Via Connect brings new reliability to live web video
VideoFlow By Will Strauss
Broadcasters looking to use unmanaged internet networks for digital newsgathering, syndication and other live contribution and distribution requirements are the target audience for Via Connect, a new cloud-based toolset from VideoFlow The Via Connect suite
offers high availability features including hitless stream failover, path protection, facility protection and box redundancy for
uninterrupted everyday services. According to
VideoFlow, using this infrastructure as a service or adapting an existing network using Via Connect toolset “makes it easy to connect and configure the workflow to the extent that all technical operations and maintenance can be carried from the NOC.” Included within the Via Connect is a new and patented technology called Controlled Adaptive Rate (CAR). This can optimise video quality for each receiver individually in realtime or optimise video profile bit rates for a large-scale distribution network in realtime so that viewers receive higher bit rate and video quality. CAR works together with other VideoFlow technologies including the Prioritised Protection Flow (PPF), reliable UDP, jitter elimination and realtime network and video monitoring. The dynamic
optimisation is based on collecting accurate network and video statistics from the receivers. This
information is then used by the transmitter to make precise adjustments to the encoder's bit rate. 3.B20

Luo Xiaoxiao, vice presietnt, Dayang Technology Development
Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? We’ve been attending IBC on a regular basis for more than a decade. With its growing influence in the broadcast industry, we are sure that it is a perfect place for delegates to explore new concepts and solutions. Also it is a big occasion for professionals to meet together and discuss future evolutions on both technology and workflow.
What do you think are the key developments in, or
threats to, your market sector at the current time? As far as we can see, IP based workflow is becoming more and more popular. This new approach brings tremendous advantages to conventional broadcasters in their evolution to new media applications. However, it also poses challenges to existing infrastructure and business flow. As one of the most innovative companies in the industry, Dayang can provide different solutions for adapting to this trend.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? At IBC, we are demonstrating a comprehensive MCR solution that perfectly integrates our iChannel2 Clustered Automation system with eVIAS media management system. Also we will showcase Fresco-high quality multi-viewer system which handles the monitoring of legacy audio visual signal as well as IP streams. Furthermore, the embedded video router function of multi-viewer will be released during the
DIY system finds, books best feeds ScheduALL By Ian McMurray
As well as demonstrating its system for connecting businesses and resources, ScheduALL Connector, the company is also showing ScheduALL Portal and
ScheduALL Media. ScheduALL Portal is a web- based, realtime portal putting self-provisioned OU bookings right at customers’ fingertips, says the company, allowing them to book transmission feeds in realtime through a provider’s ScheduALL system. Portal is said to provide a powerful, cost-effective
broadcast delivery system that makes it possible for smaller broadcasters to access the formerly cost-prohibitive world of live broadcast. What was once an error-prone, complicated process of booking bandwidth is now a simple DIY web portal that finds and books the best feeds for the transmission, using a
exhibition. Other products to see at our booth: On-Air Graphics, MAM, and Aaudio visual signal processing devices. 7.B35
wizard that determines the broadcast user’s needs. ScheduALL Media is designed for organisations that create complex media projects and require a streamlined process to manage all of the moving parts. It allows operators to create templates that define not only the types of workflow required, but also the source content (files, tapes films, graphics, etc.), and the final deliverables. 1.D30
