Stream UK are the video and webcast providers behind the Red Bull Bedroom Jam series.
Redbull Bedroom Jam is a once in a lifetime opportunity for new bands seeking their “big break”. Bands upload videos of their gigs, have fans watch and rate them on the site, and then potentially get selected to play at a Red Bull Bedroom Jam session. The Redbull Bedroom Jam begins today and runs for 10 weeks.
Stream UK is proud to not only host the content on our VMS system in conjunction with Xtaster, but we also film the live gigs and manage all of the live streaming.

Over the past few weeks Stream UK has been conducting a Customer Satisfaction Survey as part of our Gold partnership with Microsoft.
The survey allows us to understand and act on customer satisfaction and loyalty information and remain competitive in our industry. In this quarter’s survey we also added custom questions to gather feedback on our core products.
27 of our clients participated in the survey and we were pleased with our results. Feedback included: “I can’t think how they can improve their services. I have been using Stream UK for about 4 years now on various projects and they have always been professional and never let me down.” James Howell, Kingshurst and “Overall Gadi and his team have been excellent…” Chris Catling, Delta Tre
All of our clients that participated went into the draw to win a bottle of champagne and the winner is Jonathan Birch from ecancermedicalscience
Thank you to all our clients who took the time to participate in the survey.

YouTube; one of the most recognisable brands for uploading and sharing of streaming video content is about to be given a run for its money. YouTube users now have a very good reason to defect to Stream UK and it is called Video Management System (VMS) 2.1. Below is what you are currently missing with YouTube.
Support for video formats
Stream UK’s VMS 2.1 accepts most popular and audio file formats including: WMV, MPG, MOV, FLV, AVI MP3, WAV, AIFF. YouTube only lets you upload videos in standard formats (Windows AVI, MOV or MPEG) and then transcodes them all to Flash which degrades the quality. With Stream UK’s VMS 2.1, users can also watch videos in the original, uploaded format, ensuring the quality of the video.
Limitations on Video File Sizes
Stream UK’s VMS 2.1 has no limitation on file size nor video length, so you can stop worrying about YouTube’s 10 minute or 1000 MB restriction on file sizes. No more chopping up video clips and uploading sepearate segments. The Stream UK player and delivery networks are designed to deliver long files as smoothly as short files unlike YouTube.
Detailed Site Statistics
Stream UK’s VMS 2.1 statistics package provides information on files, visitors, user agents, referrer and protocol status. All assets will be displayed in file information which you can order by date ranges or media type (i.e. Flash). You can also search assets by title using the search function. You can view the hits, bandwidth and storage for each file which is displayed both numerically and visually.
Details include the user’s geographic location (countries, cities and IPs), agent information or referrer data. File protocol-rtmp or http and status, which displays if the content was served correctly (code 200) means successful and code 404 means the page was not found).
YouTube statistics are extremely limited showing only current rating, how many times the videos were played and which sites are linking or sending viewers to your video which leaves you wondering who is looking at your content and how people are using it.
Video Quality
Videos uploaded on YouTube are automatically compressed and resized to the 320×24 format. Stream UK’s VMS 2.1 maintains the original quality of the video and does not resize your video clips. Your quality control decisions remain in place.
