Xenon Platform™

Mobilizing Interactive Media TM

What is Xenon?Xenon is an end-to-end content delivery and service enabling platform,

delivering high quality audio and video content to a wide range of mobile

devices. Xenon comprises a suite of components providing all the features

necessary to deliver rich, interactive mobile services such as live TV and music

applications. Xenon is based upon a flexible and modular architecture, and is

available as a stand-alone solution customised to your requirements, as a

turn-key white label solution or as a hosted service managed and supported

by Vidiator.

Xenon Architecture

Xenon ComponentsEach Xenon component provides a unique function

in the platform:

• Xenon Streamer (XSS) Delivers live and VOD streams to mobile

handsets. Refer to the XSS product sheet for a

full description

• Xenon Proxy and Cache (XCP) Proxy and cache content from remote streaing

servers. This enables content stored remotely to

be delivered close to the network edge, and

caching decreases the bandwidth requirements

between the content provider and the operator

• Xenon Live Encoder (XLE) Encodes live feeds (capture card, file or IP input)

into popular mobile formats such as H.264 and

AAC, to be streamed to handsets using a server

such as Xenon Streamer. Refer to the XLE

product sheet for a full description

Xenon has a modular architecture as illustrated

below (simplified), each module acting as a “plug

and play” component in the system as a whole.

• Stream live and VOD content in popular formats including H.264, MPEG-4,

H.263, AMR, AMR-WB, AAC, HE-AAC (v.1 and v.2), and Windows Media

• Compatible with all 3GPP and 3GPP2-compliant handsets

• Dynamic Bit-rate Adaptation (DBA) optimizes stream quality on-the-fly

• Fast Channel Switching (FCS) enables fast, seamless switching between

live channels

• Server-side playlists for advert insertion and music playlist streaming

• Bookmark streams (return to a saved point automatically)

• Encode live content from capture cards, file or IP input

(Windows Media and IPTV)

• Works with standard DVB-H and Mobile TV broadcast equipment

• Overlay images and text onto videos in real-time

• Powerful and simple billing interfaces (SOAP / HTTP)

TM

Scalable and FlexibleXenon is extremely scalable and additional modules can be

added very quickly. For example, when you need to deliver more

concurrent streams simply add another server, and when more

live channels are desired just add a new encoder module. The

same modularity enables us to deliver tailored services and

applications to meet your specific needs, for example Mobile

Music, UGC, Mobile TV are available as stand-alone solutions or

combined.

Fault TolerantXenon has been designed from the ground up as a carrier-grade

system that can deliver content seamlessly around the clock.

Individual components have in-built fault tolerance, and the

supporting platform components (such as Xenon Module

Supervisor and Xenon Admin Centre) enhance this even further.

Industry-standard protocols including SNMP enable integration

into OSS monitoring systems.

Simple IntegrationXenon integration is kept simple by using an extensible plug-in

framework (Xenon Service Broker) in addition to easy-to-use

APIs that control advanced features such as Fast Channel

Switching (refer to the Xenon Streamer product sheet). Support

for both unicast and multicast enables you to deploy a single

solution for cellular streaming and mobile TV broadcast respec-

tively.

Device and Network Independent Our technology is server oriented and enables rapid deploy-

ment across different wireless and wired networks and devices.

Our unique DBA technology ensures that we deliver the best

video quality across these networks in static and dynamic

environments (e.g. roaming from UMTS to GPRS).

Compatible with Standard HardwareXenon components run on standard hardware and software

platforms (such as Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems), Vidiator

is committed to support the most reliable operating systems

and hardware platforms on the market.

Proven DeploymentsVidiator has deployed Xenon systems to more than 30 operators

and media companies in over 20 countries. Xenon delivers in

excess of 1 million streams to more than 15 million 3G subscrib-

ers every day.

• Xenon Live Relay (XLR) Relays live content from remote XLE modules to multiple

streaming servers. Can also relay RTSP streams from

remote Darwin and Helix servers to a Xenon cluster

• Xenon Offline Encoder (XOE) Encodes file-based source content into mobile-ready VOD

files to be downloaded or streamed. Refer to the XOE

product sheet for a full description

• Xenon Admin Centre (XAC) Provides a single point of management for the entire

Xenon Platform, per forming tasks such as system

administration, configuration, monitoring and content

generation

• Xenon Module Supervisor (XMS) Monitoring to ensure each module is running correctly

• Xenon Service Broker (XSB) A plug-in framework for integration with back-end

systems such as authorization, billing, and a web portal.

XSB provides some built-in service logic such as per-per-

view and subscription billing functions

• Xenon Windows Media (XWM) Delivers Windows Media streams from the Xenon Platform,

so that a single system can deliver both standard 3GPP

and Windows Media formats
