DEVOS
System Description and Architecture
The DEVOS system consists of one or more DEVOS servers, one or more Streamsie,
Mantis, Hornet or other live encoders, and existing desktop computers, Smartphones
and tablets, iPads/iPhones, and other clients.
The DEVOS Media Server provides live and Video-on-Demand (VoD) delivery via
HTTP, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, HDS, DASH, and progressive download technologies. It is the
heart of the system and provides all database, administration, storage, control
functions, and user interfaces.
Live video streams are created using the Discover Video Streamsie, Mantis or Hornet
which can be controlled by DEVOS. Other live video streaming encoders may also be
used, as well as compatible existing public video streams. Video files are created using
encoders when capturing live events or when encoding a file from other sources.
Viewing of live video uses HTML or optionally Flash player (Version 11 or above),
while VoD content is viewed via HTML5.
PC Desktops may be equipped with the Discover Video Priority Alert program and
DEVOS may then issue video, text, or web page alerts to one, some, or all desktops
without the desktop user needing to take any action.
DEVOS supports video signage using the Discover Video SignStick2®, Signage Media
Player, the built-in Digital Signage web player. Limited signage may be displayed
using Roku boxes, and/or Samsung Smart TV. Digital Signage allows you to display
any live or VoD content, PowerPoint, Images, etc. on unattended TV's or computer
monitors and to display text, RSS feeds, or web pages.
DEVOS allows you to add YouTube videos to your VoD list, and to incorporate many
public live streams into your live video lineup. You may also synchronize (download)
your videos from a YouTube account automatically.
DEVOS supports Active Directory, and allows you to give publishing privileges to
multiple administrators, and to enable viewers to log in using their existing
credentials.
DEVOS configurations allow StreamPump® to be deployed at remote branch offices
to distribute live and VoD content. Each StreamPump then delivers the content to
office viewers locally rather than those viewers each consuming bandwidth and
capacity from the DEVOS master. This arrangement provides a highly scalable
solution for video distribution, even on bandwidth limited networks.
