Streaming TV

Reduce costly CDN inefficiencies

Every frame of streaming video is data on the move. The more efficiently that data is encoded and delivered, the lower the cost and the smoother the experience.

Different codecs and compression methods balance data size and processing power. Lighter files need more decoding effort, while heavier files consume more bandwidth. The goal is simple: deliver a video that looks perfect without overwhelming the device or causing buffering.

51Degrees provides the intelligence to optimize that balance for devices and networks actually consuming content. By identifying device chipsets, supported codecs, and screen sizes in real time, we help platforms group devices intelligently and deliver the same visual quality with less data.

The result is less bandwidth, buffer-free playback, and a viewing experience that dazzles on every screen.

Feed missing dimensions to your AI & Analytics investment

Even the best analysts can only see so much.

Human perception limits how deeply we can explore dashboards or datasets. We spot the obvious, follow familiar paths, and repeat the same conclusions.

AI and advanced analytics work differently. They can detect patterns across hundreds of device properties that no person could reasonably reveal. But their accuracy depends entirely on the quality and breadth of available data.

51Degrees completes the picture: precise, continually refreshed device and IP intelligence that replaces outdated make and model groupings with richer, more meaningful dimensions like chipset, price band, and device age.

The result is smarter insights, clearer correlations, and analytics that genuinely move your platform forward.

Optimize service quality before problems appear

Streaming performance starts at the hardware level.

Each year brings new chipsets and GPUs, each with different capabilities that determine how well a device can handle modern streaming demands. Networks change every day.

To deliver the best experience, it’s no longer enough to think in terms of device models and countries. The real insight lies with;

51Degrees gives streaming platforms that deeper visibility. By detecting chipsets, network, and location in real time, it helps optimize bitrates, resolution, and routing for every stream.

The result is smoother playback, fewer complaints, and Quality of Service that keeps viewers watching.

When inevitable problems are encountered AIs can be used to quickly spot QoS correlations and recommend corrective action.

Optimize every ad opportunity

In streaming TV, advertising drives revenue, but only when it’s powered by the right data.

The VAST tag system depends on accurate information about devices and viewers to decide which ads to show and when.

Sharing too much or too little data can both lead to missed opportunities. Different advertisers respond to different data granularity. Near real-time optimization is essential to get the most out of your advertising funded investment.

51Degrees helps streaming platforms find that balance. By providing precise device and IP intelligence, it lets you tailor the right level of information for each advertiser or their agent maximizing revenue.
