Enterprise Video Distribution.
MEDIAEDGE®is a multi-channel, multi-
location delivery system of high- or
standard-definition (HD or SD) video
and digital signage using standard TCP/
IP networks and HD/SD display devices.
Comprised of server, encoder, client
software, and SMIL-compliant 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-STB4 system lets
you deliver video and signage content
in three ways: on-demand, scheduled
playback, and live broadcast.
In a video-on-demand (VOD) application,
users select video clips stored on the
MEDIAEDGE-SVS4 server for viewing,
either from a dynamically updated
menu, or through direct channel number
selection via a remote control. A user
can pause, stop, and resume viewing
content at any time. Clients can pause,
fast forward, or rewind video clips during
playback.
Scheduled playback allows an unlimited
number of users to view a pre-
programmed arrangement of multiple
video clips. The MEDIAEDGE-STB4
server can have multiple scheduled
channels running simultaneously, with
set program times scheduled to run
hourly, daily, or monthly. MEDIAEDGE-
STB4 users can surf channels by simply
using the remote control. MEDIAEDGE-
SWT software users can do the same
within a Web browser.
For live broadcasting, the MEDIAEDGE-
STB4 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 professional-quality MPEG-1,
MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 (H.264) streams to
multiple clients with minimal delay.
The MEDIAEDGE-LEB60 encoder is
capable of sending live video streams
to MEDIAEDGE systems. The video
source for the LEB needs to be analog
composite or S-Video. The LEB-60 only
supports SD resolution.

MEDIAEDGE Video Encoder
The standalone MEDIAEDGE-LEB60 encoder provides real-time
distribution of live video across a network to any MEDIAEDGE-
SWT client software or STB clients. Working as a separate
solution or in conjunction with a MEDIAEDGE server, it
encodes any analog video source into an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2
output, and can instantly rebroadcast the stream via an internal
server built into the unit’s circuitry.
You can also use the MEDIAEDGE-LEB60 encoder to process
video from a remote location, such as a video library, and then
deliver the content to a MEDIAEDGE server based within
a datacenter. The content is recorded and then ready for
distribution across a MEDIAEDGE network.
As well, you can combine a MEDIAEDGE-LEB60 encoder,
server, and software clients and/or STBs. Clients can request
live streams from the encoder—or live, scheduled, or on-
demand from the server.
