Overview
The Razorstream offerings provide various levels of flexibility and integration effort. Every next level in our tools pyramid "inherits" from the lower level and adds a further level of functionality encapsulation, thus decreasing the level of integration effort and time to market. For the teams that need ultimate control over the fine details of the business logic and have access to development tools that can consume web services we offer the Core API. Developers have ultimate control over the data flow and are free to use any one from a number of methods to upload data into the system and retrieve data back. The core API leaves up to the developer to provide the User Interface (UI), thus allowing close control of the user experience. By tapping into the next levels of the product pyramid - The Widget Factory - developers can minimize the integration time by utilizing pre-defined, well-tested building blocks, without sacrificing the ability to customize the look-and-feel and the functionality. For developers who need minimal involvement and rapid results we offer The Application Factory. The application factory includes whole application parts with all underlying business logic encapsulated in a single include statement. You have the ability to add whole application modules (for example a live webcast studio) and apply limited customizations to match the rest of your site's design. All you need to provide is some form of (optional) account management.
Video Email A simple, turn-key email client plug-ins seamlessly integrate streaming video features directly into any Microsoft® Outlook or Zimbra® email client for creating and sending high quality videos. Quickly integrate our dynamic plug-ins into your company's email client without hosting complex video solutions or managing additional servers. Best of all, both PC and Mac users can put away their gloves. Razorstream plug-ins are sharp enough to capture and deliver in Windows Media® or Flash® video formats. Once captured, Razorstream's patent pending back end converts digital files into standard media formats so you can smoothly view your video message from any Windows® Mobile device, iPhone®, Nokia® 3G phone, various video game consoles and more. Plus, with our simple cut and paste HTML features, you can easily post your videos on-demand onto any company blog, intranet, or website.
Application Factory The application modules are a logical evolution of the widgets model. They encapsulate extended functionality. While a widget will only fulfil one finite function (e.g. Capture Video, Play Video), an application module has a much wider scope (e.g. Video Blog Editor, Live Broadcast Console). The application modules are still highly configurable, but their functionality follows a pre-defined business logic module. They are targeting developers and projects that need quick integration of standardized functionality with limited level of customization.
Each module follows the same secure sandbox model that was introduced with the widgets and does not disrupt users pages. As with widgets, a module can be added to virtually any site that allows for HTML to be added to the page. Again, similar to the widgets model, all application modules are built on the same underlying platform thus providing a uniform way to authenticate and instantiate the module. This set of rules is referred to as the Application Factory. By making sure all modules derive from the same set of rules we allow developers to cut on ramp-up time and focus on the core business logic of their application. You will see that most of the logic below is very close (and often identical) to the widget factory. Current list of application modules:
Widget Factory Embeddable chunks of code have existed since the start of the World Wide Web. Web developers have long sought and used third party code chunks in their pages. A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, i.e. a web page. A widget adds some content to that page that is not static. Widgets are now commonplace and are used by bloggers, social network users, auction sites and owners of personal web sites. Widgets are used as a distribution method by ad networks, by media sites, by video sites and by hundreds of other organizations. By using our widgets you can integrate the power of the Razorstream engine within your website by the placement of a small snippet of code. The code brings in ‘live’ content – media player, video camera controls, live broadcast player – from our platform without you having to update the site continuously.
Current list of widgets:
Core API The Core SDK is a complete solution for content storage, management, streaming and transcoding based on a rich web-service API. It allows you to fully video-enable any website or online community. It offers a "Zero-UI" solution for server-to-server or desktop-to-server type of development. Developers can utilize a feature-complete set of web service calls from their application back-end or from a custom client implementation. Through the use of the API and common HTTP protocol the application can submit, organize, manipulate and retrieve content from the core content management system.
The engine also provides the ability to organize assets into individual accounts. Individual accounts can be viewed as sub-accounts within the developer's license. Separate access plans can be enforced on each individual account, thus providing the developer with optional control and enforcement on a user level. By utilizing individual accounts the CMS engine can eliminate the need for external tracking of media affiliation and usage. Within each individual account the assets can be further organized/classified by assigning them to groups and subgroups, very similar to the folder and subfolders paradigm. In addition to the grouping, the developer has the option to assign custom attributes on master asset, folder and individual account level. This, combined with the advanced search and retrieval mechanisms provided by the API allow the application development team to use the engine as a single point of integration for multiple front end applications (e.g. sharing the same storage system between presentation application, web publishing application and media-sharing application with shared user base). |
