Cardiff Player Video Hosting

Cardiff Player is a new dedicated streaming-media server available for uploading and hosting video content at Cardiff University. The server is powered by Helix Media Library, a system which batch-encodes different video formats to H.264, which is supported by HTML5. The resulting upload is then assigned with a unique link, which can then be distributed as desired to a range of platforms, for example, Learning Central.
