B-1™ Video Server

Video service providers (VSPs) need to deliver advanced on-demand services while optimizing their storage, streaming and network bandwidth costs in the face of real-time ingest of live content, rapidly expanding content libraries and flattening concurrency curves.

Motorola B-1™ Video Servers provide a flexible, reliable and high-performance platform for video on demand (VOD®), time-shifted TV, network-based digital video recording (nDVR) and on-demand ad insertion.
