University of Washington-Led Expedition Relies on Streambox to Power Live Video Transport from within the Caldera of an Active Volcano 5,000 ft. Underwater
SEATTLE — October 25, 2011 — Streambox, Inc. today announced that the University of Washington-led VISIONS’11 expedition selected Streambox 9300 Encoders, Decoders, and full platform of video transport solutions as research tools to transmit live observations of changes in the seafloor environment following the April 2011 eruption of Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon.
The University of Washington and the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility are turning to Streambox to assist in their search for undersea volcanoes. Using Streambox 9300 system and a remotely operated submarine (ROPOS), the exploration team is sending HD video over their own satellite uplink.

Streambox Live Pro Encoder will make its debut at IBC 2011; this enhanced version of Streambox Live will give users the ability to take advantage of uncapped bandwidth, full D1 resolution, and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). With emerging 4G cellular networks, Streambox Live Pro Encoder will utilize more available bandwidth on cellular networks to send professional quality video. Streambox Live Pro enables broadcasters to enhance breaking news stories with ad hoc broadcasting content supplied by a variety of contributors including video journalists and stringers. At the front end, the cornerstone of this scalable software-based solution is the Streambox Live Pro Encoder, which will be made available for download on laptops and desktops to contributors affiliated with broadcast groups and local television stations. Streambox Live Pro is a scalable service that allows broadcasters to capture video from their town, country, or anywhere around the world.
Streambox today announced two major updates to all hardware and software products within the Streambox acquisition platform of professional video encoders and decoders. The Streambox Platform now showcases advanced HD video scaling and automated NTSC or PAL format selection. These new breakthrough features will enable Streambox users to enhance the quality of their video content, while improving efficiency by streamlining their video transport workflow. Advanced video scaling will give Streambox users the ability to capture video in the field at much lower resolution from an iPhone, iPad 2, or Android device, and automatically transcode the video at the studio end, upscaling to full HD resolution fixed output for high quality broadcast results. NTSC or PAL format selection will enable Streambox users to simplify the format conversion process by automatically outputting the preferred format, bypassing the time-consuming step of transcoding the video with a third party product. Advanced video scaling and NTSC or PAL format selection will be integrated into the entire Streambox acquisition platform.
