Balakam Live Media Search Will Be Born at Streaming Media West 2011

Nov. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, November 1, 2011 – Balakam LLC, a Russian-based developer in the field of web search technologies, will present a new live media searching engine at Streaming Media West 2011 held in Los Angeles, November 8-9 2011.

The key mission of the project is to provide the opportunity to search for live media streams on any device capable to play them – not only it’s applicable for PC and laptop but can search for live media streams at iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, and Smart TV devices. The engine is based on a unique patented search technology that dramatically enhances the effectiveness of online search. The intelligent searching algorithms and advanced crawling technology allows for an accurate retrieving and indexing of live media streams throughout the Internet.

To-be unveiled engine is to become a revolution in the sphere of online TV and radio search. The market for live streaming of TV, radio and web cameras is experiencing a tremendous growth. However, it still takes a huge effort to find relevant online broadcasting stations transmitting media content over the Internet. Balakam live stream search is going to solve this problem.

Among the key benefits of Balakam is its ability to work at any platform. Balakam processes millions of streams in the entire web and shows the streams most relevant for the user's geographical area and applicable for his platform. Also it recognizes the device used and prioritizes the results taking into account the media player and browser already installed at the device.

“We’re living in the era where multimedia content in the global web wins the day and gains the overwhelming popularity, when people prefer to watch and listen via Internet rather than to switch on TV set or radio.” comments Vladimir Krylov, CEO of Balakam, “But the Web space is endless while the time people are ready to spend on the web search for specific content is very limited. Such a complicated web environment needs an indispensable tool – a smart engine to search for media streams that are broadcasting here and now. That is why we created Balakam which will be a reliable search for effective exploration of live media streaming content at nearly any convenient platform.”

The pilot version of Balakam search will be presented to the conference delegates at the demo room session on November 8, 1:10 PM.  

As a Corporate partner of Streaming Media West 2011, Balakam will be sponsoring the opening seminar presented by Facebook as well as will support a vivid discussion of the entire webcasting workflow during the “Best Practices for Live Streaming” session.
