InfoValue QuickVideo™ provides compelling interactive features
and rich viewing experiences to users. When viewing on-demand
content, users can play, pause, resume, seek, stop, fast forward,
and fast rewind the videos with simple mouse clicks or remote
control buttons. Users can browse and search for the desired video
content based on titles, thumbnails, categories, description, and
many more attributes that are database and web friendly.
When viewing broadcast video, users can channel surf with channel
up/down or channel jumping based on an informative program guide.
When equipped with Network PVR, users can instantly play back
previous video regardless of whether it was broadcast a few seconds
ago, a few hours ago, or even further in the past.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ provides comprehensive content management
features, including content ingestion, trick play indexing,
publishing, conditional access, usage tracking, and content
distribution. The content distribution, a crucial component of
efficient and scalable distributed architectures, employs a
combination of intelligent features including scheduled push,
on-demand pull, priority scheduling, resource allocation, and
persistent transfer.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ delivers unparalleled streaming performance
based on InfoValue's innovative technologies such as the "I/O
Tunneling" optimization. For example, a standard Pentium PC server
can stream up to 960Mbps of on-demand throughput over one Gigabit
NIC, or more than 90% of the aggregate bandwidth of multiple Gigabit
NIC's. Combining the leading performance with the need only of
standard hardware, InfoValue QuickVideo™ delivers highly attractive
cost performance to its customers.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ incorporates innovative server clustering
to allow multiple video servers to function as a single system,
share content storage, increase aggregate throughput, and enhance
system fault-tolerance. When a video server within a QuickVideo
Cluster™ fails, streams are automatically failed over to other video
servers and then are immediately continued from their points of
interruption.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ administers strong system management
including network/storage bandwidth allocation, security, streaming
activity monitoring and logging, system alert, and system health
check.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ facilitates many powerful and convenient
operational features, such as adding and configuring servers,
adding and configuring multicast channels and programs with
automatic scheduling, controlling the recording and network PVR of
multicast programs, announcing program schedules dynamically, and
publishing video clip databases. All control and operations can be
done via centralized, browser based remote consoles.
InfoValue QuickVideo™, with its format agnostic architecture,
supports most standard video formats, such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2,
MPEG-4, HDTV, Motion JPEG and Microsoft Windows Media. InfoValue
QuickVideo™ comes with seamlessly integrated encoders and decoders
and also has the flexibility to interoperate with additional
encoders and decoders through a set of well-defined interfaces.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ with its modularized architecture allows
flexible deployments and expansions. Customers can start with a
subset of features and the appropriate system capacity to meet their
immediate needs with the guarantee that their investments will be
protected in their future expansions.
InfoValue QuickVideo™ guarantees streaming quality over networks
including Fast/Gigabit Ethernets, satellite, xDSL, cable modems, and
cable networks. For maximum openness and interoperability, InfoValue
QuickVideo™ supports many standard IP protocols, packet formats and
definitions, such as RTSP, RTP, Raw UDP, ISMA, SAP, SDP, ISMA, as
well as Microsoft Windows Media. For the most challenging
requirements, InfoValue QuickVideo™ also implements InfoValue's
patented QuickVideo STreaming Protocol (QVSTP) for dynamic and
error-free streaming.
