DigiMeld Launches New Grid Streaming Solutions
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
DigiMeld, a provider of software solutions for streaming and live
Internet broadcasting, announced that it will deliver a new service
that will enable content providers to create unlimited video channels
and more efficiently stream video, including HD video, over the
Internet while conserving bandwidth and minimizing costs.
According to the company, DigiMeld's intelligent grid-streaming
solution has been successfully tested with NASA Television in a range
of live Internet broadcast trials, including a simultaneous broadcast
of a shuttle launch, with no down time and more than 100,000 live,
high-quality concurrent video streams.
DigiMeld also announced that it has completed a $2 million Series A
round of financing from angel investors that include industry veterans.
Developed by noted technology entrepreneur Alex Mashinsky, a founder of
Arbinet-thexchange, DigiMeld leverages a patent-pending software
architecture that enables intelligent distribution of content among a
network of Internet video viewers. DigiMeld will market the solution to
network providers, content delivery network (CDN) firms, and a wide
range of video content-holders, including broadcasters, user-generated
content (UGC) sites, and business enterprise customers, the company
said.
"We are providing tools that will enable anyone to launch their own
video channel and ensure that the web video revolution continues to
expand. Our previous work at Arbinet, which created the industry's
largest exchange, has enabled us to see the problems inherent in video
delivery over the public Internet, and we are responding with a grid
streaming solution that delivers video using available bandwidth from
ISPs, efficiently and cost-effectively," said Mashinsky. "With our
intelligent grid streaming solution, we can provide greater cost
efficiencies, a superior user experience which is not available to the
mid-size content providers, and an improved network load balance beyond
what traditional CDNs currently offer."
Through the use of the OptimizedIP services of Arbinet, an electronic
marketplace for communications trading with more than 1,100 connected
carriers, DigiMeld sends its traffic via the best performing major Tier
1 ISP at any given time to further enhance viewer experience. Unlike
traditional CDNs such as Aramaic and Limelight, DigiMeld's platform
dynamically and periodically selects the optimal network to deliver the
traffic, the company said.
"The CDN industry is based on an architecture that is inflexible and
does not optimize the bandwidth constraints of any IP network. DigiMeld
is designed for today's Internet video bottleneck," said Mark Kirstein,
president of Multimedia Intelligence. "The value of using a
cost-effective solution for video is of great urgency to the industry
overall, as new channels are added everyday and major content-holders
seek to push more of their content downstream to web users."
