Allegro DVT AL2000 Transcoders Selected by Yacast Media for Web & Mobile Live TV

GRENOBLE, France, April 6, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Allegro DVT is proud to announce that AL2000 transcoders are
operated by Yacast Media in order to ensure 24/7 Live Broadcasting to Web,
Mobile and Over-the-Top TV.

The AL2000 transcoder is a carrier-grade 1U broadcasting
equipment, providing broadcasters such as FRANCE 24, etc, and CDNs with the
ability to reach viewers through the Web. It provides adaptive bitrate
encoding for the most popular live H.264 streaming formats including: Flash
HTTP Dynamic Streaming, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, Apple HTTP Live
Streaming.

Yacast Media now relies on the AL2000 to provide Flash RTMP,
RTSP/3GP, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and Apple HTTP Live Streaming outputs to
a broad range of viewing devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android
smartphones, OTT Set-top Boxes and PC TV.

The AL2000 is packed with features and embeds support for DRM,
ad-insertion, SNMP remote control, N+P redundancy, a high scalability and
many more options. Moreover, Allegro DVT has a lot of experience in
accompanying companies of all sizes on their OTT / WebTV projects.

With OTT, a "just-like-TV" viewing experience is made possible
thanks to two recent technological advances. The first is H.264, the
undisputed champion in providing the best video quality at a given data
throughput.

The second is "adaptive streaming". It provides the viewing
device with the encoded video content at various quality levels and lets the
viewing device benefit from the best available quality according to its
network conditions.

Please take the chance to come and meet us at NAB 2011 in Las
Vegas (booth #N1302) on April 11 to 14 2011.
