In-Stream™ – Video Distribution Platforms

INOV presents several solutions and platforms for audio/video distribution over IP networks, allowing an accurate response to the several problems inherent to this technology.
From the several solutions available for enterprise/personal networks (Intranets, LANs) and for public networks (Internet, PSTN, GPRS) the following are emphasized:

• Transmission of cultural and sports events
  Personalized divulgation of multiple happenings and contents of an event using the Internet as the delivery medium.

• Video Surveillance
  Using local or public networks for enterprise and personal surveillance applications. These applications covers a wide area of services such as, intrusion detection, illegal access record, alarm notification, etc. …

• Remote medicine
  Conjugates the video streaming with medical instrumentation measures, allowing local or remote monitoring of the patient health.
  
• Content Adaptation
  Consists in the adaptation and personalisation of the contents accordingly to the transport medium (LAN, WiFi, DSL, ADSL, ISDN, Modem, GPRS, etc.…) and the terminal equipment (PC, SetTop Box, PDA, Mobile Phone, etc.…). The content and rate adaptations can be fulfilled statically or dynamically.
  
• Monitoring
  Real-time continuous monitoring of the streams/sessions providing data about error reports, video quality, number of clients, used bandwidth, etc. … The collected data allows a full perception, control and analysis of the platforms and services.

INOV maintains a constant activity in the audio/video distribution technology area, through the participation in European projects and with internal investigation and development projects, allowing a know-how improvement in these technologies (SDP, SAP, RTSP, RTCP, RTP, HTTP, etc. …). The acquired know-how makes possible the provisioning of several solutions based in standard formats (MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.263, etc.…) and proprietary formats (RealVideo, RealMedia, etc.…), offering a wider choice, versatility and personalization of the solutions, allowing a better resolution of the clients problems.
