POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Onstream Media
Corporation (Nasdaq: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and
on-demand digital media communications and applications, reported today
that Televisa, the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world, is
expanding its multi-year business relationship with Onstream Media.
Televisa is currently using Onstream Media's Digital Media Services
Platform (DMSP) to facilitate the automated uploading, transcoding, hosting
and streaming of user-generated video content within its Esmas social
network portal. The new services will enable Televisa's audience to
experience videos of increased quality as a result of applying higher bit
rates, larger frame sizes, aspect ratios and improved codecs. Televisa is
expected to use these high-quality video capabilities for new projects
currently in development related to their Television production division.
Juan Bernardo Gonzalez Mendoza, Director of Technology of Televisa
Digital, stated, "Onstream Media is one of our more important vendors,
providing us with a solid and scalable platform for which we have grown our
user-generated video business. The Esmas social network depends on the
reliability and versatility of its integrated technologies to give our
audience the best user experience possible. Onstream Media continues to
meet our demanding requirements."
"Our business relationship with Televisa continues to grow," said Randy
Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media. "Our DMSP
now supports hundreds of thousands of video views per day and has processed
and delivered hundreds of millions of videos for Televisa and its various
divisions since we began the service. We continue to innovate and improve
our service offerings and as a result of both our ongoing development
activities and recent technology acquisitions, we are able to continue to
meet the expanding and changing needs of our major clients such as
Televisa."
