WhiteBlox’s innovative broadband television solutions allow companies to leverage video assets into profits by providing live multi-camera capabilities, on-demand programming, interactive advertising, e-commerce, and unprecedented levels of community interactivity all within one online media player. WhiteBlox's suite is an end-to-end solution, from encoding to integration, enhancements and delivery.

WhiteBlox’s solutions will now also include Abacast’s patented hybrid Peer-to-Peer streaming technology for the highest quality and most efficient, cost-effective delivery. Abacast’s distributed streaming technology not only reduces live video streaming cost by up to 98% but also provides end-to-end quality of service monitoring and a measurable improvement in the end-users experience.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Abacast,” said WhiteBlox CTO, Serge Stein.  “Abacast has terrific technology that provides high-quality yet cost-effective delivery.  The integration of our offerings will provide increased options and even higher revenue generating potential for clients looking to monetize their content.”

WhiteBlox clients will now have an option when setting up live streaming events to choose standard unicast streaming technology or the higher quality, more affordable hybrid Peer-to-Peer streaming from Abacast. Further, the Abacast media player plug-in has been integrated into the WhiteBlox player so there is no need for a plug-in download by the end user. Thus, the end-users experience will be exactly the same regardless of which delivery option is chosen. This high degree of integration between the two companies’ offerings will make the combined solution extremely powerful in the market place.

“We are very excited about this partnership. WhiteBlox has a great solution for helping clients encode, brand and monetize their video events. Now with Abacast delivery technology these events will be even more profitable,” states Michael King, president of Abacast, “while at the same time improving the quality of the end product.”

WhiteBlox gives clients the flexibility, control and ability to leverage video assets and content into dynamic, engaging and profitable channels. The integration of the Abacast technology as a delivery option will even further enhance the already robust and varied monetization potential native to the WhiteBlox system.
