MEDIAEDGE®is a multi-channel, multi-
location delivery system of either HD or
SD video using standard TCP/IP networks
and HD/SD display devices. Comprised of
server, encoder, client software, and 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 system lets you deliver
content in three ways: video-on-demand
(VOD), scheduled playback, and live
broadcast.
In a VOD application, users select
video clips stored on the MEDIAEDGE-
SVS4 server for viewing, either from a
dynamically updating 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-SVS4
server can have multiple scheduled
channels running simultaneously, with
set program times scheduled to run
hourly, daily, or monthly. MEDIAEDGE-
STB4 set-top box users can surf channels
by simply using the remote control.
MEDIAEDGE-SWT4 client software users
can do the same within a Web browser.
For live broadcasting, the MEDIAEDGE
system can utilize the real-time
capabilities of its encoding devices to
transmit live external SD video sources
such as cameras, VCRs, and DVD players,
as well as professional-quality MPEG-1,
MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 (H.264) streams to
multiple clients with minimal delay.
Using this feature, the system can
retransmit television and satellite feeds.
Such content, once MPEG encoded,
may also be recorded for later viewing or
scheduling.
