Jump to: navigation, search

BEAM, from IVS, makes recording and managing mobile video content easier than ever. Our application gives users an easy way to capture and live stream events on the go as they happen. The BEAM application fully integrates with our flagship VALT software providing the users with a secure, scalable mobile video management solution. BEAM allows users to leverage iPads and iPhones as mobile video endpoints while VALT can manage IP cameras and encoders as fixed video endpoints.
