Video Furnace's video-over-IP enterprise solution makes video distribution just another application on your high speed WAN or LAN IP network. It delivers world class live broadcast and on-demand TV-or HD quality video to any network-connected viewing device, such as Mac, Windows or Linux desktop and notebook computers, without requiring any client player software.
What makes the Video Furnace system the right IP video solution for schools?
It just works!
Plug it in, turn it on, and watch. It’s that simple. Once the Video Furnace system is implemented, every network-connected IP device – desktop, laptop, and digital TV set-top box – gains immediate access to live, broadcast and archived video-on-demand. What’s more, each user can easily personalize their viewing experience. |

It’s useful because it’s easy to use.
No players. No plug-ins. No downloads. No kidding! With no client software to install or manage, and with nothing ever being written to the user’s hard drive, the Video Furnace solution is the most manageable and cost effective IP video solution on the market. Video Furnace’s patent-pending InStream™ viewer arrives with the video stream and disappears at the end of the viewing session. Plus, it is platform-independent, so your users can be using Windows 98 and higher, Mac OS/X or Linux.
It’s future proof.
Software-driven and software-extensible, Video Furnace’ secure video distribution system grows with your network. Video Furnace ensures compatibility with all MPEG standards, protecting the lifespan of your video assets. In addition to storing encoded data for future use, you can digitize your analog assets and convert them to video-on-demand. You can even create your own stations and broadcast your own content with the built-in scheduler.
Video Furnace System 4 offers an end-to-end software solution built upon the MPEG standard that utilizes your private high speed IP network to deliver TV-quality full-motion live and pre-encoded content to desktops and set top box connected televisions.
Content is encoded in real-time.
Output streams are fully MPEG-1 MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compliant at bit rates from 300 Kbps to 12 Mbps. No separate hardware encoders/decoders or platform-specific players are required. An optional encryption module (AES compliant) is available for keeping content safe and secure.
