MEDIAEDGE-SWT4

MEDIAEDGE® is a multi-channel, multi-location delivery system of either 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 video and signage content in three ways: on-demand, scheduled playback, and live broadcast.
In a VOD application, users select video clips stored on the MEDIAEDGESVS4 server for viewing, either from a dynamically updating 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 preprogrammed 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 set-top box 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 SD and HD video sources such as cameras, VCRs, and DVD players, as well 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.
MEDIAEDGE-SWT4 Client Software
The MEDIAEDGE-SWT4 software client functions as a Web browser plug-in for any PC connected to a MEDIAEDGE network. From the browser, users can access a dynamically updating menu of VOD content or scheduled channels, and watch video content within the browser's window.
