ViewCast IVN for Enterprise Applications

The adoption of video within the enterprise has been steadily growing for years. Early applications of video in the enterprise primarily focused on entertainment (TV broadcast in a lobby or break room) or surveillance/monitoring (company hallways/parking lots). As video and the corporation have evolved however, these few applications have grown in importance and spawned new applications that drive business growth today.

Within the enterprise, there are often obstacles that affect the introduction of technology platforms. ViewCast IVN provides:

• Integrating video platforms 
• Reducing the amount of technology complexity
• Open-systems architecture
• Cost-effective solutions that leverage current technology assets and limit or reduce support costs
• Increase virtual office (teleworker) capabilities

The ViewCast IVN provides a single interface capable of controlling all video programming. To highlight this point, several popular IVN business applications are noted below:

• Video/Digital Signage
  ViewCast video networks support video distribution from industry-leading Digital Video Signage products such as the Aavelin system viewable on both TV and PC monitors, plasma screens and conference room projectors.

IVN provides a flexible and scalable platform where video can be delivered in an uncompressed format, via unshielded twisted pair cable, or encoded into a Microsoft� Windows Media�, Flash� or Real Networks� media file. This flexibility allows organizations to engage virtual office employees, customers and partners.
