Streamphony

About

Invention Streamphony is a software suite for large-scale live and VoD multimedia streaming which includes video, audio and data over the public Internet. It enables an optimized global streaming cloud for high bit-rate applications. For the industry's growing demand for internet broadcasting, innovative software technology solves the low clearance and high latency problems in internet broadcasting. Streamphony has advantage of its high efficiency and low deployment cost. In Streamphony, the multimedia stream is divided into multiple substreams, where video stream can be divided into multiple parts and are intelligently sent over multiple paths to distributed proxies as shown in below. The edge proxies are able to assemble a full stream by aggregating all the substreams. This multi-path approach effectively overcomes bandwidth bottlenecks in the network, making a high bit-rate streaming in excess of multi-Mbps is possible. The streaming cloud also employs a more robust and low-overhead recovery mechanism. Due to its innovative push-based protocol and distributed optimization, Streamphony achieves a much lower end-to-end delay, link stress, server stress and resource consumption when compared with other traditional overlay protocols. The streaming cloud is able to accommodate churns, and is distributed and self-improving. Marketing Opportunity In addition to video broadcast (network television, conferences, etc.), Streamphony can also be applied to time-sensitive data, such as stock quotes. It achieves sub-second delay, which is much faster than multiple seconds when compared to many other existing stock-quote streaming solutions. Key Benefits The mesh structure is optimized by the master stream selection and adaptation. Compared to traditional protocols, Streamphony provides stable transmission with less delay. Lower end-to-end delay, link stress, server stress and resource consumption and bandwidth requirement. Streamphony monitoring system provides a graphical view of the network for better visualization, performance monitoring and management of the servers, proxies and clients. High flexibility – it extensively supports streaming media codec and data sources (video, audio, data and raw data). It also supports variety of client devices, such as computers, notebook computers, Android devices, iOS devices, Windows Mobile.
