Webcasting is being
driven not only by the growth of the Internet, but also by the
ever-increasing sophistication of its users. More and more, the user is
accustomed to browsing the Internet for business and entertainment
purposes and demanding ever-faster access to programming. Although
webcasting is making its presence felt on the Internet, its use to date
has been limited, owing to poor quality of video transmission.
Much of the
programming found on the Internet transmits at a rate of 12 to 22
frames per second or at 1/4 screen resolution. This level of
transmission results in the "herky-jerky" out of focus picture
currently being webcast by the competition. However, WMI delivers its
multicast signals at a "television standard" 30 frames per second,
which results in a superior viewing experience that is more like
digital cable.
Provided the hardware (Nvidea video controllers) we support HDTV resolutions at 6Mb/sec.
WMI has been
assigned 255 channels by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA), a division of the National Science Foundation. Many
larger companies have less well known Class D IP Multicast address
space, for example: Microsoft/IPTV has 64 , WOZs Garage (Apple) has 64
and Disney has 64.
WMI's technology IS second to none and well ahead of any other entities in this field. We believe WMI is standing alone in the field
of "Television on the Internet."
