Glossary:

VideoMoverPlus™ Streaming software

A computer software product from Software by iPixCel , LLC 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 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 USA, 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 streaming from inside a moving car and fast action streaming events such as news and weather projects.

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

BurstVideo™

A feature built - in with VideoMover ™ capable of acquiring a video sequence from the camera, slice the file into very small CHUNKS and then transmit the CHUNCKS over a network to a destination. An equally smart software component will receive the CHUNKS and dynamically STITCH the chunks back together, reconstructing the original 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 AWAIT 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.

Thrane & Thrane

A satellite based network access method via BGAN terminals developed and marketed by the Thrane & Thrane company.

A

HUGHES

A satellite based network access method via BGAN terminals developed and marketed by the HUGHES company.

Microsoft Encoding technology

A standard method of converting video signal to digital compressed format and transmitting over different networks. Microsoft standard is a global standard used by most of the world computing communities.

TCPIP

A universal transport method to move data over Internet network.

UDP

User Diagrammed Protocol - a unique way of sending data over Internet with different features.

FTP

File Transfer Protocol - a method to transfer DATA over public internet where another FTP program can receive the data using an Internet Service provider in between.

GSM, EDGE™, GPRS

Popular networks for cell phone data transportation.

Video Server

A computing device equipped with necessary software and attach to adequate bandwidth to propagate and playback or share video information with large audience of people in real time while many other computers can be attached to it to get a feed off streaming video. For example, a remote VideoMover software can FEED to a Video Server while thousands of people using a personal computer - can attach to the Video Server and VIEW the LIVE FEED all at the same time.
