Real Image Media Technologies deploys RaptorQ forward error correction software to enhance an advertising revenue service, reduce operating and capital expenses, and achieve network economies-of-scale as their business grows.
Ads are a key contributor to the bottom line. We could not operate our ad network without the tight integration of RaptorQ with our ad service.

Solution Highlights
Accurate and timely delivery of advertisements is critical for the bottom line Less satellite network transmission costs spread over more sites means greater economies-of-scale No additional hardware costs software runs on playback servers already deployed without disrupting playback
distribute new ads within an hour of receipt and at any time of the day. Ads are a key contributor to the bottom line. We could not operate our ad network without the tight integration of RaptorQ with our ad service said Real Image co-founder Senthil Kumar
protocol (FTP) solution. The solution worked, however Real Image soon discovered that the system could not scale as efficiently as needed. Retransmission costs due to network packet loss were a significant obstacle. The VSAT satellite network averages 5% packet loss and up to 10% in bad weather conditions. Resending the lost packets resulted in an exponential use of bandwidth. All RaptorQ error correction symbols are equal (a property of a fountain code), allowing economies-of-scale as more receivers are added. The RaptorQenabled system will save us money in reduced network costs by reducing the need for retransmission as the network grows, said Kumar.

SUMMARY RaptorQ enables QubeCast to meet the heavy demands of HD video distribution
Incorporating RaptorQ in its QubeCast media transmission system has enabled Real Image to produce a high quality product that meets the heavy demands of HD video distribution. Working with partners, Real Image now plans to license QubeCast to hundreds of external theatres. Key to QubeCasts quality is RaptorQ FEC technology, which provides application-layer protection against network packet loss, over all wired and wireless networks, including satellite and terrestrial networks. The RaptorQ encoder and decoder libraries allow file delivery and streaming services to recover data lost in transit and reconstruct it, without using a backchannel.
