Actually running on the RTP protocol, the implementation of the additional RTMP protocol opens new gates for miniCASTER users, when they need to send their stream to the internet. Now, every miniCASTER can ingest to the major players in the streaming media market, because most of the market leading content delivery networks like Akamai, Limelight, Level 3, TV1.EU and self-streaming platforms like livestream.com, ustream.com and justin.tv accept the RTMP protocol.

miniCASTER clients benefit from the main features of this release:

Streaming option RTMP*

Stream to your favourite live platform using the widely supported RTMP protocol

Streaming option TS

Stream a MPEG2-TS via UDP without RTP wrapping

For users, who operate their own video server infrastructure, miniCASTER can now ingest to the Adobe Media Server, which only accepts RTMP, too. This extension will have massive impact on almost any kind of application using our miniCASTER .

Beside these features you will recognize:

Device stability

- Increased stability for 3G/4G streaming

Local browser interface

- Significant speed improvements of startup

- Added scanning for Wifi networks

We are happy to provide our miniCASTER users a new feature, which brings them total freedom by choosing the destination for ingest and delivery. This is real value for them and its for free , explains Michael Westphal (46), CEO and Co-Founder of miniCASTER
