Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. Announces Roll Out of Clipstream® Fall Release
VANCOUVER, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Destiny Media Technologies (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQX: DSNY), the makers of Play MPE®, a system for the secure distribution of pre-release music to radio and the developer of Clipstream®, a cross-platform instant play video streaming format, today announced that it has successfully completed roll out of its fall release.
This version consists of updates to the Clipstream® engine, new features and back-end improvements for the cloud product, the introduction of technology for the advertising industry, and a new player API allowing third parties to build Clipstream® into their own offerings. An encoding API to further advance third party integration is in development.
"We are very excited about the new fall release of Clipstream® as it further improves on our summer release, which was a major milestone for the company and introduced cloud-based encoding into the technology," said Darren Martz, Director of Software Development. "As we focus on increasing volume from advertisers and market research, we plan to continue to innovate and scale rapidly based on consumer demand, while maintaining our focus on managing operating costs. As we continue to further refine the technology, we expect to roll out a new Clipstream® release this winter."
Since the summer release, a major focus was on improving Destiny's proprietary server management logic. The system has access to potentially unlimited bandwidth, servers and storage arrays, but to ensure maximum efficiency and reduce costs, resources need to be tied to intelligent machine estimates on near term future demand. This update has resulted in a 300% reduction in encoding operating costs while increasing customer satisfaction through responsiveness.
Director of Product Management, Rick Ramsay, said, "A major focus for the fall release was improving the experience for users where CPU and bandwidth are limited and we believe our new adaptive playback system addresses these concerns. We have also found that larger customers need better control and integration of our engine into their own offerings. Thus, we released a powerful yet easy to use player object for embedding into a web site. In the new release, the API empowers customers to control playback behavior and presentation using Javascript integrated in their own web site. Additionally, we are working on an encoding API for integration with customer and partner processes, along with a much stronger CODEC for the winter release which will improve the overall user experience," concluded Mr. Ramsay.
The latest Clipstream® improvements are available for free trial at http://clipstream.com/register.html. Demos that show play back across a wide variety of devices without a plug-in are available at: http://dsny.com/media.
