The PowerTechware MPEG4/Quicktime
Streaming Video Server is a streaming media server that
combines industrial strength performance with ease of use. The
Powertechware media server technology allows you to send streaming
QuickTime data to clients across the Internet using the industry
standard RTP and RTSP protocols. It can serve ISO-compliant
hinted MPEG-4 files to any ISO-compliant MPEG-4 client, including
any MPEG-4 enabled device that supports playback of MPEG-4 streams
over IP. You can serve on-demand or live MPEG-4 streams, and
reflect playlists of MPEG-4 files. The media server employs
Skip Protection which uses excess bandwidth to buffer ahead
data faster than real time on the client machine. When packets
are lost, communication between client and server results in
retransmission of only the lost packets, reducing impact to
network traffic. By buffering ahead a high-quality "copy"
of the media, the PowerTechware media server delivers a high-quality
media stream time after time.
Furthermore, it can serve standard MP3 files using Icecast-compatible
protocols over http. Build a playlist of MP3 files and serve
them to MP3 clients such as iTunes, SoundJam and WinAmp for
a simulated live experience.
The PowerTechware MPEG4/Quicktime Streaming Video Server
deploys dual processors and a multithreaded UNIX operating system
to provide high throughput and can support up to 2,000 media
streams. |
