Online Video with the Silverlight Media Framework
When:	Wednesday, 2/17/2010 at 6:30 PM
Where:	Microsoft San Francisco Office, 835 Market Street, Suite 700 San Francisco
Event Description
Innovations in online video are changing the way we experience the web, and create new opportunities to brand and monetize that experience. For example, Microsoft’s IIS Smooth Streaming technology has eliminated the need to buffer content, and modern CDN infrastructure makes it possible to deliver HD quality video to a global audience. Kevin Rohling will discuss these technologies and focus on how the Silverlight Media Framework provides the toolset needed to develop a branded online video experience. This will include real world examples of the SMF in use, as well as a deep dive into developing a video solution using Visual Studio and Blend.
