The download delivery mode can be used for all types of data (multimedia and otherwise). Once the download is complete, the delivered object can be used (i.e. visualized, listened to, etc.).
Ipercast can provide its clients with a high-speed, secure download solution (https) through its highly reliable and efficient CDN architecture.
This method of video distribution over IP is routinely used in the media industry, whether for Video on Demand services – including purchasing - or podcasting.

With Progressive Download, multimedia files are downloaded from a server to a client station, using the http protocol. It is a regular downloading service with the downloaded object remaining on the client station. The only difference is that the video (or audio) player is able to start reading the content before the download process is complete.

Progressive Download has enjoyed phenomenal success over the last few years, through video-sharing sites like YouTube or DailyMotion. The Flash Player technology developed by Adobe - of whom ipercast is one of the key partners in France - quickly established a leading position in the Progressive Download market. This is due to its ease-of-use and innovative user experience.

The ipercast Progressive Download service supports all industry standards and is compatible with all major video formats (FLV, MP4/H. 264, etc.), with unprecedented on-screen fluidity.
