  • lossy
  • lossless
  • Pulse Code Modulation
  • Delta Modulation
  • Bitrate
  • AVI

Many Advantages of Video Servers:


They store data that includes Meta data and allows for fast searches of names, remarks, dates, time codes, etc. They at times include a genlock input device, which is used to synchronize other television pictures together. It is typically provided to avoid the need for time-based correction or Frame synchronizers.


They also allow for direct to disk recording in which analog signals, digital signals, and digital audio and digital video are digitally recorded to optical disk technologies like DVDs and CDs. They can also be recorded to hard drives and videotape. Video servers can transmit information on different interfaces such as SDI for digital video and XLR for balanced analog audio, AES/EBU digital audio (can carry over two channels) and also Time Code (a sequence of numeric codes generated by a timing synchronized system).
