2much Rolls Out First Live High Definition Video
2Much.net Rolls Out Live High Definition Video (Montreal)
October 12, 2005 - Interactive Video platform creator 2much.net will roll out a new,
live High-Definition video streaming format that is an Internet
first, according to company president Mark Prince.
In addition to being live and hi-def, the format presents
viewers with a wide-screen video display running at 30 frames
per second as well as 48KHz Dolby Surround 5.1 streaming audio.
"Traditional screen aspect ratio is 4:3, but this is 16:9. This
has never been done with live adult video chat before," claims
Prince. "Or any web video. We're not just pushing the envelope
anymore, we're pushing it through the shredder."
In recent online tests and demonstrations for clients from the
company's Old Montreal offices, "we had about 50 people in the
chat room, watching one of the more popular LCN Girls doing a
strip show at someone's desk." The live stream, according to
Prince, was viewable by everyone.
"The burden is more on our end, not on the end-user," said
Hidden Dragon, 2much.net's network supervisor and head
programmer. "We've acquired the machines, codecs and connection
required to compress, output, stream and route the video feeds."
"Live high-definition video requires fast computers, but nothing
most surfers aren't already using," Prince said. "We recently
completed extensive upgrades to our servers and routers to
support the new high-def format. We've put together
already-existing technology in a way that apparently nobody's
thought of yet."
"Intel Pentium Computers and standard video cards are great,"
Prince said. "But the system really shines on AMD 64's and newer
generation graphics cards such as the ATI Radeon series."
Adult video chat site LiveCamNetwork.com will
be the first to use the new format, running a series of live
interviews with the more popular LCN Girls, to be followed by
other videocasts revolving around the Webdreams television
series on Showcase, which features 2much staff and chat
hostesses from LiveCamNetwork, which is the company's flagship
site.
2Much techs will use these "videocasts" to monitor bandwidth,
CPU Usage statistics, and most importantly, customer feedback.
The videochat rooms featuring the new High Definition video
format will follow shortly.
"Back in 2000 we pushed the envelope for video streaming and DSL
users," said Prince. "And made a killing. Now it's common, and
everybody is getting into it. Now's the time for the next step
in live video chat."
A demonstration of Live High Definition video streaming is
scheduled for Friday, October 14, at 7pm EST, in the form of "The Luna Show" on LiveCamNetwork.com
