Stream57 Set To Launch Groundbreaking Multi-Video Webcasting Technology

NEW YORK, NY — Stream57, the leading provider of fully customizable webcasting and streaming rich media communications, has announced yet another new feature to be added to its boundary-pushing Flash-based webcasting software suite StreamLine that will give administrative users the ability to control a multi-video interface with simply the click of a button. The latest development-forward feature of this highly acclaimed streaming media platform adds a new level of usability and interactivity to Stream57’s industry-leading virtual presentation software.

The introduction of multi-video capabilities is the first step in truly limitless virtual events, as speakers and key opinion leaders can be located at any broadband-equipped locations around the world, and appear seamlessly, without any interruption or lag in stream. A live panel can join together from around the world, bringing ideas and opinions to an audience as a united group, without even being in the same hemisphere.

"I’ve been looking forward to this feature, and I can proudly say we nailed it," Ben Chodor, President of Stream57 said. "Offering a truly revolutionary capability like multi-video affirms our position as the ultimate custom-development webcasting company. Anticipating and preempting the demands of the industry as a whole is just one of the reasons why Stream57 is driving the future of streaming media."

"I think the work we’ve done on multi-video support really is groundbreaking," Stream57 VP of Development and Chief Architect Jim Phelan added. "Previously, you’d have the traditional web conferencing approach of a Brady Bunch array of talking heads or you’d have to use physical switching hardware and satellite or fiber video signals. Now we have the ability to switch video completely within a web based application, with the same high quality production value you’d expect in any Stream57 webcast. Pair up your primary studio in New York with an insert studio in London or switch from your CEO’s webcam to your CFO’s — it’s really that simple."

Multi-video support, to be officially released with the launch of the StreamLine 2.9 webcasting software platform, will be rolled out through select presentations in the coming weeks. Look for upcoming demonstrations, examples and many multi-video webcasts in the coming weeks.
