DME Features and Benefits
Bandwidth Conservation – Redistribute high quality, live or on-demand, media via RTP multicast; enables more end users to share a single media stream. Leveraging multicast eliminates the need to incrementally scale network bandwidth to support more viewers.
Media Transformation – Stream high quality H.264 content once and leverage the DME at distributed locations to deliver multiple formats (RTP, RTMP Flash, and/or HTTP progressive download) to reach multiple types of endpoints.
Mobile Device Support – Enables delivery of live H.264 content to mobile devices as Flash video or supports HTTP progressive download of video-on-demand content.
Transrating provides for delivery of content to mobile devices of different types on networks of varying quality.
Intelligent Central Management – Content is created once and then intelligently managed by the VBrick Enterprise Media System (VEMS) regardless of the location. Stored content is appropriately distributed to local DMEs so users have faster access to frequently viewed content without the need to contend with constrained WAN or Internet links.
Robust Appliance Design – Requiring only a web browser for management, the DME eliminates the need to separately manage patches and security updates on commercial server operating systems.
Secure – Designed to meet the security requirements of demanding government information assurance policies.
Firewall Friendly – Supports video on demand content via HTTP download; eliminating barriers imposed by network security policies.
Enhanced User Experience – Increases user adoption and impact by assuring outstanding picture quality and response from video applications. The DME easily accommodates increased user demand without degrading performance or the user experience.
