When delivering content, the more formats they are available in, the better. Versatility is the key to reaching all users, platforms and devices, and this is one of the priority development lines at Flumotion. We have recently advanced our Flumotion Streaming Platform by implementing Silverlight and MP4 formats. Check out below, the benefits of using these formats in our Platform.
MP4, a very adaptable format
Some people think MP4 could be a standard in the streaming media industry. In fact, it is on its way to achieving that:
- Compliant with popular players such as Flash, Quicktime and Silverlight
- MP4 streams are also available on iPhone and Android
- Compatible with the high-compression codecs H.264and AAC
- End users can access any point in a video at any time
The future with Silverlight
Silverlight is the technology driven by Microsoft for video playout to compete with Adobe’s Flash Player. From what we can see, they have worked hard:
- It provides the ability to adapt the quality of media to the end-user connection with Smooth Streaming technology
- Enables creation of highly visual end-user experiences on the web
