Mushroom Networks Debuts Streamer™ PRO Device at 2012 NAB Show® - Product Offers Portable Streaming For Audio and Video Professionals

SAN DIEGO, April 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mushroom Networks, Inc., innovators of Broadband Bonding™ technology, announced today the launch of Streamer PRO, a new solution for streaming live high-quality video to the web at the 2012 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show. The show brings together more than 90,000 media and entertainment professionals from around the world that discuss the entertainment content lifecycle.

Streamer PRO delivers the ability to stream high-quality video from any location, to any content delivery network (CDN) using any digital video camera. The technology is ideal for broadcasting live events including news, sports, and concerts. Music artists, who have a growing Internet fan base, yet little means for production or desire to sign with a large record label, can use Streamer PRO to inexpensively produce live concerts to directly connect with the fans. Live streaming also encourages fan interaction through social media outlets, commenting, and simple video sharing.

Streamer PRO works by bonding multiple 3G / 4G broadband connections together into one pipe specifically built to handle the demands of live video streaming. It features a built-in adaptive video encoder, so webcasters only need their camera, and are no longer required to carry a separate encoder for content streaming.

Mushroom Networks is also announcing its official sponsorship of Riley Grace, a talented young signer songwriter from Orange County, California who is utilizing Streamer PRO to connect with fans.

"Before the launch of Streamer PRO, serious artists did not have a streaming technology that was both very high quality and cost effective," said Dr. Cahit Akin, CEO of Mushroom Networks. "The product's portability and cost effectiveness make it an ideal choice for artists who need commercial quality webcasting to help promote their talents. They can send audio and video while onstage, on the tour bus, and at any sized-venue for optimal fan engagement. In addition to the launch we are very pleased to announce our corporate sponsorship of Riley Grace, a talented signer songwriter who is utilizing our technology to promote her brand through social networks and live performances."

Weighing less than three pounds, the Streamer PRO is battery powered, can attach directly to a broadcast camera, or can be used with the optional small bag. The portability of the device increases its applications musicians and entertainment professionals. It comes standard with USB ports for wireless modems, various types of video input ports and the capability to stream to virtually any CDN and video server.
