MEDIAEDGE

®

 is a multi-channel, multi-

location delivery system of high- or 
standard-definition (HD or SD) video 
and digital signage using standard TCP/
IP networks and HD/SD display devices. 
Comprised of server, encoder, client 
software, and SMIL-compliant 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 
video and signage content in three ways: 
on-demand, scheduled playback, and live 
broadcast. 
In a video-on-demand (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. Clients can pause, 
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-
SWT 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 SD and HD video 
sources such as cameras, VCRs, and DVD 
players as professional-quality MPEG-1, 
MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 (H.264) streams to 
multiple clients with minimal delay. 
Using this feature, the system can 
retransmit television and satellite feeds. 
Such content, once MPEG encoded, 
may also be recorded for later viewing 
or scheduling. As with external SD 
or HD video, HDV footage can be 
streamed live or recorded for later use. 
The MEDIAEDGE-LEB4 encoder is 
capable of sending live video streams 
to MEDIAEDGE systems. The video 
source for the LEB needs to be HDMI 
or SDI. The LEB supports both SD 
and HD resolution, which is detected 
automatically by the hardware.
