Media Maze

Came across another player in the "Live Video" market.

Beside the current players of Mogulus, Ustream, Kyte and several others this application differs in that it serves as another way to get contribution linking back to source ASAP, rather than live CDN.

Target market is newspapers to get the breaking live action to the web. There are similar products Todocast( http://www.todocast.tv/), Streambox (http://www.streambox.com/). Telestream (http://www.telestream.net/) Kulabyte (http://www.kulabyte.com/) as well, but an infinitely smaller platform, price break and as always a turnkey solution.

This versus the popular and rather older setup via BGAN cellphone application used by all the major networks around the world http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS156899+09-Jan-2008+BW20080109 to get footage back to network or whoever else aka video via satellite.

This appears somewhat different to the latter in that its using Flash based technology with low latency and minimal costs ($2000 Nz for licence and annual fee), via internet. Two products RT and RT Pack (being a turnkey laptop).

Can't what to see first reports, no doubt will be targeting NAB.
