We have carefully chosen the latest technology that provides the best video experience for your users.
Nimbus leverages the only technology to date that is built from the ground up to provide a high quality streaming experience, Microsoft Silverlight.
Silverlight is already installed on the majority of PCs and Macs on the web today, and offers much higher performance than other web plugin technologies (namely, Flash, Java, and QuickTime).
If you’ve ever worked with traditional Windows Media, Flash Video, or even watched a YouTube video, you have experienced a quality compromise – that is, you’re watching a quality of video that may be much lower than what your connection can handle.
In most streaming video platforms, you have to choose between a bitrate that is decent enough for most viewers to see a reasonable quality, but poor enough that viewers with slower connections won’t see frustrated “buffering” stops and starts. It’s time to change that.
Nimbus uses next-generation Smooth Streaming technology, eliminating this problem altogether. Nimbus automatically makes your content available in
eight different bitrates. Nimbus will automatically adjust on the fly to your viewer’s changing network conditions, carefully calculating and delivering the best possible quality level – but with no buffering and almost no waiting. For example, viewers watching over a slower 3G cellular modem will still see a smooth, lower quality stream, but viewers on faster broadband connections will experience your
flawless, High Definition quality.
We make it easy for viewers to see their current speed, right in your player.
Of course, if you want to measure your delivery quality, your viewer’s bitrates are also reported back to your administration control panel for easy viewing.
