Microsoft Unveils New Browser-Based Video
Platform at NAB in Las Vegas -- Major League
Baseball, Netflix and Brightcove will use
Silverlight
We've been reporting on developments with
Microsoft's new online video platform which
had been called Windows Presentation
Foundation Everywhere (WPF/E). Today (Monday)
in Las Vegas at NAB, Microsoft is taking the
wraps off the new platform which is called
Microsoft Silverlight. It's all part of the
new Microsoft Expression initiative.
It won't go live for another two weeks, but
we have the demo on Beet.TV (below).
Like the ubiquitous Adobe Flash video
ecosystem, Silverlight will provide a range
of authoring and encoding tools to create
rich media, notably video. Like Flash, the
new video will play on the browser (IE,
Safari, Firefox) with the download of a 2 MB
application.
Microsoft is selling authoring tools and
there are editing and encoding programs to
render the files which are based on Windows
Media Video (WMV). Pinnacle and Microsoft
Movie Maker work. If you're editing and
rendering in Final Cut Pro on a Mac, like we
do at Beet.TV, you will need to purchase
software to encode to the VC-1 video
standard.
In a new development since we first reported
this, Silverlight files can be hosted on all
major servers, including Linux -- not just on
Windows Media servers.
Microsoft is announcing partners in this new
initiative including the big CDN players
Akamai and Limelight. Also onboard is
Netflix, which will stream movies starting in
June, Major League Baseball and Brightcove.
On Sunday, Brightcove CEO Jeremy Allaire told
me about company's plans with Microsoft on
this new initiative. The former key
Macromedia executive said that his company's
commitment to Adobe and Flash is deep and
strong and will expand. But, he sees a place
for Microsoft's new platform at Brightcove.
Here's what said in an e-mail exchange:
"We also plan to introduce support for
streaming VC-1, which will offer a
high-quality, cross-platform and secure
format for commercial media in our platform.
As we do more business with major
broadcasters, including CBS, Fox, MTV
Networks, etc., it's important to be able to
support multiple formats and technology for
content protection that is accepted by the
media industry."
In advance of the show, we were very
fortunate to interview Microsoft's Forest Key
who explained this initiative. Known as the
"man behind Expression," Forest is also a
former Macromedia executive. His overview of
Silverlight is above and a very cool demo of
the platform is below.
