About
Haivision was founded in 2004. Haivision’s early technology created high performance video encoders that made it possible to transmit extremely low-latency video over all types of networks.
In 2009, Haivision acquired Video Furnace, allowing the company to expand its product offerings to include campus (LAN) based, secure IPTV and VOD services. Haivision purchased CoolSign in 2010, which provides highly scalable digital signage. The ability to encode and transcode technologies for OTT (over-the-top) media distribution resulted from Haivision's acquisition of Kulabyte Corporation in 2011. Haivision products include encoders, DVB-IP Gateways, Transcoders, IPTV, Digital Signage, Decoders/Players, and Internet Streaming.
Markets
Haivision focuses in the areas of enterprise video, broadcast video workflow applications, sports & entertainment, house of worship, defense/government, education and healthcare.
The London Olympics 2012 Games were streamed live using Haivision Kulabyte. The Masters, MTV Movie Awards, major universities and other organization stream video using Haivision technology. Today more than 20,000 Haivision systems are in use worldwide.
Haivision Video Cloud
