Deliver Professional Quality Webcasts to Many Thousands of Viewers

The Qumu Video Control Center (VCC) is engineered to be both scalable and versatile. The Live Broadcast Console (LBC) is the component of the VCC that enables the highest quality professional video capture for live webcast events.  The LBC acts as the interactive dashboard to control, actively maintain, troubleshoot, and distribute live events, consisting of both video capture from encoders and rich media content (PowerPoint or VGA capture). Administrators can monitor the status of publishing points, the delivery network, encoders, and the VCC automatically keeps a console log of the event. Live Broadcasts can also be stored as a video on-demand asset or scheduled for a live re-broadcast.

  1. Interactive video experience. Viewers want flexibility to play Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Media or Flash videos.  The Qumu Silverlight player options provide multiple resizable panes within one window, allowing viewers the flexibility of freely moving around video content to suit an individual's preferences, all within one player window.
  2. Engaging viewer portal. Now that online video is part of day-to-day life thanks to sites such as Hulu and YouTube, employees increasingly expect internal video portals to show consumer-style look-and-feel, with social tagging, comments, clip-n-share, posting, embed codes and ratings.
  3. Searchable, taggable content. Qumu’s Viewer Portal provides a Carousel for easy navigation to Similar, Live, and Upcoming programs. The Viewer Portal also supports search in the user-friendly Jukebox by creator and user-defined metadata.
