Once you experience the difference you’ll never go back!
- Non-proprietory encoding: Many popular software packages (Riva FLV Encoder, Sorenson Squeeze, etc..) can encode videos into Streamlike™ compatible FLV files. Even more packages let you encode your audios to the MP3 format.
- Simplified publishing: Streamlike™ includes an online publishing tool for file upload and secure code generation.
- Unparelled security: Streamlike™ media cannot be downloaded, cached or played from any location other than the authorized websites.
- Optimal bandwidth usage: Broadcasters won’t pay for materials that would be preloaded but not watched; Streamlike™ protects bandwidth theft by a remote referencing restriction.
- Ability to easily index media for creating chapter lists or associating multimedia contents.
- Extensive reporting: Variety of tools to analyze, in detail, audience usage in real time on a second-by-second basis. The online multimedia interface with graphs shows how many times each second of your program was played.
- Easy customization: Configure the player to suit your graphic environment.
- Low cost servers: Streamlike™ can be installed on traditionnal servers. It does not require any specialized streaming hardware. The total cost of hardware and software is less than other inferior streaming options.
Your audience will thank you for making the switch to Streamlike™.
- Ubiquity: Streamlike™ plays video and audio on any system (PC, Mac, Linux..), through any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) without the need to install additional software. Streamlike™ only needs Flash.
- Optimal viewing experience: Streamlike™ automatically selects the best video for the measured bandwidth with the guarantee that the flow won't stop.
- User friendly: Audio and Video start without "buffering" delay for unmatched ease of browsing through media of any size or duration. It is much faster to reach a particular point in Streamlike™ media than on traditionally streamed media or even offline media (CDs, DVDs…).
- Smart resource management: Streamlike™ sends media at their encoding bit rate while they play: no more, no less. In other words, Streamlike™ only sends what is needed to display the video at the current position in the timeline while other non-streaming methods take up all the available bandwidth and preload as much material as possible regardless of how much will actually be viewed..
