纽约，纽约(12月10日)

Streamroot t今天，该公司宣布已融资2美元.5M in seed funding led by Partech Ventures and with the participation of Walnut Venture Associates, 樱桃石天使集团, 让-大卫·布兰科和法国BPI. Streamroot will use this funding to secure its position in the U.S. and European markets and achieve its multi-device ambitions.

有独特的视频传送方式, the startup aims to help broadcasters overcome one of the biggest challenges facing the web today: the explosion of video traffic. Video content represents over 60% of worldwide internet traffic and with the growing use of mobile devices, 这个数字被设定为跳至90% by 2018.

Current media distribution models have begun to reach their limits. Big name video broadcasters are already struggling with network over-capacity, 缓冲和服务质量差, especially during widely viewed broadcasts such as show premieres and sporting events. System failures demonstrate that existing client-server infrastructures are in dire need of a shakeup and that new, more reliable means of delivering content are needed.

作为这个问题的答案, Streamroot has created a unique peer-accelerated video streaming solution. While online video delivery was traditionally based on one-to-one connections between the viewer and the host server, Streamroot harnesses an often untapped piece of the video streaming chain: the device itself.

使用最新的对等协议, the system connects users watching the same stream, allowing them to obtain content from the source that can provide it the fastest – whether it be from the server or another viewer. 使用这个额外的传递层, broadcasters can reach their audiences more efficiently, 确保更好的服务质量, and multiply the capacity of their servers without having to invest in additional infrastructure.

Streamroot aims to bring the industry a more robust, reliable and flexible streaming architecture that can scale to millions of viewers watching video content across the world.

“随着视频的持续增长, innovative distribution solutions are needed to both help publishers remain profitable and to keep video from ‘breaking’ the internet,Jeroen Wijering说, JW Player的创造者和联合创始人, who has followed the company closely from its infancy. “Streamroot’s delivery optimization technology is a key piece of that puzzle; they have the industry-leading implementation, 还有一片光明, 有远见的团队.”

“We are extremely pleased that our investors have as much faith in our solution as we do,皮埃尔-路易斯·塞隆说, Streamroot的首席执行官兼联合创始人. “每天都是这样, 我们可以处理多达50个的流,000 simultaneous viewers and will use this capital to help the biggest broadcasters deliver high-quality content throughout the world. Next time you tune in to the Olympic Games or the Super Bowl, 我们希望Streamroot为您的视频提供动力.”

Streamroot is the first and leading plugin-free, peer-accelerated streaming technology leveraging WebRTC. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into broadcasters’ existing video workflow and offer total security. Streamroot already enjoys a varied customer base of live and video on-demand platforms, 包括一线媒体公司. The startup has allowed its clients to deliver up to 90% of their traffic using the Streamroot network, while offering faster streams and higher resolutions.
