Stream UK continue to lead with way with new streaming technologies. Last week marked the UK launch of the trailer for Universal’s upcoming release ‘9’. The forthcoming full length animation feature film by Tim Burton is set to take the visual experience to a new level, and the online trailer needed to live up to this. Using Microsoft’s new Silverlight Player, and the power of smooth streaming, Stream UK provided encoding, hosting, and delivery services to make this happen – allowing web users to get a real taste of the stunning animation with a HD streaming experience.
This is the first time a major film studio has used Silverlight as a key part of a social media campaign, and looks set to be the way forward. It allows content owners and distributers to benefit from the reliability and usability of Microsoft technology combined with a viewing experience akin to the cinema.
Stream UK’s online video management system is now the first to offer smooth streaming - maintaining the company’s position as a leading provider of innovative streaming solutions. With web users spending more time than ever watching online video content, it has become a key business area for businesses of all shapes and size. Our product allows the user to get content online quickly, with its value retained in formats that can be seen by billions and delivered on a network that can cope with global demand.
Stream UK’s VMS system is used by a range of clients, from global corporations to leading digital agencies and niche content providers. Current users include BBC News, Ideal TV, The British Council, and Grey London.
