Revolutionary vsn IP contribution system at NAB 2007

During its 5 th attendance to the most important worldwide trade show, Spanish company vsn will introduce this year its new IP content transfer technology.

The vsn activa stream series of products are envisaged to prompt a revolution in the way audiovisual assets are transmitted over IP networks or internet. The main advantage of the new system is that the loading-downloading contents time will be drastically cut, enabling live signal transfer over DSL and other standard broadband lines, thanks to efficient bandwidth management. All searches and content selection are carried out through a web interface that accesses directly the content metadata and “proxy” version (low resolution) file, before full quality content transfers.

The new technology presented by vsn includes the latest available developments in encoding-decoding systems, video compression, signal processing and IP transfer, all managed by a very friendly and intuitive GUI.

vsn's software also takes into account the Digital Rights Management (DRM), content watermarking and accountability associated to the commercial exchange in this channel, and includes a powerful statistic tool. This technology, currently in version 2.0, enables peer-to-peer transfers, unlike previous generations which required a central server.

The main target for this IP transfer system are TV groups, news agencies, independent TV channels, correspondents, and companies with important A/V content catalogue.
