Seamlessly Converging Video on the IP Network
A secure video distribution system, Video Furnace's video-over-IP solution makes video just another application on the network. It delivers live broadcast and on-demand TV-quality video to any network-connected viewing device, such as desktop and notebook computers, without requiring any client player software.
"The Video Furnace solution lets you manage and distribute digital, TV-quality video in the form of live TV channels, prerecorded, scheduled and VOD content over the IP infrastructure to the PC. This allows video to be used for real business reasons as opposed to entertainment purposes, like most people think of with other IPTV solutions."

What makes the Video Furnace system the right IP video solution for you?

With no client software to install or manage, and with nothing ever being written to the user’s hard drive, the Video Furnace solution is the most manageable IP video solution on the market. Video Furnace’s patent-pending InStream viewer arrives with the video stream and disappears at the end of the viewing session. Plus, it is platform-independent, so your users can be using Windows 98 and higher, Mac OS/X or Linux.
