Easy on IT The Furnace is the world’s most friendly IP video system to deploy and administer. The powerful InStream client is “software on demand” – delivered in real-time broadcast to users whenever they wish to view live or on-demand media – and works across all platforms and operating systems. The Stingray set-top-box works harmoniously with InStream.
Administrative Control With Furnace, administrators have detailed control over content entitlements through flexible access control technology and with VF Command & Control, administrators can also control exactly how video is consumed. Additionally, administrators have live real-time control over every viewer and STB. They can set channels, adjust viewer characteristics, and even message directly to one or any group of viewers or STBs.
Moodle™ & BlackBoard® Integration Moodle™ and Blackboard® are two widely adopted learning/course management systems for the education sector and are now supported by Furnace. The Moodle™ Plug-in and Blackboard® Extension enables instructors and students to access live and on-demand video content and course reserve securely, from a Furnace server, adding engaging video content to courses.
