San Jose, CA -- Streaming21, the world leader in broadcast-quality
streaming solutions, today announced its award-winning
media-on-demand solution, Media Server 6.0, which provides a full
suite of functionality for delivering carrier-class streaming
services over IP networks. The new platform adds many
industry-leading features that support H.264 and IPv6 video
streaming with highly scaleable video delivery.
Streaming21's new revolutionary H.264 feature enables perfect
delivery of MPEG-4 compressed video at much lower bit rates than
standard MPEG-2. The groundbreaking technology cuts in half the
bandwidth required to deliver broadcast-quality video streams for
VOD (video on demand) and HDTV (high-definition television). It also
delivers significant advancements in video compression and coding
efficiency, making it much more efficient and cost effective to
deliver optimal video quality over IP networks. The new enhancements
support both SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition).
