| Inlet Introduces Spinnaker 2.0 Inlet Technologies has announced Spinnaker 2.0, a family of streaming appliances that support live, broadcast quality streaming in Flash, VC-1 and Silverlight formats. The Spinnaker family of live encoding solutions enables content providers to reach new audiences using new networks. This professional streaming solution delivers high quality for live media delivery applications such as IPTV, web streaming, PEG, broadband TV, enterprise, education or government video. Spinnaker 2.0 is the first professional streaming appliance that can output Flash, VC-1 and Silverlight streams simultaneously. Support for these formats will allow content providers to reach more than 99% of computer users. This addition helps Spinnaker support live event broadcasts over IP networks to even more viewers. Other Spinnaker enhancements include: - Multi-bit rate support. Users can simultaneously deliver content streams to up to four different devices, such as a set-top box, computer, mobile device and/or other new media device. - New scheduling capabilities. Users can now automate streaming for regularly-scheduled events or remotely schedule streams in advance for one-of-a-kind live events. - New alerts. Spinnaker makes monitoring easier than ever before by alerting users to problems with picture, audio and more. Alerts are clearly indicated on the Spinnaker device itself and can be emailed to mobile, off-site users. Spinnaker delivers the bandwidth performance and unique features necessary to provide a true broadcast experience over any IP network. It is a flexible and scalable solution, supporting resolutions from mobile to web to television. Spinnaker is also optimized for delivery to television as well as a wide array of new media devices. In conjunction with Spinnaker's support of Flash, Inlet has recently partnered with Adobe as an Encoding and Transcoding Partner member of the Flash Media Solution Provider program. Inlet's encoding and transcoding solutions offer support for the new H.264 video and AAC audio capabilities in Adobe Flash Player, as well as established Adobe Flash Player video formats such as the On2 VP6 codec. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
