About Qview

Qview was born out of a necessity to provide remote communities a cost-effective media-streaming platform to distribute their content without losing copyright control and ownership.

The first version of Qview is a media-streaming platform hosted at the Qiniq Data Center in Ottawa providing southerners with access to northern content and providing northerners with culturally relevant content optimized for constrained satellite backbones.

As Qview develops with additional partnerships, our intent is to deploy local Qview servers in every community so that locally created content does not have to go over the backbone and can be distributed much more cost-effectively. Furthermore, Qview will be a media outlet where content creators can use web-based tools that we are also developing (such as Qme, an upcoming video conferencing platform) to distribute their content to other Nunavummiut.

Our first partner, the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, was a catalyst that prompted us to finalize Qview for public use. We see lots of opportunities for local, governmental, and Inuit organizations who want to create uniquely Northern content and reach out to wider audiences.

Using the Internet to help Arctic dogs - one 'byte' at a time

Description: Lay Vaccinator Page Burt provides vaccinations against rabies and parvovirus/distemper for the many sled dogs and family pets living in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. While professional veterinarians from Winnipeg fly in at least once a year to provide diagnostic services as well as spay and neuter surgery. Throughout the year, animals sometimes need access to emergency care. When an animal needs help, people bring them to Page, who communicates with Tuxedo Animal Hospital in Winnipeg using the QINIQ network to exchange video, photos and information for guidance in helping animals in need. Video sponsored by SSi Canada (https://www.ssicanada.com) operators of the QINIQ (https://www.qiniq.com) broadband network in Nunavut. Thanks to Page Burt and John Hickes of Rankin Inlet and Dr. Jonas Watson, a Veterinarian from Winnipeg’s Tuxedo Animal Hospital (http://tuxedoanimalhospital.com) for their help in making this video. A Rankin Inlet volunteer group is raising funds toward an x-ray machine for use in Rankin on animals. Contact Page at 867-645-2650, or outcropltd@qiniq.com, for information. Videographer Ivan Hughes, Compass Digital Media (http://www.compassdigital.ca). Producer Lorraine Thomas, Imaituk Inc. (http://www.imaituk.ca).
