Introduction
BestFrontSeat uses a world-leading compression technology and a global IP network to deliver stable high quality video over the Internet. Further details of both of these key technologies are outlined below.

Compression Technology
The PSI™ Video Compression engine enables BestFrontSeat to deliver high quality video material with a much lower band-width usage than any of our competitors. The bit rates for streaming can be varied according to the target device, the band-width capacity to be used and the quality required. The compression engine has a rich list of features that can flow to any media application that requires delivery of high quality video and audio.
The key features of compactness, scalability, and priority have been attained as the main features of the PSI_V™ technology. PSI_V™ technology is an open and general-purpose architecture that effectively integrates these three features into a single platform for digital media coding.
The following two illustrations show how the regional encoding approach, used by the PSI_V™technology, differs from the traditional based encoding approach:

The Even PSI_V™ codec treats what it sees more like the human eye than the traditional DCT based approach by applying selective compression ratios to varying parts of the scene. This enables the PSI_V™ codec to apply higher compression to less important aspects of a scene such as a static background element, and lower compression ratios to more visually important elements, such as the butterfly in this example.

Delivery Technology
BestFrontSeat.com has contracted to use a global IP network to deliver all our clients video material. Bestfrontseat.com is able to make this vast network available to any and every customer.

The network infrastructure has been designed and built for one purpose: to move Internet traffic fast and to maximize the user experience through high performance and reliable delivery of every audience request, every time. So no matter how challenging your delivery requirements, how large your files or how massive and diverse your video content library, our server and network infrastructure can support your business. Everyone knows that long response times, slow connections, jittery video and unavailable Web servers lead to lost customers and lost revenues. The Smart Content Delivery (SCD) system was designed to prevent these unacceptable performance problems. The SCD technology uses three components to work together for faster download times, faster connections, steady video streams and reliable managed services.
Global deployment
Each of our Data centres houses thousands of servers, taking the strain away from our client's own servers and bandwidth connections. Once a client's video content enters the deployment network it is instantly delivered to the ‘regional content delivery centres’.
These centres are strategically located in key distribution points around the globe:

No matter how big your content library
Each distribution centre has the capacity to store for any clients entire content catalogue and a dedicated high-speed network spans the globe, interconnecting all of our regional data centres over a fibre-optic backbone. This provides us with the ability and stability to deliver even 24/7 Live event broadcasts without delay or congestion. And even the most obscure video title in your video library can blast their way to your viewers at SCD speeds just as fast as your most popular objects.
Peering networks
The Bestfrontseat network boasts direct connections to more than 800 networks around the world. And since most of these edge server connections use superfast 10GigE technology, your content is delivered in the fastest way possible. On most connections delivery is straight to the local networks your audiences use every day, enabling your video content to bypass the often-congested public Internet connections. We make sure that even the most obscure video content titles in your library, are sent at the highest possible speed, and delivered to your viewers at SCD speeds making them available just as fast as your most popular titles.
