OpenStream® Digital Services Platform

(http://www.n2broadband.com/productview.ink?productid=2504) The OpenStream® Digital Services Platform (DSP) is the industry's only complete open on-demand platform that enables service providers to quickly and affordably offer on-demand services such as video-on-demand (VOD). Based on open, published interfaces, OpenStream® DSP offers service providers not only everything they need to deliver a comprehensive VOD solution, but also an infrastructure for advanced digital services beyond VOD. OpenStream® DSP enables service providers to easily deploy on-demand services using VOD servers, networks, billing systems, client applications, conditional access systems and other system components of their own choice. The platform's open architecture provides compatibility with established video servers as well as next generation VOD pumps. OpenStream® DSP also enables multiple server complexes to co-exist in the same headend. This allows operators to utilize existing servers from proprietary systems in conjunction with VOD servers from multiple vendors that embrace open-standards based solutions.
The architecture can be used with any application provider and can provide server side components as well as client protocol components to support the chosen application provider, as needed. With CORBA and web services interfaces, OpenStream® DSP provides an opportunity for more developers to provide applications to service providers without requiring custom integration with video servers or billing systems. OpenStream® DSP has extensive flexibility to support Motorola, Scientific Atlanta, DVB and IP networks all from a single installation. In addition, OpenStream® DSP's component based architecture offers a number of installation options including standalone, regional and nationally controlled systems. The Small Market Centralized Solution enables service providers to offer on-demand services in even the smallest sites while minimizing operations costs by centralizing VOD management functions in one location. With high and low bandwidth options, OpenStream® DSP gives service providers the flexibility to offer on-demand services in locations that were previously not cost-effective.
