Raystream Announces Live Streaming HD Video Compression Technology
HD Video Compressed in Real Time Before Distribution
DALLAS, Nov 07, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Raystream Inc. RAYS +3.85% , an emerging global provider of HD video services, today announced its new live streaming solution that enables real-time compression for distribution of live broadcast HD videos.
"We are pleased to announce this first-of-a-kind, real-time HD video compression streaming software, which enables HD video to be compressed as it is generated, prior to streaming over the Internet," said Brian Petersen, Raystream's CEO. "Raystream's business customers can now seamlessly incorporate our real-time video compression technology into their existing video streaming processes, significantly reducing the bandwidth needed to stream live events."
The new live streaming solution is applicable to any event, such as live webinars, web-based shareholder meetings, concerts, and satellite broadcast sports and news. Bandwidth requirements and costs are drastically reduced, with no decrease in the quality or clarity of the video.
"Our live HD video streaming solution offers more efficient, less expensive delivery of live streamed video. For any application, we are creating the opportunity to produce a high-quality broadcast from a handheld HD camera, while it's 'on the air.' Using only satellite or even a GSM 3G connection, users can broadcast full HD video right from the frontline of a battlefield, for example. Now, any reporter can broadcast live in HD quality directly from wherever the action is taking place. The possibilities are practically limitless, and will enrich the end-user video experience dramatically," continued Petersen. "We are bringing an end to the problems caused by limited bandwidth, enabling businesses to greatly expand their market reach, while vastly enhancing viewer satisfaction."
