The technology has improved the viewer experience of more than 170 million subscribers over billions of viewing minutes to date through relationships with top streaming media and consumer electronics companies including Disney, Paramount Global, Warner Bros., Philips, and Sony.
Since the acquisition, the streaming technology capabilities for media and entertainment products have expanded, including technology like Stream Smart™, an enterprise software purpose-built to deliver the clearest picture for less. This product was built through a combination of groundbreaking science, state of the art engineering, trusted studio relationships and rooted in a real world at-scale Emmy®-winning collaboration with Disney Streaming Services and SSIMWAVE. StreamSmart™ will be the centerpiece of the IMAX showcase at IBC.
