Haivision

Haivision Systems Inc., commonly known as Haivision, is a Canadian technology company that designs and markets video streaming and distribution solutions for enterprise, broadcast, education, and government markets. The company produces hardware encoders and decoders, streaming appliances, and software platforms for live and on-demand video delivery over networks with variable bandwidth.
