Vimond, Unified Team on Streaming

Vimond Media Solutions has formed a partnership with Amsterdam-based Unified Streaming. Unified Streaming's cross-platform video-streaming technology is designed to dynamically remux different video streams to different platforms and so reduce the number of different formats needed.USP is designed to allow Vimond customers to stream media content from one unified source to multiple clients and devices by wrapping Adobe (HTTP Dynamic Streaming), Apple (HTTP Live Streaming), Microsoft (Smooth Streaming), and MPEG-DASH into one. USP software on the customer's existing Web server does not do any transcoding, but instead transmuxes - changes the container format - to the format used by the adaptive streaming format. It also generates the different manifest/playlists formats used (.m3u8, .ismc, .f4m).
