Stream

Stream is our native Windows XP application designed to be the easiest streaming and media ingest application available. The Stream interface is easy to use, but it also has deep features which allow you to fully automate the process of getting video in to our out of your network. There are three versions of the Stream software, the basic app known simply as Stream and our more advanced applications known as StreamPro and StreamEnterprise.
