Run-Time Capability

At run time, OVC software runs on the client device and:
Specialized third-party software or hardware decoders decompress video data.
OVC software applications can receive and display video content using Microsoft's
ActiveMovie framework and ActiveMovie-compliant decoders. The decoder
requires smooth, reliable video delivery and the network may sometimes deliver
packets late or out of order. OVC software ensures proper decoder operation by re-
ordering packets properly and buffering a small amount of data so the decoder is
consistently provided with ordered video data.
OVC software can dynamically connect to and disconnect from different instances
of the OVS without stopping and restarting.
