Cost Savings Associated with Total Digitization to Drive Video Server Market.PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. -- In order to sustain growth in the video servers market, vendors need to win the confidence of broadcasters that are unprepared to face the increasingly high costs of digitized signals for High Definition (HD) broadcasts. Although broadcasters have lobbied hard to push back the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. ) deadline for digitized broadcasts from 2003 to 2006, the transition is essential given the high costs and complexities of maintaining analog and digital signals simultaneously. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.it.frost.com/), World Video Server Markets, reveals that revenue in this market totaled $625.0 million in 2004. It is projected to reach $2,810.7 million in 2011.

"On their part, server vendors need to emphasize the cost benefits of a digitized environment and make sure the FCC deadlines are met," explains Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Mukul Krishna. "In addition, the cost savings of moving from an analog to a digital archive coupled with real-time collaboration capabilities help drive the bottom line down." Moreover, the potential bit rate savings from emerging digital formats and better fault tolerance See fault tolerant. (architecture) fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. make a very lucrative proposition for cost-conscious end users. The reduction of traveling costs adds significant value to video server products. In fact, many corporations, especially those with employees at remote sites have started using video server enabled streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. technology for videoconferencing and training. Emerging digital formats such as MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 4/H.264 and Windows Media Microsoft's audio and video framework for Windows, which embraces playback, encoding and streaming. Windows Media Player is the digital jukebox and media player that comes with every version of Windows. 9/VC 1 are also driving growth in the video servers market. Both formats provide better bit rate savings and quality compression, and are competing to gain acceptance as the successor to MPEG 2. Currently, it is still unclear which format is expected to become the universally accepted standard. Until then, end users that have just started to move toward MPEG 2 are likely to remain cautious about committing additional funds to a new format. "In order to ease end user's concerns, vendors need to incorporate all new formats through a modular architecture that gives the end user flexibility to upgrade to an emerging format at minimal incremental costs," says Krishna. Overall, the video servers market is expected to witness strong growth, as telecommunications companies (telcos) enter the North American North American named after North America.
