Must-See Celebrity Sports And Entertainment Content Streamed In Aerocast Consumer Trials
Omega Networks, Inc., Bikini.com, Players Network, iNEXTV and bthere.TV Delivered Over Internet via Aerocast to Select Homes
LONG BEACH, Calif., (Streaming Media West Show), June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Aerocast, Inc. a secure streaming media services company backed by Motorola, Inc., Liberty Satellite L.L.C. (a joint venture owned by Liberty Media Corporation and Liberty Satellite & Technology) and Soros Fund Management, announced it will deliver cutting-edge, new media sports and entertainment programming to select broadband subscribers as part of its home consumer trials.
Aerocast's agreements with bthere.TV, Bikini.com, Omega Networks, Players Network, and iNEXTV are the latest in a series of recently announced content deals designed to showcase Aerocast's breakthrough streaming media service, which will pave the way for content providers and broadband operators to securely stream high-quality video over the Internet to home viewers.
San Diego, California-based Aerocast is pioneering the secure delivery of entertainment-quality video on demand to the mass market via broadband Internet. Secure and reliable transmission of copyrighted video over the Internet is made possible through an advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) system now under development by communications leader Motorola Broadband Communications Sector and Aerocast. The Aerocast Video Exchange (AVX), which benefits from true edge placement, combined with Aerocast's intelligent routing system, allows consumers to receive high-resolution video at rates of 300 kbps and above over the Internet with virtually none of the packet loss typical of other streaming media. As part of Aerocast's consumer trial, select customers will be able to access acclaimed content, created strictly for streaming, without the interruption and deadening slow speeds associated with most Internet video.
``Aerocast continues to garner exciting sports and entertainment content available for its national consumer trials,'' said Dario Santana, president of Aerocast. ``Broadband consumers, cable operators and advertisers all stand to benefit from our growing roster of top-rated programs as Aerocast further demonstrates its secure, full-screen streaming video on demand.''
Ampex Unit iNEXTV's ``Zero To 60 With Ted West'' To Be Featured On Autobytel.com, Carsmart.com And Autobytel.ca.
iNEXTV Signs Content Distribution Agreement With Autobytel.com
INTERNET WIRE -- iNEXTV Corporation, the premier producer, aggregator and syndicator of video for the Internet and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampex Corporation (Amex: AXC - news), today announced it has signed a content distribution agreement with Autobytel.com, the global leader in online automotive commerce, to feature iNEXTV's original automotive streaming video series, ZERO TO 60 WITH TED WEST.
iNEXTV's ZERO TO 60 WITH TED WEST is a weekly video car review show where Ted West, award-winning contributor to Road & Track, gets behind the wheel of today's hottest and most sought after cars and puts them to the test on the open road. The market is bursting with exciting cars, and ZERO TO 60 WITH TED WEST will help viewers make all the fine distinctions and right choices.
iNEXTV's automobile programming helps empower consumers to make more informed decisions when researching and purchasing a new automobile, as streaming video provides users with the ability to actually view what they are considering for purchase. Buying an automobile is a very personal matter, and iNEXTV's ZERO TO 60 WITH TED WEST segments describe quantitative data - a car's horsepower, braking or seating capacity - and also more subjective aspects such as its feel and personality.
Viewers receive complete reviews of all the automobiles covered in the segments. Reviews include BMW's X5, Audi's A8 L, Mitsubishi's Eclipse, Volvo's V70, Mercedes-Benz's CL500, Lexus's IS300, and the Nissan Pathfinder SE.
Following on the heels of iNEXTV's recent syndication announcement with CarTrackers.com and MotorCities.com, the agreement with Autobytel.com's websites significantly increases iNEXTV's distribution network and advertising inventory, as the programming will be featured on Autobytel.com, Carsmart.com, and Autobytel.ca. Both companies will share revenue from advertising, generated from sponsorship of the programming.
"Buying a car is a big financial decision, and nothing communicates as effectively as sight, sound and motion," said Peter Boyd, vice president of business development, iNEXTV Corporation. "We believe that our objective video car reviews can enhance the shopping experience for Autobytel.com's customers."
Using iNEXTV's custom player window to serve the video, Autobytel.com Inc. will supply users with co-branded, interactive programming, including iNEXTV's ZERO TO 60 WITH TED WEST. Programming began earlier this week.
All iNEXTV programming is encoded, hosted and streamed via iNEXTV's custom player window streaming and advertising video interface. The player window utilizes Ampex's proprietary video technology, SharpView(TM), which delivers a crystal clear viewing experience while lowering bandwidth costs and offers multi-level advertising and branding opportunities. All of the programming is accessible to users of Microsoft Windows Media Player and Real Networks RealPlayer.
