StreamAware Releases Flagship Webcast Assurance Tool

September 08, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
New York, NY – StreamAware LLC, a new entrant into the webcast quality assurance space, has announced the release of its flagship StreamAware application.

StreamAware is a streaming media diagnostic solution that provides webcast producers with the ability to run simultaneous network diagnostic tests that gauge the feasibility of streaming a live webcast without the need for an on-site network engineer or CDN representative.

StreamAware enables a new level of awareness when it comes to determining if a live video stream can be successfully routed over the Internet from the point of production – where an event is being shot – to the point of distribution or ingress – most often a CDN or other media server.

StreamAware empowers webcast producers to test multiple combinations of codec, bitrate, and CDN or other media server through a single easy-to-use interface in order to ensure their webcasts have the best chance of reaching their audience with a high quality stream.

Essentially what StreamAware offers is peace of mind that a webcast event has the best chance of delivering a high quality experience. “With webcasts increasingly being streamed from remote locations and in multiple codecs, it’s become ever more important for webcast producers to be able to gauge the conditions for streaming,” says Bijan Monassebian, SVP and Chairman of the Board of Directors for StreamAware. “StreamAware allows webcast producers to forecast the viability to stream from any given location in minutes. It can be used both prior to and during a live event. The operation and setup is extremely easy. We liken it to having a network technician onsite to help diagnose potential issues when they arise.”

During any webcast’s setup, StreamAware can and should be run in order to help determine an appropriate service level agreement. The StreamAware application can also be executed during a live event without disconnecting the stream, providing an enhanced ability to identify and resolve problems that may arise during a webcast.
