Vbrick windows media appliance

Today many organizations are looking to implement live and on-demand video systems in order to reduce costs, increase productivity, and communicate more effectively. Windows Media based systems offer a high quality video solution to these organizations.

VBrick Systems, Inc. VBrick's digital video products are used for distance learning, executive and event broadcasts, training, news distribution, and surveillance applications.

It is an industrial strength, video appliance for one-way communication over low and medium bandwidth IP networks using the widely deployed Windows Media format. It attaches to a network and delivers the streaming video and audio directly to any Windows Media-compatible player or server. The VBrick WM Appliance can deliver the streams via multicast to any number of players on the network and it can serve the stream via unicast to up to players or servers. The WM Appliance can be deployed in a variety of ways and integrates seamlessly into existing Windows Media deployments.

Video CDN Network infrastructure needs to deliver content at scale. The DME also uses the DME Mesh, which is a set of technologies that provides a self-managing, self-optimizing ability to share, distribute, and cache VoD content Mesh capabilities also enable video content location across DMEs and first-request caching.

This capability allows administrators to selectively preposition content, and enables DMEs to locate and pull that requested content from the closest DME on the network, using bandwidth and storage only when necessary. Focusing on these operational savings is a vital part of an eCDN that allows you to make high-quality video available to massive, geographically dispersed audiences, all without overloading your WAN. Plus, the DME supports video ingest and recording for a variety of endpoints, including popular smartphones and media tablets.

Ordering details are given later in this data sheet. Table 1. Features and Benefits. Origin streaming server. When a software client requests a served stream, the DME server examines the file to determine transport type, video rate, audio rate, and other parameters and then plays the stream using optimal settings adjusted for bandwidth, frame rate, and other parameters.

Pushed streams. The DME also pushes live streams to configured endpoint destinations. In pushed stream mode, the DME is always transmitting and does not wait for a client request.

The DME transmits if the client is reachable and listening in the case of unicast. Pulled streams. The DME supports unicast one to one and multicast one to many for both input and output. Multicasting can save substantial network bandwidth when multiple clients are accessing the same stream. Transrated streams. The DME can transrate live video streams by converting a stream from one bit rate and resolution to another.

A common example is to ingest a single bit rate stream and transrate it into smaller bit rates. Those streams are then commonly combined into a single HLS adaptive bit rate delivery for platforms from mobile lower bit rate to PC or desktop higher bit rate. Transmuxed streams. The DME can transmux live video streams from one file format or streaming protocol to another without changing the compression method. The DME supports a wide range of input streams and live output streams.

Unicast to multicast. The DME can receive unicast streams, by the mechanisms list above, and create multicast streams. This capability is highly useful for bandwidth savings between origin servers and remote offices. Converting into multicast also conserves bandwidth on the LAN, and avoids the network load of many, multiple unicasts.

It ingests recorded and live video streams from video conferencing, web conferencing, and webcasting systems alike, including Cisco TelePresence Content Server TCS.
