OnStream MediaPlayer+ Enables Cross-Platform, High-Quality, Multimedia Delivery

Multiple operating systems, numerous device models, and an increasing mobile entertainment audience are all making it tougher for content providers to provide seamless media content, but VisualOn's (News - Alert) OnStream MediaPlayer+ claims to enable cross-platform video delivery to any device on any platform.

OnStream MediaPlayer+ provides a quick-to-market solution for content providers and minimizes the challenges of the fragmented mobile landscape with superior content delivery, according to company officials.

"We are experts in navigating the disjointed device market and OnStream MediaPlayer+ is a scalable solution that delivers rich media to consumers on the screen of their choosing," said Yang Cai, CEO at VisualOn, in a press release.

The relevance of VisualOn's new product gathers greater significance in light of the fact that, according to Cisco (News - Alert), global mobile data traffic is expected to increase more than 375 percent in 2012 and by 2014, 66 percent of all mobile data traffic will be attributed to video consumption.

By allowing seamless distribution of multimedia to consumers regardless of hardware, Operating system or platform, the process of content delivery has been greatly simplified for content providers.

MobiTV (News - Alert), a provider of managed services that deliver live and on-demand television and related media content across Internet-enabled devices, is one of the many customers that has implemented VisualOn's OnStream MediaPlayer+.

This, according to Kay Johansson (News - Alert), chief technology officer at MobiTV, has enabled the company to begin creating a reference standard and client platform that was ready for deployment across a variety of devices.
