World Cup 2006:  - "Did you see that goal by Brazil?"
                             - "No, I wish.  I'm at work.  I'm tracking the play-by-play online, though.  Was it a good shot?"
World Cup 2010:  - "Did you see that goal by Brazil?"
                             - "Yes, which one do you mean? I saw both! That first one by Maicon was so amazing that I had to rewind my stream to see it again.  I thought for sure the goalie deflected it, but in slow motion you could see that he just bent it right in. Well I need to go file this report!"

 

In the technology world, four years is an eternity.  So, those of us woking on streaming technology not only understand its evolution in the last four years, but can truly appreciate how the presence of video everywhere has revolutionized coverage of the 2010 World Cup.

Elemental is preparing to pack up and head to the Big Apple for the thirteenth annual Streaming Media East technology conference, taking place May 11-12.  We look forward to seeing the East Coast broadcasters and production houses, especially those we missed in Las Vegas at the NAB show.

From the great turnout at Streaming Media West last fall, we expect to see a similar array of content owners, viral video creators, enterprise customers and broadcast professionals. While we might not be able to make it off the show floor for all the interesting sessions, we’re eager to hear about the latest online video technology and emerging business models designed to better monetize content.

At Streaming Media East, Elemental will demonstrate its enterprise-class, GPU-accelerated product line in booth 319, featuring:
