Another couple of broadcast play-to-air sales!
The global market opportunity of this application is much larger
than ad insertion, and sales of this product are
accelerating. Also note that the application
is based on the MediaCluster video server which
supports other applications in interactive tv, movies,
and ad insertion.
The MediaCluster video server achieves low-cost by using
deflationary, industry commodity parts (intel chips, pci bus, NT OS, fast-ethernet, cheap disk storage); high performance by using parallel host processing, fault-tolerance by RAID-5 and clustered-hosts (ie continuous video streams despite when a host fails/or when each host loses a RAID drive/or network connection fails). Cluster technology
is a complex hardware/software solution and provides a high business barrier to competition. SEAC acquired its original intellectual capital from DIGITAL which pioneered cluster technology
pioneered cluster technology.
Former SFA video engineers seeded the development group in Atlanta producing the high performance, low cost MPEG-2 encoding and decoding cards.
High performance, high reliability, high availability software
is the core strength of SeaChange.
As sales (and time) grow the purchase prices of commodity parts decreases; as installations grow, the reliability of the system
increases, and the effectiveness of service installation, training, and support increases.
The business story gets better and better.
