…of its compact appliance combining dual-channel HD encoding, low-latency secure streaming, video on demand, and a contextual multichannel record-review-publish workflow—all within a single chassis. With the new release, the company is also introducing the Viper VF, a companion to the Furnace™ IP video distribution system, tailored to installations where many rooms need the ability to record independently and then publish the assets to a central video-on-demand system.
A user-controlled multistream appliance, the Viper is ideal for capturing, streaming, and publishing events relying on multimedia sources. The Viper streams and records two real-time, full-frame-rate, HD H.264 streams containing either HD video or computer graphics content. The multistream content can be streamed and recorded simultaneously, and accessed securely through Haivision’s patented, browser-independent InStream™ player.
Viper appliances enable users to set up multichannel sessions, initiate simultaneous streaming and recording, and make content available automatically for on-demand viewing—all through a simple, user-friendly touch-screen interface. Remote viewers can watch live multistream HD content simply by clicking a web link and launching the “zero-install” InStream player. With the new Viper VF for distributed multistream recording, users can record, review, and publish content, leveraging a powerful centralized Furnace video-on-demand system. To simplify contributor and consumer privileges, users can assign media rights for each Viper via the central Furnace conditional access administration.
