Amsterdam, 3 June 2008 - IJazz, a new major jazz festival in the
Netherlands has opted for the Flash Video platform by
StreamingMediaPartnersEurope for all its live and on-demand streaming
needs. The festival will take place at the former NDSM shipyard in
Amsterdam on 20, 21, and 22 June 2008. The concept is unique, as
high-quality broadcasts of live concerts at the festival will be sent --
live and via Internet -- to around 900 jazz venues all over Europe.

StreamingMediaPartnersEurope will host the entire website and provide
on-demand Flash Video live streaming, both on the website and to the 900
European jazz venues. The high quality of the live video streams will
enable jazz venues to show them on large screens. A 10Gbps bandwidth will
be available for streaming.

IJazz has specifically chosen StreamingMediaPartnersEurope for its
capability to provide both live and on-demand streaming Flash Video in HD
(H.264) quality, using existing H.264 live encoders. The company uses
unique technology to convert live streams into Flash Video. The CDN
platform can deliver this new technology on a large scale thanks to its
unique combination of hardware and software.

Sales manager Mark de Jong, "We are impressed by IJazz's professional
approach, which is also evident from its decision to opt for the highest
quality in streaming and hosting. This emphasizes that as an overall
provider of high-quality hosting and streaming, with an eye for new
developments, we can be a perfect match within the budgetary framework for
streaming."

CDN platform
The CDN platform offers a very large and very rapid storage capacity for
100,000s of clips in Flash Video that need to be available on demand,
randomly and 24x7. In addition to providing on-demand access to clips, the
CDN platform can be used for webcasts of events and concerts. It also
provides scalable solutions for web TV, video conferencing, file downloads
and for converting video files into any format.

Available features include load balancing and clustering, while various
forms of redundancy are also built into the CDN platform. Using specific
combinations of hardware and software, and partnering with businesses such
as Wowza Media Systems and SUN Microsystems, the platform can be rolled
out for a wide range of clients and locations.
