Webcast 2.0: Platform-Independent Streaming with AJAX, Silverlight and Slideflow Navigation

MediaEvent Services is pleased to announce the launch of its new webcast interface with the Leica Scientific Forum.

The interface leverages AJAX technologies to deliver a rich user experience, including a Slideflow control mimicking the popular Cover Flow navigation, across all major browsers.

It uses the recently released Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 platform to stream to Windows, Mac OS X and Internet Explorer 5, 6 und 7, Firefox 1.5 and 2 as well as Safari. That’s webcasting 2.0.

Update: The platform has since been extended to support Flash video as well!

    Michael – yes, we can build or sublicense this for you.
    Kemal – Silverlight support for Linux is in the works!

    Is there Silverlight code resources available that allows us to stream a live webcast and push powerpoint slides at the same time?

    Dino, I just wrote you. We currently have this feature planned. I can’t give an estimate but I will announce this on the blog if and when it happens.

    I have a number of questions about this product. Do you have some documentation I can take a look?

    1. Does it work just with Silverlight? What about Red 5 or Wowza?
    2. Is this an Open Source Product? If not what does it cost?
    3. What is the architecture of this solution? Is it streaming SWF converted from MPEG4 or H.264

    @Sergey -
    Not if it’s Silverlight – seeing as how that is Microsoft’s answer to Flash. They probably have coding specifically to call up the Silverlight architecture.

    But to the Devs – It would be great to know if you are going to release this as you have some of your other products or if there will be a fee.

    And as a spin on Sergey’s question above – are the Silverlight calls so embedded that it could not be adapted to using RAW video [MOV/ MPEG/ h264] or even Flash [SWF/ FLV] ??
