DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raystream Inc. (OTC BB: RAYS), an emerging global provider of HD video services, today announced its new, Full High Definition 3D video compression service.
Raystream’s cloud-based architecture enables customers to compress HD 3D videos, up to 1080 pixels, at the same bandwidth requirements as 2D content, and instantly view the compressed video on any 3D video-enabled device, including home theatres, set-top boxes, tablets, game consoles, laptops and mobile phones.
“Raystream’s new HD 3D solution enables users to compress live 3D video, or existing 3D video files, for online delivery with a much lower bandwidth requirement,” said Raystream CEO Brian Petersen. “Not only does the compressed video retain its crystal clarity, but its smaller size also prevents buffering, stopping and jittering. That means a much better viewing experience, and a big reduction in bandwidth costs.”
Using Raystream’s Full HD 3D compression tool, full-frame left and full-frame right HD 3D videos are condensed into a single, synchronized stream. That single stream can be played by HD 3D devices as full-left and full-right play out or side-by-side.
“The demand for 3D video is continuing its rapid growth,” Petersen added. “Last November, Futuresource Consulting released a study predicting that in 2011, 5 million 3D TV sets will be purchased in the U.S., and another 3 million elsewhere around the world–more than doubling sales in 2010. This doesn’t take into consideration 3D video delivery on other devices, such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Raystream is ready to help drive the growth in HD 3D video demand by removing the barriers of bandwidth costs and buffering for both businesses and consumers.”
