The Oracle Video Server System Architecture

Getting Started with Oracle Video Server Manager

The client tier resides completely on the client machine(s) and consists of the 
following components:

■

The Oracle Video Server Manager console is a 

Java application that gives you point-and-click control over OVS services, 
clients, and content.

■

 The Oracle Video Client software enables you to develop 

interactive, video-based multimedia applications for such uses as computer-
based training, interactive kiosks, corporate repositories, and Web sites. The 
Oracle Video Client software provides several tools to help you build and view 
client video applications. For more information about the Oracle Video Client, 
refer to the Oracle Video Client Developer’s Guide.

The Application Server tier consists of the following components:

■

The Oracle Video Server is an end-to-end software 

solution for networked client-server computers which store, manage, deliver, 
and display digital video on demand. The Oracle Video Server is supported on 
a variety of server platforms and scales to many users.

■

A cartridge is a manageable object that “plugs 

into” and extends the functionality of another piece of software. Cartridges use 
an IDL (Interface Definition Language), a language-neutral interface, that 
allows the cartridge to identify itself to other objects in a distributed system.

Any customer or vendor can write a cartridge or service that plugs into the Ora-
cle Video Server system. For example, a real-time encoding vendor might write 
an encoder cartridge that integrates with the Oracle Video Server, as shown in 

.

The Data Server machine contains the target service(s) which the client needs to 
access to get application-specific data. In the Oracle Video Server system 
environment, the Server tier consists of the Oracle database (optional). A database 
is a set of dictionary tables and user tables that are treated as a unit. The OVS 
system can use the Oracle database to write and query database tables associated 
with OVS processes, including logical content, clips, and broadcast programs.
