MEDIAEDGE
®
is a multi-channel, multi-
location delivery system of either high- or
standard-definition (HD or SD) video
using standard TCP/IP networks and HD/
SD display devices. Comprised of server,
encoder, client software, and set-top
box (STB) components, this flexible and
modular system is ideal for point-of-sale,
corporate, and other video-retrieval and
digital-signage applications.
Three Streaming Modes
The MEDIAEDGE system lets you deliver
content in three ways: video-on-demand
(VOD), scheduled playback, and live
broadcast.
In a VOD application, users select
video clips stored on the MEDIAEDGE-
SVS4 server for viewing, either from a
dynamically updated menu, or through
direct channel number selection via a
remote control. A user can pause, stop,
and resume viewing content at any time.
Content chapter points can be created
for faster navigation, and clients can
fast forward or rewind video clips during
playback.
Scheduled playback allows an unlimited
number of users to view a pre-
programmed arrangement of multiple
video clips. The MEDIAEDGE-SVS4
server can have multiple scheduled
channels running simultaneously, with
set program times scheduled to run
hourly, daily, or monthly. MEDIAEDGE-
STB4 users can surf channels by simply
using the remote control. MEDIAEDGE-
SWT4 software users can do the same
within a Web browser.
For live broadcasting, the MEDIAEDGE
system can utilize the real-time
capabilities of its encoding devices to
transmit live external HDMI or SDI video
sources as professional-quality MPEG-4
(H.264) streams to multiple clients.
Using this feature, the system can
retransmit television and satellite feeds.
Such content, once MPEG encoded,
may also be recorded to a server on the
network for later viewing or scheduling.
MPEG-2 SD/HD video is also available
when you combine the ADVC-HD50 with
the LSB or the ADVC-HDM1 with the
LSB.
