Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network Integrates SecureMedia Encryption Into Its eMEDIA `Network Video-Enabling` Solution
Result Provides the Most Efficient and Secure Solution For On-Demand Delivery of DVD-Quality Video and Audio
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- SecureMedia, the leading provider of high-performance encryption technology for broadband content, today announced that its Encryptonite(TM) Engine has been successfully integrated as the key security component in Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network`s eMedia delivery solution.
Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network, Inc., (TSBN) is the provider of the Web`s most advanced solutions for on-demand delivery of full-screen video and audio, offering services that optimize network efficiency and dynamically load-balance the transfer of content. The company is using SecureMedia`s patented Encryptonite Engine to protect digital content as it travels through its ``video-enabled`` networks. The Encryptonite Engine is optimized for broadband media and provides TSBN with an encryption solution that is extremely fast, highly secure and cost-effective. It is used as the security backbone for TSBN`s network, allowing complete end-to-end protection of media content from point of distribution to point of consumption.
``Our company has developed a complex set of infrastructure services designed to prepare existing and emerging networks for the next generation of content delivery, which is anticipated to be dominated by high-quality video and audio transfer,`` said Scott Redmond, CEO of Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network, Inc. ``We needed an advanced encryption solution that would not only meet the stringent security requirements of the film studios and record labels, but one that was also extremely fast, immune to transmission errors and packet losses, supported DVD equivalent `trick-play` control, and provided intelligent key delivery. We chose SecureMedia because their technology met these crucial requirements.``
TSBN`s proprietary technology addresses every need required for the transfer of high-resolution video over networks, including compression, encoding, hosting and load-balanced distribution that ensures optimum network usage and stability. The company`s infrastructure services also provide e-commerce components such as user profiling and digital rights management (DRM). SecureMedia`s Encryptonite Engine is integrated as the key security component of the company`s Tranz-Cast DRM solution. The Encryptonite Engine`s patented Indexed Encryption uniquely encrypts each frame of video at 607 bit key lengths and higher without having to transmit a key for each frame, thus lessening storage and bandwidth costs.
``TSBN`s system is designed to deliver full-screen, DVD-CD quality media content that is delivered quickly and reliably to consumers, while minimizing network traffic and delivery costs,`` said Jack Oswald, CEO of SecureMedia. ``These are precisely the goals around which we designed our encryption solution -- to allow network providers to securely protect media content without impacting system overhead costs or sacrificing quality of service.``
SecureMedia`s patented Encryptonite Engine represents a fundamental breakthrough in public key encryption technology. It is the only public key encryption system that can operate securely and efficiently in broadband media applications and consumer devices. It is capable of encrypting audio and video streams on the fly and decrypting them in real-time, using very little system overhead. The Encryptonite Engine is fast becoming the de facto encryption standard for broadband media delivery and storage.
SecureMedia`s Encryptonite Engine has been integrated into RealNetworks® RealServer8(TM) as the system`s key security component. With more than 135 million users and over 85% of sites containing media content using the RealPlayer formats, RealNetworks is the recognized leader in media delivery on the Internet.
SecureMedia has also partnered with Oak Technology, a leading provider of solutions for the storage, capture and sharing of digital content. SecureMedia`s real-time encryption capability adds one of the highest levels of encryption security and speed to Oak Technology`s controller chip solutions, which currently dominate the industry with more than 70% market share.

Zudem ist noch da die Kooperation mit AOL, seit dem Sommer 2000! (Somit kann ausgegangen werden daß Realnetworks nicht von der Leinwand verschwindet, ich glaube eher daß Realnetworks irgendwann von AOL geschluckt wird, da AOL(welche schon Time Warner halb verschluckt haben) ein multimediales Unternehmen aufbauen wollen. Meine Überlegung ist folgende:
Ich habe einen Internetprovider(AOL) und will Spielfilme übers Internet vertreiben, also brauche ich nicht in die Videothek zu gehen sondern lade sie mir vom Computer herunter, brenne sie auf die DVD und schaue sie mir mit den ganzen Hintergrundinformationen zu dem Film oder den Schauspielern an, was brauche ich noch dann?!
Eine passende Streaming-Software mit Sonderfunktionen zur Informationsabfrage und wer würde da besser zu AOL und Time Warner passen als REALNETWORKS.
Was meint ihr? Ich bin positiv eingestellt zu dem Unternehmen da sie wieder zu günstigen Kursen zu haben sind.
good trades
