Streambox^® Broadcast Server

High Performance Enterprise Streaming

The Streambox^® Broadcast Server plays an integral role in enhancing the enterprise streaming capabilities of ACT-L3™ video transport solutions. The Broadcast Server is specifically designed to meet the performance, compression, and quality requirements of broadcasters, government agencies, and enterprises that need to manage and support video feeds for large scale unicast or multicast video transport projects over IP-based networks.

The sole purpose of the Broadcast Server is to facilitate video feeds to and from other Streambox video transport equipment as outlined below:

• From any Streambox^® encoder
• To any Streambox^® decoder
• To Streambox^® Media Players (Windows or Mac based)
• To other Streambox^® Broadcast Servers for large scale projects

For example, a Japanese cable channel encodes live boat racing from more than ten locations across Japan using Streambox encoders. The video is then distributed in real-time (over private and public IP networks) to dozens of locations throughout Japan via a Streambox^® Broadcast Server located at the Tokyo-based broadcast center.

Streambox® Broadcast Server Features Supports point-to multipoint video distribution Supports up to 50 simultaneous unicast outbound video feeds Supports unlimited video delivery over multicast networks Supports up to 49 Mbps of combined outbound bandwidth Supports unicast to multicast translation Distributes single channel video and point-to-multipoint audio feeds Supports distribution across diverse network topologies Supports SD or HD video feeds

For example, enterprises or government agencies can reliably stream live video over private or public unicast/multicast networks for viewing by networked laptop or desktop users.

The Streambox^® Broadcast Server may be used with the Streambox^® Media Player which is designed for the sole purpose of playing Streambox video streams.
