In an effort to offer more choices for live video streaming, Telestream announced release of Wirecast™ 3.5.3 webcast software. Wirecast is a live video production tool that allows users to easily create real-time and on-demand broadcasts for the web. Version 3.5.3 adds Flash® media streaming through Akamai, a leading content distribution network (CDN).

“Customer response has been overwhelming to the recent support in Wirecast for Flash streaming,” said Barbara DeHart, VP of Marketing at Telestream. “We are pleased to extend this support to include Flash streaming through Akamai, giving users more choices for streaming their video broadcasts to audiences located anywhere in the world.”
