Companies simplify video entertainment repurposing for professionals and personalize mobile media delivery for consumers with Shoot ‘n’ Share
Nevada City,
Calif., and London, August 31, 2006
- Telestream, the leading provider
of workflow automation products, and
Mobix Interactive, an established
leader in mobile video, will showcase
innovative products for the emerging
mobile marketplace at the International
Broadcasters Convention (IBC) to be
held September 8-12 in Amsterdam.
Targeting content owners, creators,
distributors and consumers, these
products simplify video-over-mobile
delivery, and they extend mobile video
applications to the next level.
"We
are pleased that Mobix Interactive
chose our FlipFactory® Mobile
transcoding workflow automation application
as the key enabler in their core mobile
services offerings and innovative
new Shoot 'n' Share solution for consumers,"
said David Heppe, president of Telestream.
"Our expertise in handling a
wide range of media formats and metadata
schema, combined with Mobix's expertise
in the delivery of video-to-mobile,
puts us at the forefront of emerging
mobile applications such as mobile-to-mobile
video sharing."
Mobix
Interactive produces, encodes and
delivers both video content and original
programming through carrier grade
delivery systems, delivering up to
one million clips each month to consumers.
Telestream's FlipFactory Mobile is
at the heart of Mobix's video workflow.
Functions include automating media
and metadata ingest from multiple
sources, transcoding source media
to mobile and Web video and audio
formats, and delivering and integrating
media to Mobix's delivery platform.
"Our
adaptable and scaleable platform components
ensure we are capable of meeting the
demands of the rapidly evolving video
to mobile market," said Matt
Heiman CEO of Mobix Interactive.
"In addition to the numerous
wireless operators we currently support,
we are also working to leverage our
platform with enhanced, differentiated
services to generate new revenue opportunities."
Mobix
continues to push the mobile delivery
boundaries with their new Shoot 'n'
Share product. This personal mobile
delivery application sits on mobile
phones, enabling users to quickly,
easily, and cost-effectively send
text, photos and video to friends,
family and workmates. Shoot 'n' Share
removes the constraints of operator
networks and file size, as well as
global interoperability barriers.
FlipFactory Mobile is the behind-the-scenes
enabler used to automate the transcoding
of video to numerous file formats.
For the user, the end result is transparent
rendering and delivery of video to
each recipient in a contact group,
regardless of the individual handset
types.
Telestream and Mobix Interactive are demonstrating products and solutions and discussing partnering opportunities at the International Broadcasters Convention in Mobile Zone stand M247. For more information, visit www.telestream.net or www.mobixinteractive.com.
