The Lake Washington School District needed an alternative way to deliver digital video feeds to classrooms as their existing RF infrastructure was failing. They implemented the SAFARI Montage system with selective video streaming and digital encoders to deliver video over the district's high-speed network. This allowed centralized distribution of live streams and on-demand content to classrooms without the need for expensive updates to the RF system or individual set-top boxes in each room. Encoding devices were used to convert analog sources into digital streams for distribution.

1. Presented by Steve Lewey –Lake Washington School District 414

3. Did not want to provide a set-top unit in each classroom based on traditional RF infrastructure

4. Did not want to support and maintain their present RF coax wiring

6. Provided the school with the ability to do school news not only in their school but across the district

7. Provided the ability of one central location head-end for cable DTV across the whole district

9. Coax was not designed to interface to our classroom model

10. Traditional RF system did not support HD cable channels

11. Finding support that understands RF design became a big problem

12. Cable head-end at each building were expensive and hard to supportSOLUTION SAFARI Montage with Selective Video Streaming and Digital Encoders

17. Video Cameras

18. Internet VideoTeachers can easily access live video, allowing students to see historic moments as they happen.

19. Assign Streams to Schools Assign video streams to groups of schools or individual schools

20. Live Streams Allows administrators to provide a centralized directory of URLs for Live Streams. Once entered, the URLs are available for viewing by SAFARI Montage users.
