when the recording's start and end times are under the control of each end-user in order to avoid duplicating the video chunks.
