Easy-to-Use, Innovative Service Turns Viewers Into Contributors to Enhance News Programming
SEATTLE — Oct. 1, 2009 — Streambox, Inc. today announced that its newly launched Streambox® Live™ IP-based video contribution service was honored with a 2009 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award by the editorial staff of TV Technology Europe, at the recent IBC2009 show in Amsterdam. In addition, Streambox Live “caught the eye” of IBC staffers, who featured the product in a special conference session entitled “What Caught My Eye.”
Based on Streambox’s award-winning ACT-L3™ technology, the Streambox® Live™ service enables remote broadcasters and citizen reporters to upload compressed live video streams to broadcast studios through Internet-based Streambox® Live™ Data Centers. The Streambox® Live™ service interoperates seamlessly with Streambox’s industry-leading platform of SD and HD broadcast-quality video encoders and decoders, as well as its complete line of broadcast and distribution servers.
The STAR Award (Superior Technology Award Recipient) is designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the broadcast industry. TV Technology Europe’s editor reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications and their overall contribution to the industry, and then chose Streambox® Live™ as one of 25 winners. For the “What Caught My Eye” designation, the Streambox® Live™ demonstration was captured by a roving IBC film crew and the footage was featured the next day in a presentation shown to conference delegates.
“We believe Streambox® Live™ has tremendous potential to revolutionize news programming by enabling broadcasters to add citizen reporters and ad hoc contributors to the newsgathering team in an easy-to-use and cost-effective manner,” said Bob Hildeman, chairman and CEO of Streambox. “It’s truly an honor to be among only 25 solutions at IBC to receive a STAR Award, and it’s a real validation of Streambox® Live™’s potential in the industry. And the fact that the ‘What Caught My Eye’ team picked up right away on the solution’s value and benefits really shows its instant appeal to broadcasters.”
