Last week saw the CTIA Wireless show take place in Las Vegas.
Ripcode were there for the first time, and exhibited solutions for on
demand mobile video transcoding.
Considering booth location was less than optimal
– Ripcode’s own
fault for
signing up late – they still got good foot traffic and
were kept busy talking
with visitors and demoing their On-Demand Transcoding
solution
for mobile video.
There was a lot of positive reactions to the
message. It’s obvious that delivering video to
mobile is a challenge
for many
companies.
Transcoding Methodology
When describing the unique transcoding methodology, people
are really excited by the possibilities of expanding their video
library to any video platform – without the increased cost of storage,
energy or hardware usage.
For more information on RipCode’s On-Demand
Transcoding solution for mobile video, check out the video overview.
On Demand Signalling Server
Ripcode also announced the availability of the On-Demand Signaling Server.
The On-Demand Signaling Server is a complement to
RipCode’s Video Transcoding Appliance and is designed to
function as
the intelligent network and workflow manager for multiple RipCode
appliances.
Tim Siglin from Streaming Media Magazine interviewed me
prior to the show regarding the announcement. You can check
out the
complete interview from Tim’s podcast.
Ripcode Sponsored Party
A big highlight from the show was Ripcode’s sponsorship
of the
FierceWireless party for CTIA attendees at Rain Nightclub at The
Palms.
For pictures from the event, check out the FierceWireless website.
Congratulations again to Josh Wittman from Red Eye. He was
the recipient of the raffle drawing for a Sony PSP.
Overall, it was a great week at CTIA. Now,
we’ll be heading back to
Las Vegas again next week for the NAB show. And maybe we can win some
of our money back…or not.
