The evolution in digital technology has led television broadcast facilities through a phase of transition. Analog to digital transmission and the transition to high-definition (HD) content have led to more opportunities for broadcasters, service providers, and equipment manufacturers. As a result, consumers now have access to more high quality audio and video content through diverse media such as cable, satellite, Internet protocol television (IPTV), mobile and Web-based networks.

Amongst the array of services available to the consumers today, personalized and interactive services such as video-on-demand (VOD) have transformed the way consumers watch television. The success of on-demand television has further led to the birth of more enhanced capabilities such as pause live TV, catch up TV, networked personal video recorders (NPVRs), and interactive advertising. This proliferation in content services is expected to drive broadcasters and service providers to install state-of-the-art technology products in their facilities, including video servers to ensure streaming of high-quality content into the homes of viewers. Video servers are critical broadcast equipment that facilitate and manage ingests, and processing and storage of videos, thus contributing to a wholesome viewing package for the end viewer.
