Synopsis

Video and Media Servers, Second Edition provides a technical understanding of video-analog or digital-with answers to many questions that surround tapeless, digital disk, and server based video distribution. Up-dated to address the universal shift towards the use of servers for the storage and delivery of video media, this book covers such timely issues as digital television broadcasting, the acceptance of compressed digital video and storage, video-on-demand, pay-per-view, and streamed media on the internet.

The new edition includes: updates on changes in digital disk recorders, theories of storage area networks (SAN), and streaming media. Covering comparisons of network attached storage (NAS) vs SAN, principles of ftp and gigabit Ethernet, and how the video server is being purposed for web and internet, this new edition offers readers invaluable insights into the most modern technologies. Theories of servers (at the local server domain and in CentralCasting), non-video based servers, how to bridge IT based servers to video servers and vice versa, more on fibre channel networking, and an introduction to MAM (media asset management) are also included.
