Hi all,
Have a potential requirement here to give "video on demand / streaming
video" for a network of about 200 users as follows:
1: Limited number of "broadcast" channels - e.g. Sky News, BBC News
24
2: Some "video library" features - e.g. training videos
3: Some "live in house broadcasts" - e.g. Chief Exec's speeches
I have said that, realistically, we want one "receiver" permanently
tuned
into each brodcast channel (ie ITV Digibox on BBC News, Sky box on Sky
News)
etc.
I also think that the "ripping any videos to HDD and storing them on
dedicated server" is a good idea.
I have the ability to roll out dedicated client software if needed, but
would rather use the standard XP Media player if possible. (XP Pro will be
the
standard client O/S)
I have switched 100Mb / sec to desktop, with a 1Gb backbone.
... now, I could build this all myself, obviously :-)... but the hard
part
is that we want something with "enterprise features" like..
... automated rollout of the "video library" to remote servers in branch
offices.
... automated content caching of the "live in-house broadcasts"
... possibly on-demand caching of the "external broadcasts", so that if
two
users in office B are watching channel x, then channel x only gets sent
over
the WAN once.
Any recommendations? ... have budget :-)
Mark
