Wowza Media Server 3 software makes it into the Cable & Satellite International (CSI) Product Awards finalist short list in the new TV Everywhere/multi-screen video category.

The software's 3rd version (a free upgrade for Wowza Media Server 2 owners) builds on its predecessors, with additions including adaptive bit rate streaming via Wowza's Transcoder AddOn, which transforms incoming live streams from a number of sources into multiple stream sets for H.264 adaptive bit rate delivery.

The Network DVR AddOn enables licensees to deliver linear streams as time-shifted services, while a DRM AddOn handles rights management and on-the-fly video encryption for premium content streaming.
