iStreamPlanet Enables Fans to View Live Events in Brand New Way as Company Continues Impressive Growth
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- iStreamPlanet, a provider of digital
media strategy, services and software applications, today announced several
achievements underscoring the company's impressive momentum. iStreamPlanet is
providing the technology behind live streaming video webcasts of some of the
nation's most popular music festivals seen on AT&T blue room
(http://www.attblueroom.com). In addition to adding a new executive to an
already impressive roster of top digital media experts, iStreamPlanet has just
moved into a state-of-the-art facility that enables HD and SD acquisition and
web delivery.
"I am thrilled by iStreamPlanet's continued growth in the digital media
industry," said Mio Babic, founder and CEO of iStreamPlanet. "When companies
choose to work with us, they not only get a trusted partner, but one that will
continue to innovate as the industry grows. Live events are a complicated
animal to webcast; they require knowledge across the entire digital media
landscape -- of multiple transport and video platforms, of CDN, of multiple
encoding systems, and of the managed customer and end-user experience. They
require the type of expertise at which iStreamPlanet excels."
Earlier this summer, iStreamPlanet provided the technology behind AT&T
blue room's live webcasts of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival
(http://www.bonnaroo.com), the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival
(http://www.coachella.com), the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented
by Shell (http://www.nojazzfest.com), the inaugural Mile High Music Festival
Powered by SanDisk (http://www.milehighmusicfestival.com) inDenver, andSan
Francisco's first Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival
(http://www.sfoutsidelands.com). Later this month, iStreamPlanet will provide
onsite and offsite webcast management at the Austin City Limits Music Festival
(http://www.aclfestival.com) and enable remote audiences to view select live
performances from the festival's eight stages on the blue room.
iStreamPlanet is also enjoying impressive success with the Fortune 1000.
For example, iStreamPlanet delivers managed webcasting services for corporate
events such as Microsoft's World Partners Conference (WPC) and Microsoft
TechEd. Mio Babic was also a featured speaker at WPC and Microsoft Global
Experience (MGX) conferences earlier this summer, discussing new content
strategies and iStreamPlanet's use of Microsoft(R) Silverlight(TM), a
cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next-generation of
rich interactive applications for the Web.
To better support its customers' needs, iStreamPlanet has moved to a new
corporate headquarters inLas Vegas, Nevada, featuring a state-of-the-art, 100
percent digital webcast operations center. Thanks to the new facility, the
iStreamPlanet team is not only capable of acquiring live event content via
multiple C/KU-band satellites or Vyvx video fiber sources in both HD and SD,
but also supports encoding content in HD and SD for web delivery.
iStreamPlanet is also expanding its team of digital media experts for
managed webcasting services. In his role as director of solutions engineering,
David Morel will work alongside Mat Rosa, director of research and
development, to deliver on the technical vision of the company. Mr. Morel has
an extensive history in web-enabled applications, having worked most recently
at Limelight Networks, where he ran the solutions engineering division for the
North American region. Mr. Morel brings over 14 years of experience in both
the enterprise and public sectors, including IBM, Xerox, and the State
University of New York. Mr. Morel will manage the daily solutions operations
