SyncCast Unwraps New Streaming Bandwidth Report Tool

A new bandwidth reporting tool which tracks by users and content alike, giving content owners real-time streaming bandwidth use reporting, was unwrapped April 22 by SyncCast.

The tool, Xstream Logger Plug-in, is now integrated into SyncCast's Digital Rights Management Solution, and can provide that real-time streaming bandwidth reporting even if the content is issued under a single license. SyncCast said that feature could translate into "tremendous savings" in license fees for content owners.

"XStream Logger Plug-in does not require separate licenses for each piece of media, but instead allows the issue of a single license to each user for viewing content," the company said. "The need for detailed reporting often forces content owners to require individual licenses for each object, or piece of media. The exceptional real-time reporting capabilities of SyncCast’s XStream Logger however, allow a single license to be issued without compromising reporting quality."

Content owners can also regulate all the licensing parameters themselves, by way of a client-side interface, DRM Dashboard, SyncCast added. "All changes take place instantly and, in conjunction with the instant reporting capabilities, afford content owners maximum understanding and control of their revenue streams," the company said. And, content owners can have complete control, protecting files individually with different keys or all or groups of files with a single key.
