HTTP – Internal Web Server

•Provides high level access to many system features
•Some advanced features (filter adjustments, buffers, etc.) only available
through the CLI interface. These are typically adjusted on system installation
only.
•Web interface has pictorial of functioning system with all lights, card
inventory accurate.
•Sessions/streams may be defined, adjusted (bite rates, GOP sizes, etc)
•Stream adjustment is “on the fly” and almost instantaneous while encoding
(no system or card reboots)
•Diagnostic and upgrade features available through the web interface.
hai1000 Management

hai1000 Management

Management Systems
•hai1000 networks can be managed using haiVIEW, a light session manager
enabling multiple stream topologies to be launched easily
•Complex scheduling systems typically used in distance education such as
RENOVO and ProSphere support the hai1000
•Creston and AMX style controllers can easily interface with the hai1000
either through the serial management port, over IP, or by communicating with
a haiVIEW Session Server
•Custom systems may be developed to control the hai1000 through any of the
listed management methods.
hai1000 Networking

Traditional Videoconferencing
•Multipoint conferencing (and even many point to point calls) are
handled through an MCU
•The MCU moderates amongst the various technologies, performs
features such as quad-split and loudest speaker

Endpoints Endpoints

MCU
hai1000 Networking

Performance Communications
•A direct “stream” is created between each camera and each display
•All participants are given full screen real estate – no quad splits
•All audio is distributed to each room and moderated through high
quality audio systems (echo cancellers)
hai1000 Networking

Multicast vs. Unicast

•Unicast – separate streams must be generated for each remote
participant
•Multicast – a single stream is generated and replicated for multiple
participants within the network routers

Unicast Multicast
hai1000 Networking

Multicast vs. Unicast

•Unicast – typically not supported over the WAN, so unique unicast
to each destination is used
•Multicast – typically available on the LAN, specifically useful in IPTV
style deployments broadcasting to many decoders or set top boxes

Unicast Multicast
hai1000 Networking

Logical Multicast
•Each hai1000 encoder can emit multiple streams, and they can be a
mix of multicast and unicast
•Up to 3 streams per encoder is available on the web user interface,
and up to 10 streams per encoder via the CLI – each stream has the
same video parameters (ie resolution & video bitrate)
•Each hai1060 can have 5 encoders, so one system is capable of
emitting up to 50 separate video streams
•This is very useful for complex deployments. A telepresence system
may like to send 3 streams from each camera to 3 separate
destinations and have an additional multicast stream available for
internal campus broadcast.
hai1000 Networking

Logical Multicast
•Each camera sends 3 duplicate streams, one for each destination
hai1000 Networking

Bandwidth
•The bandwidth required for each room is the maximum of the
inbound or outbound streams, as bandwidth today is typically bi-
directional (full duplex).
• A one camera three display site
communicating with three other sites will
need 3 inbound streams and 3 unicast
outbound streams
• Typically we recommend adding
approximately 50% to the raw video bitrate
to get the overall bandwidth requirement –
so a 2 Mbps video stream would need a 3
Mbps connection.
hai1000 Compatibilities

The hai1000 is compatible with:

•HaiVision’s TASMAN encoder/decoder products
•HaiVision’s hai500 multi-stream codec systems (MPEG-2 mode)
•HaiVision’s haiVIEW multi-window multi-standard soft player
•Industry standard H.264 and MPEG-2 encoders and decoders
•Set top boxes (very low cost decoder endpoints), specifically the Amino
124, 125, 130, and 131
•Industry standard soft players, specifically the free and widely used VLC
player by VideoLAN
•Traditional video conferencing endpoints though INVITATION (optional).
Specifically supported is the CODIAN MCU 4500.

INVITATION

INVITATION™ – Call initiation with traditional

VTC devices for hai1000 series
• Each hai1000 encoder/decoder blade can be
treated as a separate conferencing device
• SIP based connectivity with Codian 4200 MCU
• MCU trans-signals to H.323 as required
• MCU performs necessary call format
conversions
• Call is adjusted to maximum capability of
either endpoint with regard to resolution and
bitrate
• Call can be initiated via the hai1000 interface,
the MCU, or the videoconference endpoint
