used as video input. This might be live video from a sporting event or a full-length movie
from a DVD player. You can have one encoder for each channel or you can have one encoder
"pushing" the same live stream to multiple channels. VBoss is highly customizable and can
give any private or commercial enterprise an immediate video presence on the web.
A webinar is a customized, interactive presentation like the one shown in Figure 2. You can
create surveys, view comments, and provide Reference Videos and other Resources such as
documents and images. A webinar can be scheduled in advance and syndicated—just like a
channel and users are notified via e-mail of an upcoming webinar.
A VBoss administrator will use both the Publisher Administrator and the Channel
Administrator. The Publisher Admin is like a super user. It used to create and maintain the
Publisher viewer page. The Publisher page aggregates the stored video from all defined
channels—it does not upload its own video. Instead it has links to video uploaded by
associated channels. All video is stored on Akamai's worldwide network of server for fast
access. The publisher also aggregates and displays live scheduled events from all associated
channels.
A VBoss installation will typically have one publisher page and multiple channel pages. There
is a Channel Administrator associated with each channel page. This Channel Administrator
designs and maintains the channel page and uploads video. A typical VBoss community might
be a campus environment where there is one Publisher Admin at the university level who
maintains the university ("publisher") page, and multiple Channel Admins at the department
level who maintain the individual department ("channel") pages. VBoss runs in a browser and
has no unusual hardware and software requirements. The following tables show the minimum
hardware and software required for it to run successfully.
