Store &
Forward
is a digital technique of moving audio and video to one or
many locations. The audio and video signals are compressed
using MPEG and are forwarded, as data, by a data link such
as a network or fiber optics. Once this data has reached
its destination it is stored for later playback, archiving,
or further distribution.
Since
Store & Forward is not a real time distribution of the
MPEG data it provides tremendous flexibility with the data
link. Data can be forwarded at any speed from an ISDN line
to a high-speed dedicated fiber. Data can be forwarded at
a rate that is slower or faster than real time. This is dependent
on the bandwidth of the Data Link.
Advantages
of Store & Forward
 |
Cost
is lower than real time, with near real time delivery.
|
|
Video
quality can be adjusted according to immediate needs.
|
|
Data
can use available or low cost data links.
|
|
Delivery
is faster and cheaper than FedEx.*
|
|
Data
is already MPEG encoded and ready for distribution.
|
|
Each
location has its own address, allowing for unique scheduling
of content at each location.
|
Some
Store & Forward Possibilities
|
A
T1 line that is utilized by a computer data during the
day can be used to forward new program material at night
for subsequent playback.
|
|
Satellite
time can be purchased using economical data channels instead
of conventional video uplinks, and bargain rates can be
negotiated by purchasing off peak times. By using IP
technology, data can be forwarded to unlimited locations,
with the security of being sent to only authorized locations.
|
|
Provide
new material for Video On Demand Servers.
|
|
Provide
unique programming and playback schedules for each storage
location needs.
