MLB Advanced Media selects to use Inlet’s Spinnaker solution to produce broadcast-quality streaming video for MLB.TV’s live out-of-market game broadcasts during the 2008 baseball season.

Inlet’s Spinnaker provides live encoding solutions that enable content providers to reach new audiences over new networks. Spinnaker delivers best-in-class quality for live media delivery applications such as sports programming over the Internet, IPTV, web streaming, PEG, broadband TV, enterprise, education or government video.

In addition to high-quality live streams of baseball games, Spinnaker will also play an integral role in the development of other interactive capabilities for MLBAM. Spinnaker will be used to create real-time highlights without the need for additional transcoding. Created directly from streamed data, highlights can be viewed with no buffering required. Inlet also created a customized mosaic software interface where users can simultaneously view thumbnails of 16 games in play. Users can click on a game and immediately begin viewing in full screen without buffering. Additionally, Inlet helped create capabilities for inline ad insertions during live streams.
