VOD/nPVR - TOUCAN - for Hospitality

The VOD MPEG4 server for Hospitality

 The Toucan servers are hybrid Video on Demand (VoD) and network Personal Video Recording (nPVR) streamers. These appliances enable "on-demand" video to IP set-top boxes or software players that support the RTSP protocol. They are designed to record and stream a very large number of simultaneous streams. The Apalis manager and several Toucan servers can be put together to serve an unlimited number of simultaneous clients.

Product Range

 The Toucan 100 VOD server is designed for the hospitality market such as hotels, hospitals, residential areas and cruise ships. It also suits a large number of corporate needs.

 The Toucan 500 is designed for the telecom operators market. For telcos, the Video on Demand solution is made of 2 components:

  • It stores videos on its hard drives and sends the streams over the IP network;
  • The Apalis manager handles all transactions.

This architecture allows the deployment of a scalable VOD cluster, where additional streaming capacity is only a matter of adding Toucan streamers.
