SHARNFORD, England and PLANO, Texas, July 15 /EMWNews-FirstCall/ -- Web TV-viewers in North America were able to watch live on June 21st as Amir Khan defended his Commonwealth lightweight title against Michael Gomez in the United Kingdom. Using advanced digital video encoding products from manufacturer ViewCast(R) Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST), Garland Partners Limited (GPL) assisted client Ether Digital in the live video streaming of this encounter via the Internet, as Khan -- despite the Olympic silver-medalist being left bloodied by Gomez -- successfully defended his title. "This was a very successful pilot trial covering a thrilling event," stated Malcolm Harland, Director of GPL. "Our technical support team worked closely with Ether Digital's engineers throughout the 8-hour event to ensure successful and continuous Web TV coverage for viewers in the United States and Mexico," continued Harland. London-based Ether Digital, who's "Miomni" technology enables companies to communicate and amplify core marketing messages through their own dedicated global IPTV channels, plans to roll out full production services for streaming live sports events this year as an addition to their already popular Web TV services. "We're extremely pleased with this pilot test," said Mike Venner, CEO of Ether Digital. "The technical support of our encoding partner, GPL, was key to ensuring we would be able to launch this service to our customers this year. We invested in the ViewCast Niagara(R)Pro platform after a detailed market evaluation, and this pilot solidified our commitment to using ViewCast solutions as we make more such events possible in the future." Live Web TV coverage of this boxing event was made possible through GPL's provision of Niagara streaming encoders manufactured by ViewCast. "We are pleased that Ether Digital selected the ViewCast Niagara platform as their Web TV broadcast solution," said Gary J. Klembara, Senior Vice President of Sales for ViewCast. Klembara continued, "Utilizing our industry leading technologies, GPL and Ether Digital were highly successful in meeting their video content delivery requirements, and have developed a solid and sustainable method for future IP-based video delivery."
