#### How It Works

1. Ingest your live stream or upload on-demand content to the [Medianova Control Panel](https://cloud.medianova.com) or via API.
2. Medianova encodes and segments the stream into adaptive bitrate formats (HLS, DASH).
3. Content is cached at CDN edge nodes for faster delivery.
4. End users receive the best possible video quality depending on their bandwidth and device.
5. Optional DRM or access control policies enforce secure, authorized playback.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Adaptive streaming protocols (e.g., HLS, MPEG-DASH) dynamically adjust bitrate per user session, ensuring consistent performance under varying network conditions.
