Description:
VIRCAS is a technology company that uses proprietary software to encode, store and stream high quality video requiring less bandwidth than other media players. By dramatically reducing bandwidth costs, we are able to deliver television and on-demand movies anywhere, anytime.
With robust blade servers in Tier 1 datacenters throughout the world VIRCAS is able to utilize the power and efficiency of a worldwide, dedicated network to expand broadcast coverage throughout the globe - something satellite and cable can not offer. In addition to expanding coverage, using an open network architecture allows for the delivery of significantly more content and functionality.
To match the picture quality of VIRCAS, other systems require viewers to progressively download content or “peer” with multiple unsecured PCs and networks. Such systems result in a poor viewing experience and content piracy and are not suitable for professionally produced programming.
VIRCAS offers consumers a better and more imaginative viewing experience. With little bandwidth, viewers can experience quality Live or On-Demand programming with increased social interaction and personalization capabilities.
As an IP-based Service Operator with a member base in excess of 6 million, VIRCAS has the power and efficiency to broadcast to the PC, TV and mobile using an open network specifically designed for viewer demand and the continuous growth of HD programming.
