Clipstream is an innovative "instant play" solution for Playback of streaming audio and streaming video. Unlike Windows Media Player or QuickTime, there is no player that has to launch for the content to playback. Unlike Flash, multiple Clipstream® objects can play on the same page and the content can be uploaded to any website. Clipstream® uses up to 90% less bandwidth than these three solutions while providing a 98% playback rate, including across devices other than computers. Because there is no special player or server and everything is standards based, Clipstream® content never has to be re-encoded as technologies change.
