Major Enhancements to Distributed Media Engine Deliver Robust Support for Diverse Video Formats, Devices; Enables Security & National Defense Applications

WALLINGFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Enterprise IP video leader VBrick Systems today announced major enhancements to the industry’s first comprehensive Enterprise Content Delivery Network (ECDN) platform. The H.264 Distributed Media Engine (DME) ensures efficient distribution of live and on-demand streaming video content to diverse endpoints, across dispersed locations. The DME’s Release 2.0 software can now transform and redistribute virtually any H.264 video stream, creating multiple streams of multiple video formats - simplifying video delivery to more users and their vast array of devices. Even users who buy the new iPhone® 5 and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) devices will be able to participate in live video corporate meetings & events, watch training & education content or efficiently access stored rich media.

VBrick’s DME is the networking element of the VBrick Enterprise Video Architecture (VEVA), which spans video capture, distribution, play-out and overall video content management. The DME can be deployed at the edge of a network while being managed centrally by VBrick’s VEMS MystroTM media management portal. As the networking element, DME 2.0 delivers robust support for the latest video standards including HLS (aka Apple Adaptive), Flash, Smooth Streaming & Transport Stream. The latter, along with sophisticated KLV metadata, enables delivery of video that includes telemetry data required for security and defense applications.

As high-definition video use continues to grow rapidly in enterprises, government, healthcare and education -- demand is growing to minimize bandwidth consumption. The DME effectively transforms and redistributes live, rich-media content; supporting cutting edge mobile phones and tablets. It also provides video content cache, storage and serving to assure that stored content is delivered as close to the end user as possible.

“In just the four months since we introduced the DME, we have seen incredible demand for this solution. We are already seeing deployments with tens or hundreds of units,” said John Shaw COO. “It’s clear that organizations are turning to VBrick to make it far easier to support video across multiple sites and multiple endpoints. Whether it is government entities, schools, healthcare facilities or large enterprises, the goal is to make rich, high-definition video more available without impacting network capacity.”
