Haivision's Furnace IP Video System
....has selected Haivision's advanced Furnace™ IP video system and Barracuda™ H.264 encoders to create an end-to-end IPTV solution linking the agency's headquarters with educators throughout the country. The Haivision infrastructure enables OBEC to maintain a reliable, real-time video link with geographically dispersed officers and staff, facilitating communications throughout the organization and supporting OBEC's mission to serve as the education hub for Thailand.
Fueled by Barracuda H.264 encoders, the advanced Furnace IP video system delivers media to Haivision Stingray™ STBs and InStream™ players (available on any desktop), enabling OBEC to share live video throughout its Bangkok facilities. The IP video network serves multiple purposes on a daily basis; for instance, live broadcast meetings from headquarters to the education office area notify teachers of new policies and keep all staff informed of general announcements. The system has also proved invaluable for distance learning purposes and for officer and staff training by providing a high-quality live video link from headquarters to PCs for e-training. With the first phase in place, OBEC is now implementing the second phase of the network to enable recording, playback, and WAN streaming.
