• Motion compensation for camera movements on the dash and content compensation while on the move. This feature is perfect for fast action video encoding and transmission of Live Streaming Video for applications such as severe weather or transmission of emergency operations which driving at highway speeds or in a fixed location..
• Automatic bandwidth adjustment based on your devices' capabilities as well as fluxuations on transmission speed. This allows for near perfect wireless bandwidth modulation. This is built specifically for vehicular or landbased operations. Perfect for traveling through land mass with hybrid combination of shared bandwidth where the uplink speed changes without notice. Counters rubber band effects of wireless networks while adjusting frame rate while NOT compromising video quality.

• BGAN network customization with Quality of Service (QoS) support for direct delivery of video over BGAN bypassing Internet and public internet pool. A must for emergency managers and serious broadcasters.
• Direct access to Inmarsat technical support for BGAN diagnostics at any time of night and day from any time zone.
• Global technical support via direct phone or email, on-site training, and custom turnkey delivery.
• Fully Equipped HUMMER H2 with BGAN and CDMA network support is available for an on-site demo.

RECEIVE software

• Automated RECEIVE software. 100% software only. No additional hardware involved
• Automatic receive of: Live Cideo stream, Store and Forward as well as BurstVideo.
• Automatic or user defined LIVE VIDEO RECORDING to digital format. ***
• Multiple FTP Site support with all standard and non-standard format supported for transfers.
• Error-resilient FTP operation with progressive download of BurstVideo for near-real time playback.
• State-of-the-art PlayList multimedia editor for Live Video feed feeds which have been recorded to hard drive, pictures, video clips with unique BIN control capabilities - use the PlayList™ to control multiple REMOTE SEND UNITS and mix and match content from multiple remote sites for on-air or mass distribution of your multimedia assets.
• Built-in presentation and administration modules with unique iLIVE™ software capabilities to receive LIVE FEED from BGAN or CDMA or BurstVideo™

*** This is a new feature as of September 2008, When receiving live streaming video, you can now record the incoming video for later playback. This feature further enhances a feature rich product.

Glossary:

VideoMover™

A computer software only product from iPixCel Software, LLC which is capable of transmitting video from remote to a receive computer using many different networks such as cable/DSL, ISDN T1, BGAN, CDMA, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, Wi-Bro, Mobile-Fi, Fiber, etc.

VSAT

(Very Small Aperture Terminal) is a satellite communications system that serves home and business users. VideoMover supports the VSAT video streaming and video conferencing using VideoMover and iSOFT-VC software components.

BGAN

Broadband Global Area Network, a wireless network with global coverage from www. inmarsat.com. VideoMover supports the network

CDMA

Code Division Multiple access - A method for transmitting simultaneous digital signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. In the United States of America, Sprint and Verizon wireless are using the CDMA network with large footprint in most major cities and states in USA. VideoMover supports the CDMA network for live video streaming from inside a moving vehicle for fast action streaming events such as news, weather events, and much much more.

ENCODING

Video encoding is the process of taking an analog video signal from any camera (or digital signal) and by feeding the signal to a PC while running VideoMover, the signal is captured, ENCODED in digital format and transmitted all at the same time. A DECODING process at the receive station, all in software format - then play back the live or stored content on a PC. This process is automated by VideoMover software.

Motion Compensation

Motion compensation is the process of applying effects and measurements to counter the effects of fast action video encoding while driving at the highway speed.

Bandwidth adjustment

Process of adjusting the frame per second (fps) rates of video (1-30 fps) with available bandwidth. The more bandwidth available, the better frame rate.

BurstVideo™

A feature built into VideoMover which is capable of acquiring a video sequence from the camera, slicing the video into very small CHUNKS and then transmit the CHUNKS over a network to a destination. An equally smart software component will receive the CHUNKS and dynamically RE-STITCH the chunks back together, reconstructing the original video in to a file. The main use of this transfer method is to access, at the receive station - "enough chunks" to constitute a FRAME of video, thus available for immediate playback. A much higher quality video can be burst to a receive decoder in near real time when compared to STORE and FORWARD feature forcing the user to WAIT for the entire file to download before playback. BurstVideo is a practical way of sending high quality footage over BGAN where price per minute cost live video streaming may be prohibitive.

Store & Forward video

A feature built - in with VideoMover capable of recording high quality video, store the video based on a given interval such as 10,20,50 seconds (or more), then placing the video file in a pool of files to be transmitted in an orderly fashion to a receive station where a PlayList™ program - bundled with VideoMover - is awaiting its arrival for download, archive and playback as needed.

Customizable Skins

A feature built-in with VideoMover capable of changing the interface "look and feel" with different colors and backgrounds to match other computer programs if needed or for better identification of software, a cosmetic feature popular with computer operators.

iLIVE™

A computer program bundled with VideoMover capable of intercepting a live streaming feed from BGAN, CDMA equipped terminals transmitting video via VideoMover software. iLIVE is also capable of recording the live stream as it is playing it back to the computer screen.

PlayList™

A computer program bundled with VideoMover capable of playing a central depository role to accumulate video clips, pictures and live feed all under one interface ready to be mixed and played back for an audience based on time, date, user name, etc.

QoS

Quality of service, where a direct connection from a satellite earth station is provided to a receive station, bypassing the public Internet pool, therefore increasing the efficiency and decreasing the latency of signal arrival, a method to receive video and data from remote in a more speedy and secure way.
