The demand for video in the business environment is rapidly growing, creating new opportunities for providers and customers alike. One key player in this space, AVerMedia Technologies is focused on developing key video conferencing initiatives to promote collaboration and integration of this technology in the workplace.

In a recent news release, AVerMedia announced the AVerCaster. This customized solution aims to improve video conferencing for all as it enables video capture and streaming for industrial users in a number of application fields.

A multicast system, the AVerCaster is equipped with multiple TV tuner cards, also known as video capture cards. The solution easily integrates and streams different TV or video sources to multiple clients within the local area network (LAN) at the same time. AVerCaster can be applied in different businesses, including restaurants, hotels, banks, transport agencies, and public or medical institutions.

For those users seeking to take video conferencing to the next level, the comprehensive backend management system delivered in the AVerCaster is expected to serve as a cost-efficient solution for any high quality infotainment system.

Getting into more specifics, the AVerCaster easily serves as a more reliable and organized relay station of live video conferencing content, TV or other value-added services. The solution is designed to support various video sources and TV standards. When connected to cable, Blu-ray players or satellite TV set-top boxes, the AVerCaster can transform your pay TV and other premium content into an IP signal to deliver multicast streams to clients within the LAN.

The contents of any video conferencing session can be watched without IP set-top boxes and video streams can be delivered to any media player with TRP, UDP (News - Alert) or TCP support. As a result, clients can enjoy the content offered by the service provider with any Internet-capable device, such as a tablet, TV, notebook, PC or smartphone.

Video conferencing can also be extended to hotels and medical service centers with AVerCaster. The solution enables time and money savings by eliminating the need for cabling and set-top box installation in each room. The existing infrastructure can be used to provide clients with the desired rich multimedia entertainment content, as well as other premium services.

Customer satisfaction is improved with access to high quality video conferencing and other video content. The powerful Web management interface delivered with the AVerCaster allows systems managers to easily control and monitor the entire infotainment system from a remote location.

With expertise and experience in multimedia processing, AVerMedia can fulfill its commitment to providing robust and reliable products. This latest solution performs well in long-term operation environments and when multiple clients are connected. The high configurability and flexibility ensure the application fits well in high video demand areas.
