Video Multicasting

In order to take advantage of today's high-speed connections everyone is asking, "How do I provide multicast video and streaming on my network?" Obvious roadblocks and challenges exist almost before any examination of feasibility is begun. Issues like the costs of distribution, duplication, and sharing storage-hungry video files while providing access to viewers becomes a real challenge.

Helius builds products that address the ever changing uses of streaming. From projects such as corporate earnings announcements to distributed sales force training and education the need for secure, high-quality delivery of voice, video and data sources is more important than ever. Broadcasts in traditional DVB or IP-multicast are not only possible but enhanced by features such as downlink conversion of DVB to IP-multicast on the fly, and non-proprietary MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 playback capability. Thereby allowing users to maximize the value of their investments in existing platforms, applications and services.

Helius MediaStream Server is a fully functional multicast server system for MPEG 1,2 & 4 and High Definition content. Coupled with the Helius MediaStream Player product, users can provide end-to-end multicast streaming to their network resources.
