Extron - A/V Streaming Principles
Streaming
a method of transporting media content over a network as steady, continuous flow, allowing
playback to proceed while subsequent data is received.
Accessibility
An advantage of streaming. View content on computers, laptops, and mobile devices without
having to download it.

Scalable distribution
An advantage of streaming. Extend visual communication beyond a room or building to any
destination
Greater flexibility
An advantage of streaming. Seamless integration into existing systems and simplified cable
infrastructure
A/V Source Signals
The start of the streaming solution. These are put into production equipment, then fed into a
streaming media encoder.
encoder
, used to provide high quality video processing and deliver content to a media server for live
sessions or archiving over the internet.
Sufficient network bandwidths
should be made available for the encoder to deliver HD video streaming to the media server.
streaming media decoder
When IP data reaches this, the original information can be retrieved.
Decoders
have the flexibility to play back locally connected AV signals, a live streaming source, or media
files from memory and storage devices.
Stored Content
Video that can be steamed on demand for convenient viewing playback, a method leveraged by
netflix and YouTube. Content for images, videos, and music can be located on a storage device
or server. When it's ready to be viewed, users can request the media files to be transported for
playback.
Progressive Download
When video files are stored on a webserver and the files are downloaded over the internet.
Once a video file is requested from the client, the video file will start to play once enough of the
file is received. A standard, non-progressive download can only be played when the entire file is
downloaded.
Processing
In order for streamed content to travel from the source to an endpoint, it needs to undergo
significant __________.
Encoding
First step of the streaming process. The incoming source signal is processed, and compressed.
places the compressed video and audio data into packets.
