100 days to the Winter Olympic Games

  • Article

image It amazing that we are now (just) less that 100 days to the Olympic days. The new, interactive Silverlight player was recently launched on https://www.nbcolympics.com so its worth going there to see what is being planned by NBC.

The site is going to broadcast the event in full HD using silverlight and taking advantage of Smooth Streaming which is part of Internet Information Server.

This follows on from the great experience that we built with Sunday Night Football on NBC, where we are streaming the match live in HD, and also providing many new angles of the game, effectively building a better experience than you would see on your TV. For the Sunday night game, I have now switched to the PC to watch it – its pretty amazing.
