BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In advance of IBC 2024, Eluvio today announced the full commercial launch of the next-gen Eluvio Content Fabric – Casablanca Release and Application Suite to deliver premium live streaming, PVOD, FAST channels, and video archive monetization at scale. Eluvio also opened registration for its exclusive keynotes and case study demonstrations at IBC on September 13-16 at https://wallet.contentfabric.io/ibc.

The Eluvio Content Fabric – Casablanca Release (shortlisted for the IABM BAM awards) is a next-generation content distribution and storage protocol providing ultra-fast, efficient, tamper-proof streaming, download and monetization of video at scale. It provides advanced streaming and AI discovery features that solve the biggest problems facing media companies by dramatically reducing investments in clouds and CDNs and opening new engagement and revenue opportunities. The software protocol significantly simplifies distribution by replacing file workflows with a hyper-efficient streaming and delivery pipeline in protocol. This dramatically reduces the bandwidth and storage compared to clouds and CDNs and slashes cost and carbon and enables unlimited re-use of the same content (no files/egress), personalization without compromising scale, and built-in security, authenticity and rights. The new Casablanca Release, Creator Studio App, Media Wallet, Video Editor, Embeddable Player, Content Analytics & Reporting App, and AI Content Understanding Apps are built on the Eluvio Content Fabric.

“Eluvio is solving the most challenging problems of legacy video delivery—complexity, cost, and the innovation trap,” said Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio. “The traditional content publishing and distribution stack has so much complexity because the media, metadata, processing are all part of siloed workflows, and achieving fast or scalable streaming performance is often by brute force. This structure leads to unnecessarily higher costs, inefficiencies, and resource demands. And finally, it creates a lock-in of the tech stack that prevents media re-use and personalization-the kind of innovation media companies need right now–especially in the age of AI. The Content Fabric replaces brute force legacy distribution with its ‘content-native’ approach. Streaming speed, workflow simplicity and cost-efficiency are inherent, and media is data driven and owner controlled, without having to work at it so hard, or pay so much. This simply changes the game for content owners including all rights holders, broadcasters, studios, and creators of all sizes.”

Casablanca Release: Content Fabric Core Features and Apps

The Casablanca Release has brought the novel invention of the Content Fabric protocol to practical scale with advanced streaming features, enterprise grade management, end-to-end audience analytics, proven ultra-low latency performance at global scale, AI content search, summarization and clip generation, and turnkey digital properties for OTT streaming and archive monetization. Key new features of the Casablanca release include:

NASA Sets Coverage for Astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Return

Published

September 19, 2024

By

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will depart from the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and return to Earth.

Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will undock from the orbiting laboratory’s Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan.

NASA’s live coverage of return and related activities will stream on NASA+ and the agency’s website. Learn how to stream NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.

A change of command ceremony also will stream on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will hand over station command to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which begins at the time of undocking.

Spanning 184 days in space, Dyson’s mission includes covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth and a journey of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft launched March 23, and arrived at the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 days before returning home with NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara on April 6.

Kononenko and Chub, who launched with O’Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft last September, will return after 374 days in space and a trip of 158.6 million miles, spanning 5,984 orbits.

Dyson spent her fourth spaceflight aboard the station as an Expedition 70 and 71 flight engineer, and departs with Kononenko, completing his fifth flight into space and accruing an all-time record 1,111 days in orbit, and Chub, who completed his first spaceflight.

After returning to Earth, the three crew members will fly on a helicopter from the landing site to the recovery staging city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA plane and return to Houston, while Kononenko and Chub will depart for a training base in Star City, Russia.

NASA’s coverage is as follows (all times Eastern and subject to change based on real-time operations):

Sunday, Sept. 22
10:15 a.m. – Expedition 71/72 change of command ceremony begins on NASA+ and the agency’s website.

Monday, Sept. 23
12:45 a.m. – Hatch closing coverage begins on NASA+ and the agency’s website.

1:05 a.m. – Hatch closing

4 a.m. – Undocking coverage begins on NASA+ and the agency’s website.

4:37 a.m. – Undocking

6:45 a.m. – Coverage begins for deorbit burn, entry, and landing on NASA+ and the agency’s website.

7:05 a.m. – Deorbit burn

8 a.m. – Landing

For more than two decades, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge, and making research breakthroughs that are not possible on Earth. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit. As commercial companies focus on providing human space transportation services and destinations as part of a robust low Earth orbit economy, NASA is focusing more resources on deep space missions to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for future human missions to Mars.
