Digital Planet’s success within the military and the medical segment is driven by the ability to deliver the highest quality of video output, while retaining the lowest latency for those critical applications. Applications such as ISR and homeland security demand the highest quality of video delivery, along with metadata, and Haivision products are industry leaders in this domain.

To meet the demand for more content without significantly increasing operational costs, many broadcasters are turning to the public internet for live video transport applications like backhaul, remote contribution and live interviews. Haivision’s SRT video transport technology help broadcasters make low-cost, readily available internet connections secure and reliable for low latency, HD video transport. SRT brings together encryption, packet loss recovery, and network awareness so that video and other traffic can cross unqualified networks (like the public internet).

“This SRT technology is currently being used by several regional broadcasters, allowing them to do live video contribution between their centres, using the public domain (MPLS), hence reducing their annual opex significantly,” says Mohammed Ghafari, Executive Director of Digital Planet.

The broadcast market has been very good for the company’s IPTV products. Haivision provides the complete ecosystem to deliver live broadcast video and media content to every desktop, monitor and digital signage player throughout an organisation.

“Our top success story in IPTV within

the broadcast market segment was the complete streaming and IPTV systems that were installed at the Al Jazeera Network. It was an integral part of the organisation’s recent upgrade of their teleport and studios launched during the network’s 20th anniversary celebrations,” says Ghafari.

“In the education market, we are proud to have the Northwestern University Qatar (NU-Q) as a long standing client. NU-Q is a member of the Qatar Foundation Education City, and they have been using Haivision video streaming and IPTV systems for many years.”

Haivision’s cloud-based video content management system helps organisations effortlessly broadcast live events online and manage and publish videos across websites, mobile applications and social platforms. Haivision and Digital Planet work to create ‘set and forget’ publishing workflows that automatically distribute video across selected internet destinations, giving more time to focus on content creation. This solution leverages Akamai’s CDN for storage and delivery of high quality, reliable media experiences.

The platform easily distributes secure, high quality live events (like all hands and town hall meetings) and VoD content to every employee across a multi-site organisation. A standards-based secure multicast (or unicast) eCDN allows you to scale the delivery of live video to every employee in every office without overwhelming your network. The Haivision video platform includes an intuitive user interface, iOS and android mobile applications and embeddable players.

It is critical in the business to understand market behaviour and more importantly, client needs and trouble points. With a long history in offering solutions that cater to video streaming, IPTV and corporate communications, it is natural that systems integrators and end users would look at Digital Planet to provide them with end-toend value of rich media solutions.
