The Starbak V3 Video Portal and Integrated Network is the third generation of this groundbreaking series of fully integrated enterprise video communications solutions. In 2005, Starbak changed the face of enterprise video by introducing INV--the industry’s first video communications platform that included everything organizations needed to reliably adopt video as a communications paradigm. By combining video creation and capture, video content delivery, digital signage, and video portals, all in one platform from one vendor, INV offered an alternative to the expensive and often unworkable multi-vendor solutions.
Now, with V3, Starbak has raised the bar again. As the next generation of INV, the new Starbak V3 incorporates all of the elements necessary for creating, sharing, organizing and distributing video in multi-campus or global environments. With V3, however, the concept of the video portal is taken to a new level. V3 not only provides a rich viewer portal with video content easily organized into logical categories and channels; but it also streamlines the workflows for creating and publishing live and on-demand video programming to an extent not possible with integrated, multi-vendor solutions. The V3 portal guides the user with graphical cues and easy-to-follow guides, simplifying these complex processes to the point that anyone in the organization, with no help from an IT professional, will be a confident viewer or publisher of video programs within minutes of using the system for the first time.
The Starbak V3 Solution includes:
Video Portal: A complete, easy-to-use, web-based environment that acts as a single destination for viewers, publishers and network administrators, and simplifies all of the workflows for creating and publishing video.
Video Capture: The tools and software necessary to capture video from any source and publish it to the V3 video portal; includes the patented Starbak technology that easily converts any standard videoconferencing endpoint into a “streaming studio” for webcasting live messages and synchronizing with Powerpoint presentations, or recording video for on-demand replay.
Video Delivery: A distributed network of streaming servers that intelligently routes video across LANs and WANs to guarantee a high-quality viewing experience, while efficiently using available bandwidth.
Digital Signage: An application that allows publishers to create playlists of live and on-demand video assets that can be distributed to any number of TVs, LCDs and plasma screens for passive viewing around an organization, in hallways, lobbies, cafeterias and auditoriums.
