"More and more viewers are expecting excellent quality and high resolution when they are watching Internet television online. That’s why we are delighted to offer DW-TV on Livestation. We know that more and more of Deutsche Welle's viewers are switching to the Internet. "
Holger Hank, Head of the New Media Division at Deutsche Welle
How Livestation was developed
Livestation has been developed by Skinkers, a privately funded technology company based in London.
Livestation is based on advanced peer-to-peer technology, originally developed by Microsoft Research. Skinkers acquired the full intellectual property for the technology through a pioneering technology for equity agreement, where Microsoft acquired a minority equity stake in Skinkers.
From the results of this research, Skinkers has developed the Live Delivery Network™, an enterprise-class peer-to-peer distribution architecture. Livestation is the first product based on this platform.
The core Livestation distribution technology is independent of any particular audio or video encoding or compression scheme.
