Discover Video Multimedia Decoder (DVMD)

Decoder

pearl

Discover Video's Decoder displays live, full screen video from your Internet or private network streaming video source. 

The Decoder is not a "Set Top Box", which requires human intervention to select a "channel'. Rather, the Decoder constantly monitors for your target video and when it appears it simply displays it via composite, S-Video, or VGA video output along with high fidelity mono or stereo sound.

When your video starts, the Decoder can automatically output user-defined commands via its built-in RS232 port.  When your video stops, it can automatically output other user-defined commands via its RS-232 port. This unique feature makes it easy to conduct unattended remote broadcasts.  Simply connect the Decoder RS232 port to your video switching equipment and when you start your live video stream the decoder will tell your equipment to switch to it when the video starts, and switch back when you stop the stream.

Each Decoder also comes with a web control page that controls the Decoder no matter where you are.  You can even control it from your cell phone!

  • Live Video -- display your live remote video that is sent from a Discover Video software streaming system, a VBrick WM Appliance, or other compatible live video source
  • Web Content -- tell the decoder to display virtually any web page from the public Internet, including YouTube video
  • Message -- simply type a message in your web control page and it will appear on the decoder...ideal for emergency messages, "standby" information, etc.

 

 
NOTE: The decoder can be sold only to select customers due to restrictions by VBrick Systems. How It Works
The system is a small computer with composite, S-Video (DIN), and VGA output.  When you power it up, it automatically checks your web control page for information about what it should do. Normally, the web control page tells the Decoder to "play" a certain live video feed by your entering your live video URL.  The only thing you need to set up on the Decoder is your Discover Video web account username and password. The rest is automatic.

Applications
- The Decoder is ideal for Cable-TV stations that wish to have live remote video feeds sent to their station, even when no one is at the station.
