Los Angeles, CA – June 2, 2010 – When 19 Entertainment needed a partner to provide them with the expertise and guidance to manage live streams from 60 cameras, capture and organize the encoded media to support the post-production of a weekly half-hour long show, and get all that information to millions of viewers over the web for their ground-breaking show If I Can Dream, they turned to AEG Digital Media.
AEG Digital Media has enabled live and on-demand streaming events for millions of users, and has provided digital broadcast and related technology services for events including Live Earth, The Michael Jackson Tribute, the Olympic Games, Farm Aid, the Democratic National Convention, YouTube Live, The GRAMMY Awards and MTV’s Video Music Awards. That track record of success made them the obvious choice for 19 Entertainment.
“AEG Digital Media’s Ben Rolling was instrumental to the design of the network at the heart of If I Can Dream’s one of a kind streaming video system,” said David Ellner President, Digital of 19 Entertainment. “His deep experience in this space puts the answers and resources at his fingertips to take an experimental streaming concept and produce a dependable product. AEG Digital Media really delivered for us.”
If I Can Dream is a new reality show that’s the first of its kind. Following the lives of 6 aspiring artists, video feeds of every camera in their house will be streamed for viewing online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as they work to become stars. Viewers will also be able to audition for the show by uploading videos to the If I Can Dream page on MySpace. Having an experienced technology partner was paramount for 19 Entertainment.
