iStreamPlanet Announces Support for Microsoft Silverlight 3

LAS VEGAS, NV, Jul 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
iStreamPlanet, a provider of digital media strategy, services and
software applications, announced today that it will release the next
version of iStream Director and iStream Presenter with fully integrated
support for Microsoft Silverlight 3. This will provide many new features
including the ability to work with multiple new formats such as H.264
video and AAC audio, as well as live and on-demand Microsoft Internet
Information Services 7.0 (IIS7) Smooth Streaming, which dynamically
detects and seamlessly switches, in real time, the video quality of a
media file delivered to Silverlight media players based on local
bandwidth and CPU conditions. Additionally, thanks to Silverlight 3's new
feature of leveraging GPU hardware acceleration and the innovation that
iStreamPlanet will provide in iStream Director, customers will be able to
provide their viewers a full high-definition (HD) experience in 720p and
higher with iStream Player.

"On the heels of working so closely with Microsoft to roll out live HD
IIS7 Smooth Streaming for Wimbledon and Much Music Awards, we are thrilled
to announce support for Silverlight 3 in our next release of iStream
Director and iStream Presenter," said Mio Babic, President and CEO of

continue to innovate while we develop products and services that empower
our customers to leverage engaging rich media experiences, deliver HD
quality video to the Web and protect their valuable media assets."

The iStream Director system delivers complete digital asset management
capabilities. iStream Director has numerous features designed to make
one's workflow easier and more productive, spanning five key areas: ingest
and transcoding, workflow, metadata, rights management and

presentation platform that enables smooth integration of audio, video, and
synchronized slides to provide a consistent, superior user experience for
