VP8 Video From Anystream Avalon and Agility 2G
Dulles, VA(18 May 2010)
Anystream, a leading provider of automated multi-platform media publishing solutions, today announced that Agility 2G and Avalon products will produce VP8 video in support of the WebM initiative.
"A key factor in the web's success is that its core technologies are open and freely implementable. Video is fundamental to the web experience, and developers and content publishers need an open video format option," said Mike Jazayeri, Group Product Manager at Google. "We are excited Grab Networks is joining a broad coalition of industry leaders supporting the WebM project to bring a new era of open innovation in web video."
"Avalon with VP8 automates media packaging for on-line distribution to YouTube," said Jim Duval, Director of Product Management at Anystream. "Avalon eliminates the complexity of manually assembling and validating media, metadata, graphics and other media elements that are required by YouTube and other digital media distribution outlets."
Agility 2G automates and streamlines content production and delivery for television, web and mobile media applications. In a single workflow, Avalon assembles and validates commercial metadata that is seen in the promotions and displays on video portals, electronic storefronts and electronic program guides. Avalon also converts media into the specified formats and packages the content with the metadata into media products that conform to all of the delivery requirements.
Shipment of Agility 2G with VP8 will begin in the second half of 2010.
