Adobe Primetime Origin Server serves HTTP streaming files to HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) clients or HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) clients. It accepts HDS or HLS content from Primetime packagers or encoders and serves it to HDS or HLS clients over HTTP.
Origin Server can accept HDS and HLS input from Primetime packagers. Primetime Origin Server accepts HTTP PUT requests from one or more Primetime packagers to publish content. The Origin Server is used to serve out HDS and HLS artifacts.
The distribution file contains default configuration settings that allow Origin Server to start up, accept HDS fragments from the packager, and publish them.
