Abacast P2P To Webcast Technical Emmys Live On January 8TH

The National Television Academy, in partnership with TV Worldwide and Abacast, Inc, will webcast the Technical Emmy Awards Presentation held at the Venetian in Las Vegas on Monday, January 8, 2007.

For the first time ever the online broadcast will be delivered with very high quality video online, 548Kbps. This is only possible for an event of this magnitude because of Abacast’s patented, live, distributed streaming technology allowing for more robust streaming connections and significantly reduced infrastructure and bandwidth costs.

“This is a very exciting opportunity to showcase the quality and efficiency of our technology to deliver such an event at low cost,” says Mike King CEO of Abacast. “This webcast will show the quality of live streaming that can be achieved using our smart, secure P2PTV technology over the web.”

The event will feature a special presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to Eddy Hartenstein, former Vice Chairman of The DIRECTV Group, Inc.

“Abacast is proud to be a part of this event,” states King, “as it points to the heart of Abacast’s mission of bringing new technology to broadcast entertainment and communication.” Abacast’s mission has always been to aid broadcasters in using new technology to create profitable business models online. Abacast’s ability to reach a large audience with a high quality stream at a very low cost is the key.
