Abstract

This paper proposes an infrastructure for configuring and managing a digital video distribution service. The service has been conceived for configure, management and video distribution over a digital video network composed of servers interconnected by an IP network. This infrastructure has been tested over the backbone of the Brazilian National Research Network (RNP). Also, the service was designed to distribute video in a way that is independent on the video format and to interact with different types of clients. The proposed infrastructure aims to make the configuration process simpler, faster, more intuitive and consistent, reducing the required effort to keep the digital video distribution service operational.
