Current Multimedia Systems: Netflix

Current multimedia systems: Netflix

The origin of Netflix was manifested in Spain, on August 291997, created by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings. The idea of founding Netflix was Reed Hastings after having to pay an addition. I analyze this situation together with its colleague Marc Randolph, and used the DVD rental service via postal mail, with a monthly payment of 16 to 20 dollars (without additional surcharge due to delivery delay).

In 2007, he started a new VOD service in the United States, for exclusive use of personal computers, in 2008 this platform was improved to access the catalog through streaming, in 2016 this platform expanded worldwide. Netflix has approximate 151 million subscribers.

This platform generates a question, how does Netflix work?

Netflix is distributed in 3 phases: the customer is the user interface on any device used to navigate or watch netflix videos, the backend server everything that happens before you give the play button and run on the AWS, andThe content distribution network.

Work with a Microsoft Silverlight -based player to prevent audiovisual content from being discharged. "Currently, the discharge alternative of some series films or chapters offers", these downloads will only be reproduced in the Netflix application, "Netflix can be seen in the Linux application systems using the Google explorer in the most recent versions. The key to Netflix’s success is that it was developing their own series and films that can only be seen on their platform, this idea was given because the competition arose.

The minimal connection speed required is 0.5 megabits per second, but you may want a faster connection to improve video quality. Netflix transmits a minimum amount of data every time a movie or series begins. Netflix is based on analytical intelligence, using the arithmetic, statistical and data management capacity to verify the tastes of customers, they gathered with a group of mathematical engineers also expert in the programming area, developed an algorithm to determine groups of movies andlink with users’ tastes.

Netflix has had great stunning success in the developed to adapt to the user, since it has approximate 4000 films, it is considered the best of applications to watch movies by users, and the facts demonstrate them since they have won in thegold balloons, have developed films and series of their own audit. Netflix focuses on satisfying their subscribers, giving it the ease that your subscribers can choose the language of your preference or apply subtitles, another alternative that gives us, is that, if you stop watching a movie and wants to start watching another movie or series or series, the system keeps the registration of all titles so that when I resume again, continue to see them from the same scene where it was and not miss a second. 

Others have a catalog for the little ones. Studies show that 60% of the population between the age of 16-30 are the ones who use this application the most since they do not present the annoying ads. It is one of the primary distributors of Hollywood and one of the great producers in audiovisual content. 

And it can be said that you have access to access, that if a new device starts section it notifies us, giving the name of the device with the place where it is located. A disadvantage you have is that you will not be able to find the new contents immediately available.
