Live in-game video streaming for eSports demands the highest quality Internet video. The Octoshape infinite edge streaming technology can deliver this quality level while also enabling eSports broadcasters to reach globally dispersed audiences without regional infrastructure.

Copenhagen – June 12th, 2009: With the gaming industry on the rise the production of premium gaming related content is growing daily. And as a technology driven industry the major content producers and broadcasters have turned to large scale live streaming to distribute their content.

Live gaming video broadcasts require a high resolution and a high frame rate. These components are essential to capture the detail of the fast-paced game action driving up the streaming bit rate needed to ensure a high quality viewing experience.

The challenges for high bit rate streams are twofold:
1. Getting sustainable high bit rate output from the remote venue is challenging.
2. Delivering the content to the global audiences that follow these events while preserving high quality is equally challenging.

Octoshape overcomes both of these challenges using its patented throughput optimization technology that opens and stabilizes outbound venue connectivity as well as blasting through congested, latent last mile networks – taking distance out of the equation.
