| “Thanks
to the Native ATM support, high-quality scalable
video, and flexible development tools offered
by Optibase’s products, we successfully
put together a first class end-to-end business
TV solution that greatly enhances communications
in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

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.
Optibase Player
With the Optibase Player, you can play back MPEG-1 and
MPEG-2 video streams on your PC anytime. Optibase Player
shows you which video streams are currently being streamed
across a network, as well as the video files that are
stored on your local computer. Optibase Player can either
be installed locally on your PC or operated from a remote
web site. Optibase Player is an optimal solution for
organizations and corporations that stream video over
their IP networks.
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.
