Intel Features LiveCast at Southeast Asia WiMAX Forum

Intel, senior sponsor of the Southeast Asia WiMAX Forum, held November 22-25, 2010 at Ritz-Carlton,  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, selected LiveCast for their showcase demonstration.

Theme of the event was: “4G WiMAX in Emerging Markets - Innovation and Evolution in Delivering Broadband to All" with the objective being to show real-life WiMAX implementation case studies.

Held in one of the World’s hottest WiMAX markets, WiMAX Forum Southeast Asia Regional Focus 2010 provides the perfect occasion for Asia’s WiMAX operators and the international vendor community to meet and share business model innovations, showcase technological advances and debate the future development of broadband wireless access.

Endorsed by WiMAX Forum, a LiveCast partner, and fully supported by MCMC and MOSTI, the WiMAX Forum Southeast Asia Regional Focus 2010 is created by a team of industry experts including representatives from Intel, MIMOS, Packet One, SIRIM, YTL and Beacon Events.

Intel demonstrated a combination of LiveCast's live mobile video streaming applications (Pro Pack), low latency enterprise applications (Command Center) and integrated mapping tools. The LiveCast showcase allowed industry leaders to experience the innovative solutions available today for leveraging next generation wireless networks.

Sony Promotes LiveCast Solution at Broadcast Convention

This week the TV Broadcast industry came to the west coast for the Western Broadcast Engineering Convention. Sony, a sponsor of the event and premiere exhibitor, selected LiveCast's Pro Pack and HeavyMeta solution to showcase their high-end professional XDCAM cameras.

Sony and LiveCast have partnered to develop an automated metadata assignment system that was initially unveiled at NAB last spring, called HeavyMeta. The HeavyMeta solution is integrated with all of LiveCast applications and with Sony's XDCAM cameras.

News teams in the field rarely have time to enter metadata into the camera before shooting. With LiveCast's HeavyMeta, an assignment can be sent from the news desk as an email attachment, which is then picked up by the LiveCast application and sent via direct WiFi to the Sony camera. When the live camera feed is started, accurate metadata originally sent from the news desk is captured and available when broadcasting live to air, or stored with the file when archived -- dramatically improving workflow efficiencies.

Attendees representing almost all major broadcasters in the US and Canada enthusiastically tried out the HeavyMeta system, along with LiveCast Pro Pack giving it a thumbs up. LiveCast will be officially launching the system with our new iPhone version of HeavyMeta, Sony, and with our 4G networking partners.
