Wowza Media Systems Announces Partnership With Exterity
EVERGREEN, CO., September 8, 2010—Wowza Media Systems®, the media server software company, today announced a partnership with IPTV specialist, Exterity Limited, to extend the reach of Exterity's LAN-based live IP video networks to Flash®, iPhone®, Silverlight®, and a variety of other players and devices.
The two companies confirmed interoperability between Wowza Media Server 2 and Exterity's range of AvediaStream H.264 encoders to create these extended solutions.

“With its unique ability to make video content available to any media platform and any screen, Wowza Media Server adds invaluable functionality when used with our AvediaStream H.264 encoders,” said Colin Farquhar, CEO of Exterity. “We know our customers are going to appreciate the enhanced capabilities just as we appreciate having an outstanding partner in Wowza.”
Recognized as the Streaming Media Readers' Choice for Best Innovation of 2009, Wowza Media Server is a high-performance video engine that simultaneously delivers content from a single set of live or on-demand H.264 assets to multiple online clients and devices, including Flash, Silverlight, iPhone/iPad™, Android™ and other mobile platforms, as well as IPTV set-top boxes.
“Exterity is well known as a key technology provider to some of the world’s best-known corporations,” said Alex Dobrushin, chief marketing officer of Wowza Media Systems. “Jointly we are offering solutions that not only offer excellent video encoding quality, but can take that content beyond the walls of the enterprise to any platform and any player.”
