On2 Technologies has licensed its Flix® Engine encoding
and publishing platform to Eurosport, a leading on-line sports brand.
By using Flix Engine, Eurosport will standardize its online video
programming to On2 based video for Adobe Flash, and will migrate its
archive programming across Europe and China to the On2 format.
Eurosport, a subsidiary of TF1 Group, is the most
widely-distributed European sports satellite and cable network, with
availability in 59 countries and broadcasts in 20 different languages.
Eurosport offers viewers many major sporting events such as the UEFA
Euro 2008; the tennis Australian, French and U.S. Open tournaments; the
Olympic Games; major cycling events such as Le Tour de France; World
Championship Snooker, Australian Football League; major team sports
such as handball, basketball, and volleyball; winter sports, and youth
sports such as skating and surfing. Eurosport websites exist in French,
Russian, Swedish and Chinese versions, plus four web sites co-branded
with Yahoo!: .UK, .DE, .ES and .IT. Eurosport and Yahoo!Eurosport
websites offer sports highlights, videos, news, live-scoring and live
commentary, and many web 2.0 features.
'We chose to move to On2 based Flash Video programming for all our
online video because of the quality versus datarate and decode
simplicity the format offers. This means we can also provide high
quality programming to sports fans with slower connection speeds and
less powerful computers,' said Nicolas Klein of Eurosport. 'Equally
important was the range of encoding and publishing tools available from
On2 that allows for the future scalability of our services and
expansion into other delivery modes within this environment.'
On2, a de facto standard for web video through its adoption in
Adobe Flash Player 8 and 9, plays back on over 90% of
Internet-connected PCs worldwide. On2 Flix Engine is the leading server
side encoding solution for On2-based Flash video, powering some of the
most popular video UGC and social networking sites on the internet.
'Eurosport's move to On2-based Flash video is an example of the
enduring presence of this format for web video,' said Bill Joll,
president and CEO of On2 Technologies. 'The quality and ease of use –
available to the vast majority of web video users – makes On2 Flash the
format of choice. The quality of programming that Eurosport provides
using this format will deliver the experience that demanding users
expect of web video.'
