| | In recent years, we've seen widespread adoption of video streaming in the enterprise. Typical uses include employee training and corporate communications. In this 10-minute video, Citrix engineer Aureliano Lopez-Martin demonstrates SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration and explains how Citrix's RAVE (Remote Audio & Video Extensions) technology delivers video streaming with excellent quality \-\- including High Definition \-\- and very high server scalability. |
| | |
| | To set the stage, consider the two basic alternative approaches to delivering streaming media from a centralized application or desktop delivery system. You can either render the video centrally and send it in a standardized compressed format to the client, or you can decode the _native_ compressed media stream on the client device using the appropriate codec. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. |

| | Recently, I posted a [video of Vista Aero Remoting|http://community.citrix.com/display/~derekt/2008/02/01/Video+of+Apollo+at+the+Summit+08+Tech+Lab], a technology currently being developed under project Apollo. The Apollo Vista Aero Remoting technology takes a generic approach to delivering whatever appears on the user's virtual desktop. The beauty of that approach is that it delivers a "full fidelity" user experience for _whatever_ the user needs to view on the screen, whether it is a Flash or Windows Media video, a next-generation Windows application written in WPF or Silverlight, or any other application technology. |

| | The RAVE technology behind SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration is an optimization specifically for streaming video and audio. It leverages client-side resources to increase server scalability (the number of concurrent users) and thereby reduce the cost per user. [Take a look at this video|http://mfile.akamai.com/8296/wmv/citrix.download.akamai.com/8296/TechVidEnc/RAVEdemo.asx] and you'll learn about the advantages and requirements of the RAVE approach and get a glimpse into the future of this innovative technology. |
