Wimbledon Live – Smooth Stream & Silverlight
Written by Mat on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 10:30 - 1 Comment
Most of you know that I’ve been inundated for the last 2 weeks with a crash course project that was launched on Monday. iStreamPlanet built the player and back-end and is managing video assets for NBC Sports’ presentation of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships. The player is built on Silverlight 2.0 and features a fairly large archive of previews, highlights, and interviews from daily matches as well as full match replay on-demand for selected games.
Starting June 27, it will also feature live feeds including up to five simultaneous live feeds (of course the UK being 8 hours ahead of me means some extremely early morning admin). The live feeds (and subsequent VOD archives) will feature at least one Smooth Stream, Microsoft’s new adaptive streaming technology that will bring you hi-definition video at 2950k (it looks really sweet).
The 2009 Wimbledon runs through July 5th.
