Dilithium Expands Live and Video On Demand Streaming Support for Android

Petaluma, CA. – November 19, 2008 – Dilithium, the global leader in high-quality multimedia delivery over mobile and broadband networks, announced the availability of live video and Video On Demand (VOD) streaming support for the Android handsets utilizing the Dilithium Content Adapter (DCA). The DCA solution is an infrastructure offering that can be deployed by operators and service providers enabling their customers to access live or on demand video content through the standard players and browser of most handsets, including the iPhone.

The DCA software solution supports live and pre-recorded clips in a wide range of video formats. DCA performs on the fly and on demand transport, media format, codec and bitrate adaptation. Android (e.g. T-Mobile G1) users can enjoy live and video-on-demand streaming without the need to install a special application, and may be on WiFi, WiMax, 3G, or 3.5G (HSDPA) networks.

It supports codecs such as, H.263, H.264, MPEG4, MPEG2, MJPEG, and popular audio codecs. The DCA features a PHP-based high level API that offers easy integration in operator and service provider frameworks and workflows.
