Solution Snapshot: Haivision Furnace
Overview
The Haivision Furnace IP Video System distributes, records, and provides on-demand IP video content to users across corporate networks.
Key Features
Haivision's Furnace combined with their Makito performance encoders, Stingray set top boxes, and the freely available InStream player delivers a coordinated enterprise-wide end-to-end architecture. Furthermore, the Furnace incorporates simple operational processes to record and stream any number of assets in multicast/broadcast sessions for large audiences or in a unicast configuration for the anytime on-demand sessions.
The Haivision Makito encoders capture the video session(s) to be recorded and distributed at the source. It encodes HD H.264 streams with resolutions up to 1080p60 and a latency of under 70 milliseconds.The Furnace then coordinates video storage, security settings and playback administration services from a central position in the enterprise network.
The power of the Furnace is that the implementation is optimized for IP video. No unusual wiring requirement, only Ethernet. No special client software - only urls representing the location and properties of each asset.
Today, the Furnace has evolved and gone a step further in providing "intelligent" IP video that allows for editing, tagging, and bookmarking with HotMarks (real-time user generated meta data).
InStream player
The InStream player is a "zero-footprint" client server player technology that requires no installation on any computer and works across all common platforms, thus reducing burden from IT staff. By going to a simple web link, authenticated users can view video anywhere, anytime. InStream also offers a highly scalable approach as it easily accommodates a growing user base.
