Oracle Video Server (OVS)
System Architecture 2-13
Remote Access
The MDS is accessible by processes on remote computers as well as on the video
server computer.
The OVS also supports binary file transfer between FTP clients on remote
computers and the MDS.
Figure 2–7 shows a direct FTP file transfer from a remote
computer to the MDS.

The alternative, an FTP transfer from the remote computer to the video server
computer host file system and then a transfer to the MDS with an MDS utility,
would require an additional copy operation.
Delivery
The OVS can deliver a video stream to a client in real time on demand. A stream of
video is played by the client as it is delivered by the OVS, rather than completely
downloaded by the OVS and then played by the client.
Requesting Video
A client can request the OVS play video by requesting it. In a request, a client
identifies video with an asset cookie, which stands for either a logical content title
or a tag file. The client can request a series of asset cookies so that the OVS plays
series of logical content titles or tag files without interruption.
