What is Adaptive Streaming (Smooth Streaming)?
Panopto Focus 4.0 introduces support for live broadcasts and on-demand playback using variable bitrate adaptive streaming. Not only does this technology work well with proxy servers, firewalls, and content delivery networks, it improves streaming performance by delivering the best video available for each individual viewer’s network connection. Combined with HD recording, Adaptive Streaming helps presenters deliver the best possible experience to users on connections ranging from 3G wireless to gigabit LAN.
