    Run Digital Media has partnered with Microsoft and Telestream to provide the first Internet-only system for delivering a broad range of television content, from 30-minute infomercial programming to 30-second television spots, via the Internet in a ready to broadcast format.

    Run Digital Media encodes content in Windows Media 9 (Microsoft’s implementation of VC-1, the proposed SMPTE standard), and compresses it into intelligent objects specifically for use in broadcast programming/distribution.

    The solution uses a metadata-based system to direct media on secure FTP servers and downloads content onto a Microsoft Windows-based transcoding server for playback via over-the-air broadcast.

    The system uses Telestream's FlipFactory to manage ingest at the broadcaster's site. The distribution solution maintains a wide range of all metadata.

    Internet TV systems and coding

    Today's TV viewers want more content from an increasing number of sources, and that means that Internet delivery is a growing phenomenon. With hybrid technologies emerging, it is reasonable to expect that television broadcast will increasingly use the Internet to expand throughput beyond that afforded by a single RF channel. But there are limitations to the Internet that must be understood in order to capitalize on this commodity, and some of those constraints are being overcome by new technologies.
