Online Video Platform Continues Focus on Streamlining Access to Content and
Enabling User Engagement Growth
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
VMIX (www.vmix.com) today announced a strategic partnership with Qik, Inc.
(http://qik.com) to deliver mobile live streaming services. As part of the
agreement, the companies are integrating Qik`s Mobile Live Streaming technology
with VMIX`s Online Video Platform to provide VMIX clients with a single,
seamless solution for live, mobile and on-demand video.
"We`re seeing great interest in live streaming from media, non-profit, education
and enterprise customers," said Qik CEO and Founder Ramu Sunkara. "VMIX`s
success in providing total online video solutions for these markets made them a
natural choice as a partner. Teaming with VMIX, we can offer a complete, proven
solution that will allow these industries to meet all of their online video
needs."
President and CEO of VMIX Mike Glickenhaus said the business benefits and
applications of mobile live streaming are many for VMIX clients. "Whether
websites use mobile streaming to run live coverage of events, product launches
and training seminars, or to draw fresh content and participation from their
site users, this solution opens up new opportunities for strengthening audience
engagement and growing revenue."
Glickenhaus added that the integration of VMIX and Qik technologies offers the
best in live mobile streaming and delivery. "Qik`s low latency rates, ease of
use, adaptive streaming and multi-pass encoding make for a premium experience
for mobile users, and VMIX`s robust media-management and technology framework
makes it so much easier for companies to build out client-facing applications
quickly.
"We have clients working to roll out the VMIX-Qik mobile live streaming solution
as part of their strategy to increase local coverage and content submissions
from their audiences. They understand that seizing and deploying technologies
like mobile live streaming gives them the edge in reducing the cost of content
creation, growing their audience engagement, and increasing revenues."
VMIX will be demonstrating their integration with Qik mobile live streaming next
week at Streaming Media West 2009 (booth #712). For more information, visit
