Networking Components for IP Video Communication

Sending video pictures from one terminal to another typically requires a multitude of processing steps which are carried out in the network, invisible to the end users. Such processing includes buffering of packet delays, packetization and depacketization, conversion of frame rate and image resolution, video transcoding, and video mixing.

Net-Scale provides expertise in building, integrating, testing, and fine tuning such components. It can custom create the necessary software quickly and deliver high quality in terms of software robustness, availability, and density (number of video channels supported on a given processor).

Video components built or supported by Net-Scale in the past include:

• RTP network interfaces.
• Video packetizers and depacketizers.
• Jitter buffers.
• Video transcoders.
• Video mixers.
• Video controller interfaces.

These components are in use today by several very large service providers worldwide.
