VideoFlow's new, video aware, cloud power VIA CONNECT suite is designed to meet the requirements of the professional live contribution and distribution (C&D) needs. This toolset offers high availability features including hitless stream failover, path protection, facility protection and box redundancy for a non-interrupted 24x7 services. It provides easy connection and configuration giving the freedom to choose the best growth path for C&D professionals. Leveraging VideoFlow's video aware 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. VIA CONNECT is perfect for DNG, syndication, occasional use, and last/first mile video quality protection.
VideoFlow's new, patented Controlled Adaptive Rate (CAR) can optimize video quality for each receiver individually in real time or optimize video profile bit rates for a large-scale distribution network in real time so that viewers will receive higher bit rate and hence higher video quality. CAR works together with other VideoFlow technologies including the new, patented Prioritized Protection Flow (PPF), reliable UDP, jitter elimination and real time network and video monitoring. CAR's dynamic optimization is based on collecting accurate network and video statistics from the receivers. This information is used by the transmitter to make precise adjustments to the encoder's bit rate in real time. CAR is part of the VIA CONNECT cloud power toolset for maximizing revenue by providing the highest video quality to the viewer.
