PSDK 1.3 for iOS Programmer's Guide

  • Overview and prerequisites
    The Adobe Primetime Software Development Kit (PSDK) client for iOS is a toolkit that provides you with the means to add advanced video playback functionality to your applications. This PSDK also supports ad insertion, content protection, and analytics.
  • New features for 1.3
    Summary of product enhancements for the 1.3 iOS PSDK.
  • SDK changes for 1.3
    Several API interfaces have changed for the 1.3 PSDK for iOS.
  • Create a video player
    The PSDK provides the tools that you need for creating your own advanced video player application, which you can integrate with other Primetime components.
  • Work with MediaPlayer objects
    The PTMediaPlayer object represents your media player and a PTMediaPlayerItem represents audio or video on your player.
  • Include advertising
    The Primetime SDK for iOS allows you to request ads for your live/linear and VOD content through its Primetime Ad Decisioning interface.
  • Customize opportunity detectors and content resolvers
    An opportunity detector is a component of the PSDK that detects custom tags in a stream and identifies placement opportunities. These placement opportunities are then sent to the content resolver, which customizes the content/ad insertion workflow based on the placement opportunity properties and metadata.
  • Subtitles and Closed Captioning
    Subtitle streams run in parallel with the main content. Closed captions are part of the data packets of the MPEG-2 video streams inside of the video transmission stream.
  • Set up alternate audio
    Alternate (late-binding) audio is the support of multiple language tracks for HTTP video streams (live/linear and VOD) without having to duplicate and repackage the video for each audio track. Late binding of an audio track allows you to easily provide multiple language tracks for a video asset at any time before or after the asset’s initial packaging.
  • Use Video Analytics in a PSDK-based Player
    Video Analytics is Adobe's real-time video tracking solution, which is available to you through the Primetime SDK.
  • Content security using DRM
    You can use the features of the Primetime digital rights management (DRM) system to provide secure access to your video content.
  • Use the notification system
    The notification portion of the PSDK library allows you to create a logging and debugging system that can be useful for diagnostic and validation purposes.
  • Customized Logging
    You can implement your own logging system.
  • Understanding Failover
    Failover handling occurs whenever a variant playlist has multiple renditions for the same bit rate and one of the renditions stops working.
  • Primetime Player classes summary
    You can use the Primetime Player Objective C API to customize the behavior of the player.
  • Notification codes
    The PSDK notification system includes various classes of notification events produced by the PSDK.
