What is a Media Server? Real-time multi-media applications often need the services of media processing elements. It is true that modern endpoints are capable of media processing. However, the physics of some media processing applications dictate that it is much more efficient for the media processing to occur at a centralized location. By media processing, we mean media mixing, recording and playing media, and interacting with a user in the audio or video domains. The commercial market calls these media processing network elements "media servers.” |
