Wowza Demonstrates Latest Unified Media Streaming Innovations at CableLabs Winter Conference

Posted by Derrick on February 9, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Wowza Media Systems, the media server company,  demonstrated its unified media server, Wowza Media Server 2, at the CableLabs Winter Conference 2010 February 7-9th in Denver, Colorado.

Wowza was chosen to be among a group of companies that were present to demonstrate at the CableLabs Innovation Showcase during the conference. The showcase featured 12 companies, a combination of established and venture capital-stage companies, who presented and demonstrated cutting edge broadband technologies for the audience of predominantly cable technology executives.

Wowza’s demonstration highlighted how cable providers can cost-effectively deploy client agnostic WebTV and MobileTV infrastructures that encompass multiple player and device platforms, including Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight smooth streaming, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, and IPTV set-top boxes.

Wowza Media Server 2 is the first platform that allows streaming from one H.264 encode simultaneously to multiple players and devices. As a result, cable providers and other organizations serious about delivering video can slash capital and operational costs. By enabling simultaneous streaming to multiple clients from a single standard H.264 live encoder or file, Wowza Media Server 2 eliminates the need for separate client-specific encoders and media servers.

Wowza Media Server 2 is the only software on the market to natively implement concurrent streaming support for Adobe RTMP protocol suite, Apple HTTP Streaming, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, RTSP/RTP delivery for Apple QuickTime, mobile and other clients as well as MPEG-TS for IPTV set-top delivery.
