Broadcast

Stream delivery from any where to any device.

P2P Streaming Capability

Stream from security cameras, action cameras, wearables or IoT cameras directly to HTML5 players

• Two way streaming
  Two way video and audio communication through single or multiple endpoints
• Game streaming
  Application for capturing the screen during gameplay. May include other features like:
  • If machine has a video capture device, it may capture the player and display it as a PIP on the capture screen.
  • If machine has an audio capture device, it may also capture voice feed from the player for commentary.

VOD

Streaming of stored videos.
Ex. Netflix

• live streaming
  Streamin of ‘live’ videos.
  Ex. Live news coverage
• FB Live
  Streaming of live videos in Facebook
• YouTube
  Streaming of live videos in Youtube
• Twitch
  Streaming of live videos in Twitch

Streaming System Integration

Creating new applications OR updating/enhancing existing applications by adding seamless support for the devices listed below.

• Embedded devices
  Any devices powered by micro controllers even with limited memory and space can be supported because of EMS’ small footprint.
• IP cameras
  Media server with mutiple procotol support can easily be installed.
• Drones
  Live streaming from the drone’s camera with metadata delivery and/or ingest support.
• Cloud
  Ease of integration with Amazon S3 and other CDN related services.

IoT

Any devices powered by micro controllers even with limited memory and space can be supported because of EMS’ small footprint. Allows streaming and metadata exchanged between devices and user endpoints such as browsers, mobile devices, smart screens, etc.

5G

5G ready streaming solutions

Streaming Protocol Implementation

The act of adding support for a particular streaming protocol.
– Ex. Add support for H.265 streaming over RTSP.

Web and Mobile Apps

Android and iOS streaming applications directly from device as well as direct playback.

AR/VR Solutions

Live 3D streaming capability.

Metadata Delivery and Ingest

The EvoStream Media Server now provides robust mechanism for ingesting metadata of all types and associating it with video streams. The metadata can be anything from location data to thumbnail images to heart rate data. Metadata is timestamped against the video and transparently transported with the video throughout your entire workflow. It is then delivered in real-time with your video for display or analysis along with your video. Whether you are using our new HTML5 low latency streaming or HLS with 30 seconds of delay, your player will receive the metadata frame-aligned and in-time with the video.

Deliver Field of View Data – Give real-life coordinates for your video. Include Gyro and IMU data so that overlays can be drawn relative to the real world. Facilitate dynamic overlays in your augmented reality devices.

Track drones and wearables – Deliver altitude and location data to provide mapped routes, alert users to altitude limitations or display stats of the user’s latest trick (Full 540, got 10 ft of air!) in real time with the video.

Monitor Biometrics in real-time – Track the heart-rate of police or military, collect extra acoustic data to detect shots fired, asses a volatile situation prior to paramedics arriving on scene

Transcoding

Create lower resolution copies of your stream for true adaptive bitrate streaming.

Streaming Service Monitoring and Management

Application or system that can discover, provision and monitor video streaming devices and services over the network. Functions include:

EMS:

• Discover all EMS instances running within the network.
• EMS configuration management
• Charting and visualization of the stream activities associated with each EMS (i.e. how many clients attached to a particular ems? is this ems over-provisioned? how many clients are viewing a particular stream? Is there a need to spread the stream across other EMS instances? etc.)

Streaming Devices:

• Discover cameras within the network (what services are offered? rtsp? ptz? f/w update? etc.)
• Visualization – show which cameras are associated with a particular EMS instance.

Monitoring

• Indicate the status of each EMS and Streaming device
• Notification when a service or device or ems instance goes down (or is overloaded, etc.)
• Historical data
  • show when a particular EMS or Device receives the highest load
  • show when a particular stream is being viewed the most
  • produce reports (perhaps useful for content provider, billing)

Additional Provisioning

• Provide intuitive user interface for provisioning EMS both as a sigle entity and as part of a whole system. (ex. instead of providing an atomic UI for adding a stream to ems, why not provide a UI for adding a ‘service’ which might involve doing pullstreams to multiple sources, creating aliases, etc.)

Content Monetization

Paywalls – Can be easily integrated into the EMS to ensure only your paying customers can access your premium content

Ad Insertion – Included for no additional fee. Use Server Side Playlists to schedule ad playback or even insert content on the fly.

Watermarking – Can be used to both protect your content but to also introduce incentives to your customers to purchase paid services. Watermarking is great in “Freemium” product models.

Load Balancing

Web Services – Provide an extensible backend to manage your load balancing strategy

Lazy Pull – Allows you to only forward content when there is a current active viewer, hugely reducing overall bandwidth

Auto Forwarding – To your different POPs to maintain content continuity

Content Distribution

Set your content free! Whether you are a Broadcaster, an OTT content provider, or operating a surfing camera website, you will be able to find the right mix of scale and cost to meet your unique needs. Rapidly deploy an online streaming solution in the cloud with the EvoStream Media Server!

Networked Digital Video Recorder (NDVR/NVR)

Provide access to your customer’s security cameras, action sports cameras, drones and more through an integrated NVR system. Stream live, low-latency, video. Record video and play it back later. Even provide true DVR functionality, allowing users to seek backwards in time during live video playback.

Content Delivery Network (CDN) Service

Operate your own CDN! Provide a place for users to push their video and build a community around that content. Reach users on any device and on any screen. Monetize with Ad insertion or put premium content behind a paywall.

Encrypted And Secure Streaming

Encrypt your streams using SSL/TLS from end to end. Reduce your attack surface by limiting or eliminating entirely open sockets on your stream sources. Keep full control of your streaming workflows deploying EvoStream software within your ecosystems.
