March 05, 2013 |
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Elemental Technologies, the leading supplier of video solutions for multiscreen content delivery, today announced The Weather Channel is using Elemental video processing systems to support live programming and simulcasts to 100+ million U.S. households.

Elemental® Live video processing systems are deployed in The Weather Channel operations center in Atlanta, Georgia to help the network deliver top weather stories to viewers, including live video streaming of major weather events and breaking weather-related news.

For example, The Weather Channel is using Elemental systems to stream live content to the company’s YouTube channel. When The Weather Channel streamed live coverage of Hurricane Sandy to YouTube in 2012, Elemental systems powered delivery of video over the duration of the event. There were more than 12 million total live video streams viewed during the course of Sandy on weather.com and YouTube, with a peak of 167,000 concurrent users.
