Abstract
With the fast development of technology and the increasing popularity of Internet in recent years, multitudes are becoming highly demanding for the multimedia services. Many researches on multimedia applications are studied the entire academic and business fields; however, we found many video platforms are still lack of some important functionality. Firstly, they do not support broadcast live streaming. Some videos are better seen as live broadcasting such as New Year countdown, election news, and political speeches. Therefore, whether the video platform can provide live videos or not, it will be able to attract more users in this business. Secondly, the administrator should have program schedule functionality such as TV. Lately, the multiple synchronized streaming may be required. For example, we would like to show professors’ lecture and the details of slides at the same time, and it will need two synchronous streaming. In this thesis, we implement a VOD system that has functionality of what are mentioned above and the system has high scalability to satisfy more and more users and businessmen. On one hand, due to promotion of bandwidth in LAN, VOD system launches the high quality multimedia streaming service. On the other hand, the bandwidth is not unlimited, so we proposed the issues to be considered as well. We apply encoding technology to compress multimedia file to reduce bandwidth. Hence, users can more quickly download the file rather than waste too much time waiting.
