Broadcast Electronics Announces "On-Air Quality Over the Net" Streaming Media Solution
Radio Stations, Professional Media Producers, and Webmasters can now Improve user's listening experience

Broadcast Electronics today announced the introduction of eSTREAM, a complete streaming audio hardware / software processing solution that empowers streaming media producers with "on air quality over the Net". This technologically advanced product enables radio stations, professional media producers, and corporate webmasters to successfully convert analog content into the digital medium for broadcasting through a streaming media server of their choice without sacrificing sound quality or taxing CPU power.

Through eSTREAM's seamless, simultaneous integration with several streaming media servers at one time, streaming media producers can easily do live webcasts without sacrificing the content's sound quality they are providing their audiences. eSTREAM offers the correct blend of user-friendly audio processing software applications, streaming bandwidth management tools, and analog to digital conversion hardware.

eSTREAM offers customers a powerful audio processing card which removes the burden of analog to digital processing from the computer's CPU. In addition, eSTREAM includes several advanced audio plug-ins from Waves Ltd., which allow content producers to customize and prepare sound for streaming their media across the Net so users have an improved listening experience.

"eSTREAM allows streaming media producers to leverage their existing infrastructure with our advanced hardware and software solution. It allows them to stream content to their audiences while protecting brand recognition, improving user's listening experience, and enabling them to expand their market," said Mark Jamieson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
