The Video Furnace video distribution solution is a complete, integrated system that enables educational institutions and other organizations to deliver live, broadcast and on-demand TV-quality video to any computer or TV connected to the network. Platform-independent, the Video Furnace solution is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems, and it is the only one that does not require any resident player software, browser plug-ins or hardware on the connected devices. An industry first, Video Furnace’s patent-pending viewer, InStream, arrives with the video stream and disappears when viewing ends, eliminating the need to install or manage end-user software.
With the migration to Video Furnace, OSTN now can extend its reach to all users on a campus network, regardless of the device operating system or player software. Previously, users needed a specific operating system or media player to view OSTN content. With Video Furnace, OSTN can provide integration with course management software to deliver content such as distance-learning assignments and event broadcasts.
