RayV showcased its new broadcasting platform at the IBC Convention. It allows anyone to create highly customizable TV channels through its live studio, while distributing high-quality live streams on the RayV grid system, and to have scalability to display on a handful of devices from PCs to TV sets and mobile devices.

By providing a turnkey business solution, RayV empowers not only existing TV channels but also a totally new class of content creators to develop their own destination TV channels. Using the RayV platform allows broadcasters to provide viewers with a unique mixture of professionally produced content, live events, and original user-generated material.

“RayV’s platform has created a new financial reality. By providing television-quality broadcasts at virtually no cost, we are enabling companies and individuals to create their own television network using the RayV platform,” says Ori Birnbaum, co-founder of RayV. “Broadcasting TV over the Internet requires much more then just a simple streaming solution. Working closely with our industry-leading broadcast partners, we have developed a full turnkey platform providing not only superb video quality but the ability to create an entirely new broadcast structure, utilizing a wide range of business models.”

RayV.com, which officially launches today, already boasts an impressive client roster with more than 100 leading TV channels from around the world, including the U.S., India, France, Russia, China, Portugal, and the UK.

“RayV’s technology has enabled us to extend our reach far beyond what we had previously thought possible,” says Jean Michel, CEO of AB Groupe (a TF1 company). “We’ve created a top-flight programming portal with over 30 French channels to be broadcast to French-speaking audiences around the world.”

RayV also plays host to a diverse offering of entertainment-themed programming, including The Online Entertainment Channel from the co-founder of WireImage, serving up the latest gossip and events live from Hollywood.

“RayV is enabling us to deliver the cutting edge of entertainment to the world,” says Justin Kahn, director of content for The OEC. “We are now able to create an interactive red-carpet experience, streaming live events with interactive chats in real time to fans.” RayV will be hosting media and guests during IBC 2008 in stand 3.A38.
