Streamline content packaging

Fastly’s On-the-Fly Packager (OTFP) add-on helps organizations cut costs associated with duplicating content for different packaging HTTP streaming protocols (e.g HLS and DASH). OTFP is also feature rich with support for DRM partner integrations, content pre-conditioning for ad insertion, and trickplay support.

Tailor content to different device types

Device detection allows you to write logic to tailor content for a variety of device types, improving delivery quality and user experience. This provides the ability for you to detect a handset, tablet, and more in order to deliver the correct mobile version of your content.

Protect your content

Fastly protects your video content in a number of different ways, including Edge authorization tokens, geofencing and media encryption. We also integrate with multi-DRM providers like ExpressPlay, castLabs, and buyDRM for content protection, while our fully configurable platform allows you to set rules to detect when VPNs and proxies are being used to bypass content protection.

Enabling geofencing

Play ads and track performance

Fastly supports Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) workflows through several features that provide more granular control over how your video is packaged. Timed metadata injection lets you embed metadata that signals a player to play ads and track performance or engagement at specific points in the video timeline.
