For Galxy, the commercial focus is on on-demand video: prepared media delivered when a viewer chooses to watch it.
On-demand streaming in plain language
A source video is prepared for playback, stored, requested by a viewer and delivered over the network in a form the playback experience can consume.
What affects the experience
Encoding choices, bitrate, storage availability, delivery performance, player behavior and the viewer's network all influence playback quality.
What Galxy is not claiming here
This guide focuses on Galxy's on-demand product scope: content management, encoding, storage and delivery.
Next step
If you are evaluating a platform rather than learning the concept, compare the operational workflow and the cost model together.
