Telestream, Virage announce streaming media alliance
As part of the alliance, Telestream is joining the Virage Developer Program and will integrate support for the Virage Internet Video Application Platform and Virage-enabled video into its FlipFactory multi-format publishing software, and Virage will promote FlipFactory as a plug-in streaming media encoding solution for its platform.
FlipFactory, working in conjunction with the Virage VideoLogger, automates the process of simultaneously encoding a single source file into multiple streaming formats and bit rates and delivering resulting files with associated metadata such as closed caption text to streaming servers.
The Virage SmartEncode process, managed by VideoLogger, extracts closed caption text and organizes video content for instant search and retrieval by the Virage Video Application Server. The integrated platform is designed to simplify the task of encoding, logging and ultimately accessing large amounts of streaming content.
"Telestream's integration of its enterprise-class FlipFactory multi-format streaming media encoding and delivery software with the Virage platform extends to users a powerful streaming media publishing solution," said Carlos Montalvo, Chief Marketing Officer at Virage. "This partnership combines the best of both technologies to help entertainment, business, education and government users easily unleash the power of Internet video communication."
