Kulabyte Delivers Live High Quality Internet TV With Broadcasters Around the World

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 00:00 CDT

Since the debut of their XStream Live products to millions of viewers worldwide on March 10th for "Operation MySpace," MySpace's live concert webcast from Kuwait, Kulabyte has been busy delivering the highest quality, full frame rate streaming video solutions to other major networks and broadcasters. In addition to MySpace, event producers and projects that have adopted Kulabyte's XStream Live encoding solutions include: ITV's "Formula One" racing coverage in Europe, Camcast's live extreme sports events weekly in Europe and TV Worldwide's live national event and technology conference webcasts.

"Using Kulabyte's XPress Live encoder on dual-core laptops gives us a powerful, highly mobile, encoding solution for quality live Flash video delivered without the need for significantly higher bit rates required by the other encoding solutions. Kulabyte's cross-platform compatible stream can be accessed through corporate firewalls and the quality difference is easy to see," remarked Kevin Shively, Executive Vice-President of TV Worldwide.

"Since the release of our XStream Live product series, we have seen an overwhelming amount of interest from both traditional and new media customers," said Chris Gottschalk, Co-founder and CTO of Kulabyte. "We have requests coming in from many of the major networks and live content distributors for our high quality solutions. This is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come in the live Internet TV market."

Kulabyte recently launched its XPress Live product line for High quality SD in conjunction with its recent partnership with leading Internet TV platform Mogulus. Complimenting its XStream Live HD products, Kulabyte's XPress products address the live SD encoding needs of media companies and small businesses that are not ready to make the move to HD webcasts. This week at Streaming Media East in New York, Kulabyte will be showing its XPress Live products in partnership with Mogulus TV other live encoding applications. Kulabyte's expanded product offering also includes a turnkey "live event" encoding service for production companies and live content producers to meet the growing demand for live Internet TV. Turnkey event services can be contracted for as little as one day and will be available in North America starting June 1.

"Our customers have been asking for an event package for some time. We have expanded our offerings and are now ready to help them deliver to everyone with a broadband connection live Internet TV events in high quality up to HD resolutions," said Robin Rush, CEO. "Our products speak for themselves, just ask our viewers. We have been working diligently with our top technology partners and content distribution networks on this live experience."
