Who is Digital Fountain and what do you know about delivering high-quality video?
Digital Fountain is a media infrastructure company best known to international telecommunications carriers and equipment vendors.  Traditionally Digital Fountain capabilities have been leveraged to ensure entertainment-grade video delivery over private IPTV and mobile wireless networks.  So highly regarded are DF’s core technologies, that they have even been adopted as global standards by the leading specifications bodies including 3GPP, DVB, OMA, IETF and others.  Now, with the introduction of DF Splash, these unique capabilities are available in a first-ever TV-quality streaming video network service for media companies.

Isn’t web-delivered video already simple?
To deliver typical low-rate video within web pages, for example what we see on YouTube, is indeed simple and is automated by many services and products.  However delivering TV-quality video experiences is much harder and requires a number of special capabilities.

Will DF Splash work with my existing CDN?
Yes.  DF Splash is a video delivery platform that works with virtually any CDN to provide the highest possible streaming video quality.

Does playing DF Splash delivered video require client software?
Yes.  There is a browser plug-in that is automatically installed the first time a viewer clicks to play a DF Splash delivered video.  Digital Fountain has extensive experience porting and integrating software onto consumer and industrial devices and expects to deliver DF Splash clients in concert with consumer electronics partners.
