VBrick WM Reflector

Overview Brochure

Summary

Delivering Windows Media® video and audio has never been easier. Bridging low bandwidth bottlenecks, the WM Reflector enables live video across an entire WAN and extends live mulit-cast video to the edge of the network.

Capabilities

VBrick’s WM Reflector Appliance is based on the award-winning VB6000 platform and provides multiple capabilities in one portable and reliable appliance.

Reflecting

Receive a live stream over the network and deliver it locally via unicast or multicast

The Reflector functionality allows a WM Appliance to receive video over a low bandwidth link and retransmit onto a local area network. This important capability allows the appliance to bridge low bandwidth bottlenecks by only delivering one video stream over the low bandwidth link and then delivering video to multiple end users at the far end.

Serving

Serve up to 200 live unicast streams or 20 on-demand streams

Multicasting

Multicast a live video directly from the appliance

Pushing

Push up to 25 simultaneous streams to VBrick Reflectors or to Windows Media® Servers

Recording
