About Mobile Video on Advanced Networks

As 3G networks evolve worldwide, the rising demand for mobile video services and the enormous growth of video on the internet is creating major new revenue opportunities for mobile network operators and application developers. By providing video-enabled media servers and gateways that allow the creation of video and other mobile interactivity applications, as well as connectivity to existing and new mobile devices, Dialogic enables its partners to bring video to both their already successful voice applications and to exciting, brand new video-only applications.

Additionally, in order to help service providers cost-effectively manage the increasing mobile video and data traffic on their networks, Dialogic offers a mobile backhaul optimization solution that provides for voice and data stream optimization for 3G, 2G and enterprise traffic.

Dialogic® Host Media Processing Software Release 4.1LIN


IP Media Server for Processing Voice and Video
Dialogic Host Media Processing (HMP) Software Release 4.1LIN is high-density media processing software for building innovative voice and video solutions. Multimedia features supported in Release 4.1 include native video streaming (H.263, H.264, and MPEG-4), video transcoding (H.263 and MPEG-4), video transrating, video conferencing, and 3G-324M (with MONA and WNSRP). Dialogic HMP Software 4.1 also supports HD Voice (wideband audio with H.722), audio transcoding (G.722, G.723.1, G.729a, G.729b, G.726, G.711, and AMR-NB), native streaming, native play/record, security features, and PSTN connectivity via Dialogic HMP Interface Boards (DNI Boards).

Dialogic HMP Software 4.1 provides concurrent audio sessions per system with a mix of voice, video, speech, T.38 fax, and conferencing resources; concurrent multimedia sessions; and advanced video sessions with audio and video transcoding. Because host processor capacity continues to increase, and consequently the number of concurrent sessions that Dialogic HMP Software can support, Dialogic regularly tests the capacity of new processors and publishes the current density test results for Dialogic HMP Software on the Dialogic website. Recent results have shown that Dialogic HMP Software 4.1 can successfully support up to 5000 SIP signaling sessions. Density and scalability are limited by the application and the capacity of the host processor in use.

Dialogic HMP Software 4.1 also contains patent-pending software that has been developed by Dialogic® Media Labs to enhance the quality of mobile video with improved bit-rate control.



Dialogic® Vision Servers and Gateways

The Dialogic Vision Family of Servers and Gate­ways is a comprehensive product line designed to enable OEMs and application providers to rapidly develop and deploy converged multimedia applications. Vision Family members include:
Dialogic® Vision VX Integrated Media Platform - A comprehensive product for the development and deployment of complex speech and video applications in TDM, SIP/IP, and 3G networks.

Dialogic® Vision CX Video Gateway - a robust gateway platform that is able to connect video-enabled mobile devices to SIP-based application platforms and can also link to PSTN networks via integrated SS7/ISUP signaling services.

Dialogic® Vision VG Media Gateway - A SIP-enabled PSTN interface for VoIP-based enhanced service platforms, supporting global ISDN and CAS signaling and offering integration with the Vision VS Signaling Server for SS7 connectivity.

Dialogic® Vision VS Signaling Server - A component that connects multiple Vision VG Media Gateways to SS7 environments, eliminating the need to learn complex SS7 signaling.



Project DiaStar

The DiaStar Server (DSS) acts as multi-function peripheral that can be implemented as a media gateway, signaling gateway, or media server. DSS operates in support of an Asterisk® (or other open source) implementation via the open-source Woomera protocol. DSS is a Woomera-compliant server and can operate in conjunction with any project or product that implements a corresponding Woomera client.
When added in a Client-Server architecture, the DSS can offer a variety of improvements to open source telephony projects.

Scalability - Media functions can be either performed by the telephony application or offloaded to the DSS to enable higher channel counts than are possible in a single-server system

Redundancy - A system can be configured without a single point of failure. If interrupted, the system switches to a backup component.

Reliability - Dialogic technology is engineered to provide high reliability and availability. Adding a DSS might require some initial downtime to configure Asterisk, but adding chan_woomera clients for Asterisk should not require downtime.

In addtion, the DSS gives developers access to Dialogic's proven media processing software and PSTN network interface technology while still creating applications in a way that is native to the project in which they are working. http://www.projectdiastar.org/

How to Get Started with Video

One of the fastest ways to build your knowledge about Dialogic HMP Software 4.1 and Dialogic IP Media Server 3.0 is to read the white papers, case studies, applications notes, and documentation assembled for these products on their Related Documents pages on the Dialogic website.

Getting Started with Dialogic® Host Media Processing Software Release 4.1LIN

Dialogic HMP Software programming is done in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which are written in C. If you want to examine these APIs to gauge the amount of C programming knowledge needed to work with them, we suggest that you examine the Video Conference Demo (VideoConferDemo) Application available online. Other demos are also accessible from the same webpage.
Both a working demo and the application code in C are supplied along with documentation.
If you have a working knowledge of the Dialogic® Global Call and R4 APIs, you should find the demo code very familiar.

Getting Started with DiaStar Technology Release 2.x

DiaStar Technology 2.x is software created through Project DiaStar, which is an open-source project sponsored by Dialogic Corporation. Because Project DiaStar is an open-source project, the capabilities of the ongoing builds and tested releases depend on the needs and interests of the participants in the project.

The capabilities of DiaStar Technology discussed here are those that are expected to be released by the end of April 2010. For up-to-date information on current capabilities, go to the Project DiaStar website at www.projectdiastar.org.

To work with the current video capabilities of DiaStar Technology, the only programming requirement is the ability to write an Asterisk dial plan. For more information on the Asterisk dial plan, go to www.asterisk.org.
