Inlet's Spinnaker(TM) family of encoding solutions is uniquely suited for live sports as it provides broadcast-quality streams over the Internet to multiple screens and devices. With its built-in support for adaptive streaming protocols, including IIS Live Smooth Streaming, Spinnaker generates high-quality streams that enhance online viewing of live sports action. For NBC's coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, Spinnaker will provide high-definition (HD) streams in real time at resolutions up to 720p. Spinnaker also will enable Olympic Winter Games fans on NBCOlympics.com to easily switch between multiple events.
"Inlet is proud to help NBC deliver the highest quality live streams of Vancouver Winter Olympics coverage," said Bishop. "Spinnaker, combined with IIS Live Smooth Streaming, will ensure that viewers have access to higher quality video and viewing controls than in the past, helping NBC to improve viewer retention and the time fans spend enjoying Olympic Winter Games coverage online. We look forward to being part of this monumental event."
"NBC's broadcast of the Vancouver Winter Olympics is a great opportunity for a broad audience to experience the type of HD-quality, live, online video that Microsoft and its partners can deliver with technologies like Silverlight and IIS Live Smooth Streaming," said Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of the .NET Developer Platform at Microsoft Corp. "Inlet's encoding solutions are essential to providing viewers with the highest quality IIS Live Smooth Streaming video that will enrich the NBC online experience of the Olympic Winter Games."
"We approach every Olympics with the goal of delivering the best possible viewer experience," said Miller. "With Inlet's Spinnaker, we're able to take a major leap forward with advanced video player controls and the first-ever HD delivery of online Olympic Winter Games video."
Today's online video experience has become much more interactive and personal, with the Internet no longer seen as a smaller screen television, but rather as a unique platform that can provide a richer experience. Spinnaker's support of technologies such as DVR-like capabilities, instant replay, and IIS Smooth Streaming has been instrumental in boosting the quality of experience for end users. With Spinnaker, URLs or captions, such as scores and statistics, can also be inserted directly into the live stream.
