ChurchNet
Video Server Scheduling Systems Overview:
|
| |
The Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling System is
a video scheduling solution that allows for the creation of “Programmable TV
Stations for Churches”. Video scheduling of stored, and optionally live video,
for Internet, satellite and cable TV or IPTV, low power TV stations and digital signage type scenarios
is made possible with our solutions.
The Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling Systems
are a collection of software and hardware tools that allow Churches to spread
the gospel to those watching TV via PC's, TV's, smart phones or tablets.
The Churchnet TV Video Server
Scheduling System provides two basic functions:
1. video scheduling
2. video delivery (streaming)
The
Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling
software is designed with flexibility in mind. It can be installed at your
Church, video editing studio, or a hosted web server.
Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling
software is based on the scheduling of playlists, or collections of videos.
Here are
the basic steps to scheduling videos with the Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling
software:
1. Add
videos to the software database (pointers to either "stored" or "live" video).
2. Create
playlists
3. Add
videos (from step 1.) to your playlists
4. Schedule
your playlists (to play at specific times, or "looping/repeating").
When
Channels as "Looped" playlists are not time based, they just
keep "looping" or playing over and over until they are changed.
When
scheduling based on time, playlists can be as short as a minute, or as long as
24 hours.
Example: at
10am a Churchnet TV Channel plays "A" playlist
which contains 12.5 minutes of video content, then at 10:12:30 am, it plays the
"B playlist, which may be a collection of informational videos which runs for 5
minutes. Then at 10:17:30 am the Channels plays the "C" playlist, which runs 12.5 minutes of
programming.

Keep in
mind that Playlists A, B and C can either contain "live" or 'stored" videos. "Live" video
can be scheduled from a video stream (URL) from the Internet, or with
an optional capture card, video could be supplied from a video camera, mixer or
even a Set Top Box (STB).
The
(optional) ability to stream directly from the Churchnet TV Video Server
Scheduler System without the need for third
party encoding software like the Windows and Flash Media Encoders not only makes
the scheduling system much easier to use, but also removes the requirement to
transcode videos if they are already formatted for streaming over the Internet.
However, if
transcoding is required, the new Churchnet TV Video Server
Scheduler System provides that (optional)
functionality built-in. You can now have a master library of videos in HD
format, and schedule them to play, but actually stream them simultaneously to
various devices at different bit rates and video resolutions using the optional
"Chameleon Encoder" transcoding option.
The Churchnet TV Video Server Scheduling
System software components are installed onto standard off the shelf hardware
with generic Microsoft Operating Systems like Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server
2003 and 2008, but can be purchased bundled on rack mount servers as well.
(Linux versions available soon).

Churchnet TV
Video Scheduling Server:
|
| |
The
Churchnet TV Video Scheduling Server is a service that operates on the Microsoft Windows family of
Operating Systems, as well on Linux Ubuntu. The number of simultaneous streams
that can be serviced by the Churchnet TV Video Scheduling Server is dependent on the
hardware it's running on, and what load is required of it (standard definition
or high definition videos, etc). It most cases it's more effective to use the
Churchnet TV Video Scheduling Server to
transcode scheduled playlists into multiple
formats, and stream each format to a streaming provider (CDN) and have
that provider stream multiple copies of each format to the end users.
The Churchnet TV Video Scheduling Server and Streamer can
deliver multiple streams directly to playback devices such as set top boxes,
smart phones and PC's, or stream to CDN's (Content Delivery Networks) for
redistribution to an unlimited number of devices.
The
Server stores video
scheduling data such as clip name, start and end points, duration, storage
location or URL, and also
stores Channel and Playlist information in its database. Unlike the MvTv Video
Server, the Churchnet TV Video Server utilizes a "Firebird" database rather than a MS
SQL or Access database.

Adding a video capture card such as
the BlackMagic Intensity Pro with our "Live Source" option allows streaming
from live sources such as video cameras, DVD and BluRay players, Set Top Boxes (STB's) etc., or
playback via the video outputs to monitors or cable plants via modulators.
