Our Solutions: Haivision develops cutting-edge encoding and IP video distribution technology and focuses on the performance application of video compression technology. Our products adhere to industry standards such as H.264 and high definition, offering the best quality, the lowest latency and the highest levels of security. By offering end-to-end solutions, Haivision delivers performance and reliability from the content source through to viewing endpoints: to interactive telepresence-style suites, boardrooms, and conference theaters with the lowest latency, to set top boxes for coordinated low cost media delivery, and to desktops throughout an organization.
Our Story: Haivision is based in Montreal and Chicago, serving markets via systems integrators and OEM partners. Haivision was the first company to develop advanced, high performance, and low latency H.264 codec technology. Today, we are shipping our 4th generation H.264 implementation supporting high definition up to 1080p60.
In early 2009, Haivision Systems merged with Video Furnace creating Haivision Network Video. Video Furnace was formed in 2002 with the vision of delivering IP video most elegantly throughout organizations. The fundamental proposition of Video Furnace is an IP video distribution system that enables simple and rapid deployment through a “software on demand” approach to player access and encourages user adoption through an easy to use player interface. Video Furnace has honed this product technology through years of close collaboration with top clients within the higher education and enterprise segments. The crown jewel of the Video Furnace system is the “zero footprint” InStream™ player technology that enables secure video access throughout an organization immediately after the central Furnace server is installed. The InStream™ player requires zero installation, zero maintenance, zero upgrades and works on any platform (Windows, Mac OS/X, Linux, Unix, Sun Solaris 10) or set-top box (Stingray™).
Shortly after the merger, HaiVision announced Video Furnace System 5 – cooperation between the hardware and software engineering teams that yielded a complete end-to-end IP video distribution system.
Our Magic: Haivision offers the world’s first and only end-to-end managed IP video distribution system supporting H.264 high definition.
Your Future: Going forward, Haivision will extend the power of the foremost H.264 encoder technology matched with the magic of the most elegant IP video delivery architecture. Our clients expect further system-wide intelligence for video handling both within and beyond the local boundaries of the enterprise and efforts towards increasing the value of content through marrying video and referential data.
Our Success: Haivision ’s products are deployed worldwide. The hai1000™ family multi-stream codec system is the quarterback technology for thousands of telepresence suites serving many of the world’s top organizations. The Mako™ and Makito™ technology delivers high definition between operating rooms, to viewers within conference centers, supervising physicians in their offices and even used for telesurgery. The Video Furnace system serves video to over 4 million viewers across the leading university campuses and throughout Fortune 100 enterprises. The Piranha™ delivers low latency H.264 video blended with real time metadata originating from unmanned aircraft assuring the rapid response of armed forces. Today, hundreds of Haivision products are installed in DoD networks around the world.
Haivision very much appreciates the continued support and encouragement of our clients, systems integrators, and OEMs.
