DF Splash - Home Theater quality video over the Internet

The demo is here, the demo is here! Pop your popcorn and pull up a desk chair.


Digital Fountain's DF Splash streaming video CDN (VCDN? VDN?) makes a real TV quality experience possible over the Internet using DF's forward error correction technology.

The demo is stunning, particularly on a wide screen monitor with a good set of speakers. At the moment, the demo is only available on Windows XP using a client software download, with a minimum of 1.5Mbs broadband connection (check the minimum requirements on their web site).

DF Splash is running on Amazon Web Services infrastructure and delivers a flawless video transmission to my computer more than 4,000 miles away from US shores. The video quality of P2P video services (at least the ones that I have seen) pales in comparison to the full motion, TV quality picture from DF Splash.

DF Splash is in beta and is offering free 90 day trials of streaming video to content owners. The demo has only been up for a few days, so there is only a smattering of posts about people's experience with the demo, so give the demo a spin and let me know what you think. Thanks.
