OmniCast for Digital Cinema
Fast and Efficient Digital Cinema Distribution
Theater owners, content creators, and content distributors can all enjoy significant benefits by upgrading to OmniCast for the delivery of media to theaters.
OmniCast software is a patented media distribution system that securely and efficiently moves media over satellite and terrestrial networks with guaranteed delivery. It is much more efficient than traditional IP-based technologies such as FTP. OmniCast permits 100 percent reliable, confirmed transfer of very large files at very high speeds (up to 300Mb/s) with 99 percent bandwidth utilization over satellite and terrestrial networks. If transmission is lost due to external events, automatic recovery begins where it left off without having to redistribute the entire file. Distribution originates from a centralized point with delivery to hundreds or thousands of remote locations simultaneously.
Digital Cinema Package (DCP) Distribution Made Simple
OmniCast makes the technically advanced and challenging process of DCP distribution easy and manageable. The highly reliable "one-to-many" delivery system can be deployed on any standard Windows- or Linux-based platform and utilizes highly efficient, reliable multicast/unicast data transfer built upon OmniCast's award-winning protocol for cost-effective and reliable on-time delivery of all digital content, regardless of size or number of remote locations. OmniCast can handle both multicast and point-to-point transfers and is simply the most robust solution on the market for digital cinema networks.
