James Blunt Avoided 'Some Kind of Trouble' at his Album Launch Show
News Release - 8 December 2010
James Blunt’s launch show for his new album was broadcast exclusively via his own YouTube channel from the Bloomsbury Ballroom, London earlier this month.
This high-quality, web-streaming experience was made possible by the teaming up of Jackshoot.tv which, together with Garland Partners Limited (GPL), provided the production facilities with the Inlet Technologies Spinnaker SD 5000 encoding platform.
“GPL always provides us with the ideal streaming solutions," said Simon Haywood, Director Jackshoot TV. "The Spinnaker platform allows us to stream H264 flash IP streams of fantastic quality straight from our truck over our IP satellite link. Great bandwidth utilisation and reliability make the Spinnaker the perfect encoding solution for us.”
The Spinnaker family, from US company Inlet Technologies, is a range of professional live-streaming encoders supported in the UK by GPL. The encoders enable SD/HD multi-format, simultaneous streaming of audio and video streams to the web and to mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, Android, and Smartphone.
The event was a huge success for Jackshoot's client New Stream Media, and was not only the first UK-produced live internet broadcast on YouTube, but was possibly its largest live-streamed event ever.
