Haivision... @ Streaming Media Europe 2012 With... (SatBroadcasting™—Encoder/Transcoder)


[SatNews] Haivision will demo the company's range of Internet streaming and enterprise IP video distribution solutions...

...that deliver rich media to global audiences. Making their debut at Streaming Media Europe are the KulaByte4.0 live H.264 encoder/transcoder for Linux® and HyperStream™, Haivision's Internet media delivery service, which brings together the power of cloud-based transcoding on the Amazon EC2™, and easy connectivity to Akamai® SOLA Media Solutions for global delivery, security, and analytics.

KulaByte™ 4.0—Haivision's software-based, Internet encoder/transcoder for adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming is now available on Linux®, bringing a 30 percent performance improvement, a new user interface, and cost reductions when deployed in cloud computing environments such as Amazon's EC2™. KulaByte™ 4.0 uniquely matches exceptional HD quality with transport technologies designed to maximize streams delivered to the Internet. These technologies include constant bit rate (CBR) and Dynamic Stream Shaping™ (DSS), assuring optimal and dynamic usage of available uplink bandwidth.

HyperStream™ Live—Haivision's global streaming platform automates the power of KulaByte™ cloud transcoding and CDN connectivity so that content providers can easily deliver media to global audiences with a simplified process by moving workflows to the cloud.

Additionally, a session entitled Beyond the Media Firewall: Bridging the Gap between Enterprise and Internet Media will be presented on Wednesday, October 17th from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. by Chris Gottschalk, director of technology, Haivision. Video conferencing, distance learning, and telepresence systems have long been deployed on private networks, connecting corporate or university conference rooms or lecture halls. Now, thanks to new transcoding technology, these video sources can easily be repurposed for streaming to a worldwide Internet audience. This session will discuss technical and strategic concerns surrounding bridging the two types of systems to maximize the value of content for increased communications and collaboration within an organization.
