Mobility
There is often a need to send
live video from a remote location to some central facility. For
example, a news organization wishes to send a live video feed back
to the studio; a Public, Education, or Government TV channel wishes
to provide coverage of a live council meeting, a community event
such as a parade.
Because streaming solutions typically seek to deliver video directly
to consumers, remote broadcasting to a studio or other centralized
facility has been underserved...until now.
The Discover Video Multimedia Encoder (DVME) sends live video to the
Discover Soft Top Box (STB) over virtually any network,
so you can receive conventional composite or SVideo video along with
CD-quality audio. DVME sends and/or records MPEG-2 broadcast too.
See DVME.
Cellular
Modern 3G cellular modems (e.g.
Verizon) can give you upload speeds approaching 250 Kbps with 3G
service, and up to 1 Mbps to 4G service. Usage is in the
$40/month range.
Wireless
Getting a Wi-Fi (802.11) connection to your laptop PC has never been
more common. Just connect your laptop to the wireless network as you
normally would and start streaming.
Wired
Of course, wired connection is your best choice for dependable high
speed networking. Just connect your laptop as you normally
would and and start streaming.
Receiving Your Mobile Video
You can broadcast your your mobile video directly to your viewers by
simply providing the DVME web viewing page. But you can also receive
your video on a Discover Video Soft Top Box (also called DVMD when
provided with hardware) which
delivers full screen composite, SVideo, and xGA output, along with analog
audio.
Of course, if you receive your mobile broadcast on a computer, you
can connect your computer to a scan converter (like many broadcast
stations do to deliver "bulletin boards") to deliver the live mobile
video, but you need to use caution to ensure the audio/video is in
sync and you will not enjoy the remote control benefits provided by
the Soft Top Box.
Remote Control
DVME and STB both provide web remote control (when used with a
Discover Video Streaming Account). Web remote control allows
you to start, stop, or even schedule your remote DVME, allowing
unattended operation. STB also provides remote control, so you can
change what is displaying from any web browser.
Recording
When the situation does not call for live broadcast, or as an
archive of a live event,
DVME will digitally record your video in H.264, WM, or MPEG-2
format (DVME Pro)...and even upload it to your server.
