| MPEG ComMotion Pro is a video streaming
platform that encodes and transmits high quality MPEG streams in real-time
over advanced digital networks, including IP and native ATM. MPEG
ComMotion Pro is compatible with a wide range of Optibase encoding
boards that offer an encoding range from 56 Kbps to 15 Mbps.
MPEG ComMotion Pro is designed for OEMs, system integrators and
VARs who want to develop and implement sophisticated streaming applications
such as business TV, distance learning, business-to-business communications,
corporate communications and video to the desktop.
- Encodes and transmits up to 16 live and pre-recorded video
or TV feeds (up to 6 of them in real-time).
- Remote management of transmission servers via web-based interface.
- Unicast and Multicast over IP networks.
- Point to Multi-point over native ATM.
- Software development platforms based on ActiveX controls and
plug-ins for transmitters, receivers and the management application.
- Up to six encoding boards on the same PC for real-time MPEG
encoding and transmission.
- Supports uploading to 3rd party video servers.
- Recasts UDP streams to other IP or ATM networks.
- Playback via Windows Media Player® as front-end viewer or
embedded via an HTML browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer).
- Video bit-rates from 56 Kbps to 15 Mbps.
- Runs on Windows 95/98/NT.
Real-time Transmission to Single or Multiple Sites
MPEG ComMotion Pro is a video streaming platform that encodes
and transmits high quality MPEG streams in real-time over advanced
digital networks, including IP and native ATM. MPEG ComMotion Pro
is compatible with a wide range of Optibase encoding boards that
offer an encoding range from 56 Kbps to 15 Mbps.
MPEG ComMotion Pro is designed for OEMs, system integrators and
VARs who want to develop and implement sophisticated streaming applications
such as business TV, distance learning, business-to-business communications,
corporate communications and video to the desktop. Corporations
that operate in time-critical environments, such as financial services,
use MPEG ComMotion Pro to broadcast multiple TV channels to employees'
desktops. Advertising agencies and post-production houses can present
work in progress to remote customers. In addition, MPEG ComMotion
Pro is ideal for remote security surveillance applications.
MPEG ComMotion Pro consists of several software modules
- Transmission Server
The Transmission Server is a Windows NT station that contains
Optibase encoding hardware and an MS DirectShow API. The Transmission
Server can handle up to 16 MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 streams simultaneously
(six live and the rest pre-recorded). It also supports the streaming
of MP3 audio files. Encoded bit rates depend on the Optibase encoding
hardware you choose for your facility and the type of server being
used. The Transmission Server can transmit streams over multiple
IP and ATM networks simultaneously, allowing enterprises to optimize
network resources and select in advance the network type for a
specific stream and destination. The Transmission Server can be
controlled remotely by the MPEG ComMotion Director. Alternatively,
system integrators can use the Transmitter ActiveX control to
develop a customized front-end and integrate it into value added
applications.
- ComMotion Director
ComMotion Director is an HTML based management platform that allows
you to remotely control the MPEG ComMotion Transmission servers.
ComMotion Director resides on a dedicated Windows NT server or
can share the same PC as one of the Transmission Servers. You
use ComMotion Director to remotely control encoding and transmission
parameters, including start and stop times for transmission, destination
address and the streams to be transmitted. ComMotion Director
has an ActiveX control that allows customization of the management
application and integration with other web-based management applications.
- ComMotion Receiver
Viewers can watch TV at their desktops via the ComMotion Receiver.
ComMotion Receiver supports streams received on ATM or IP networks.
ComMotion Receiver supports both software and hardware decoders
and has an ActiveX control and plug-in that allows system integrators
to customize and integrate it into large scale networking applications
based on MS Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Visual Basic,
VC++ or Java. Designed for large-scale deployment, ComMotion Receiver
has a customizable installation utility that enables one-step
automatic installation on multiple clients.
- ComMotion Recaster
ComMotion Recaster receives UDP streams and recasts them over
IP and ATM networks. It can handle up to 16 streams simultaneously.
The ComMotion Recaster can be used in multi-protocol environments
to recast UDP streams to ATM networks. For example, it can receive
a central multicast UDP stream from a satellite connection and
retransmit it to multiple clients linked to an IP or ATM network.
The ComMotion Recaster can operate as a stand-alone application
or as part of the Transmission Server and can be controlled remotely
the ComMotion Director.
