Move Networks and PermissionTV in Link to Bring "Adaptive Streaming" to Smaller Publishers
[Note: This blog post is an article that Andy Plesser wrote for Beet.TV on Wednesday, Nov 19th.]
Move Networks, the small Utah-based company which has created an impressive high quality, low bandwidth solution to streaming video for ABC, FOX, the and others, will now provide its technology to much smaller publishers through an association with Boston-based PermissionTV.
Move's streaming technology is not Flash or Microsoft based, it is a technology it calls "adaptive streaming" -- a process which breaks up and sends along small packets which are assembed by the user depending on local bandwidth. In July I interviewed Move CEO John Edwards who explains how the technology works. It involves a small web plug-in.
PermissionTV is a software for service company which provides ways for companies to integrate video in various Web applications. It has primarily implemented Flash solutions. In October, the curtains went up on Permission and Move's implementation of streaming of on-demand performances by the Metropolitan Opera, available through a subscription service. Some operas are free for viewing.
Permission also collaborates with Move on Fox programming.
Yesterday, I interviewed PermissionTV's Matt Kaplan for an overview on the company and the new association with Move, which is essentially a reseller agreement.
