August 17, 2010 in Online Video News, Streaming Technology with 2 Comments

Flumotion Smart Live Transcoding has been nominated at this year’s Streaming Media European Readers’ Choice Awards in the Transcoding Solution category.

Flumotion Smart Live Transcoding is a scalable service for the multi-format delivery of live content, eliminating the need to upload and encode multiple signals for multi-format delivery. In order to save unnecessary bandwidth costs, Flumotion Live Decoder only requires one source signal, which can be encoded in-house by the client themselves (Shoutcast, Flash Media Encoder and Windows Media Encoder) or by using the Flumotion Encoder. This ground breaking service uses little bandwidth and drastically reduces the encoding flow by decoding an already encoded signal and re-encoding it into multiple formats for delivery to multiple devices including PCs and iPhone. Included in the service is a dedicated technical team monitoring infrastructure performance to ensure optimal delivery with no downtime. Continue Reading…
