SVA Software


The SVA 2.0 software manages the MultiSource and MultiView devices to create a true distributed multimedia environment. We will place the SVA-2.0 documentation on line. In addition to an overview of SVA 2.0 software the current platforms, configurations and third party equipment that we support are detailed below.


Operating Systems

The SVA-2.0 software runs on a variety of hardware architectures and operating systems. We support or plan to support all popular platforms in order that our solutions may be applied as widely as possible within a customers organisation. The current operating system platforms that we support are:

We are working on supporting:


Video Cards

The SVA-2.0 software is able to use the native frame buffer and workstation windowing system in order to display video. There is no need to purchase special purpose video hardware. Our software will handle the display of both uncompressed and Motion JPEG video streams. When high frame rate and large picture size is required it may be appropriate to install a workstation vendor or third party supplied video assist card to offload some of the video processing from the main processor. The JPEG decompression cards that we currently support are:


Audio Cards

Most modern workstations are now equipped with audio codecs as standard. The SVA-2.0 software uses these devices to play out the audio streams that may be generated by MultiSource and MultiView series units. The quality and flexibility of the audio support varies between vendors. The SVA-2.0 software allows the user to select audio stream parameters that provide the best cross platform performance. Pleae note that certain IBM workstations do not include audio hardware as standard. In this case the IBM Ultimedia audio card is required which is supported in the SVA-2.0 distribution.


ATM Network Interface Cards

The SVA-2.0 environment uses native ATM in order to transport video and audio directly to the end user. The ATM NICs that we curently support are:

Note that PVC operation is currently supported across all of the above NICs. SVC (Fore Systems SPANS) operation is supported on all of the Fore Systems NICs listed above. The SVA-2.0 software is being ported to the ATM Forum API and also interim vendor solutions in order to provide UNI3.0/3.1 access directly to the workstation. The MultiSource and MultiView series products can communicate directly with each other using either Fore Systems SPANS or ATM Forum UNI 3.0/3.1 signalling.
