Raystream (OTCBB: RAYS) Announces Contract with Cinefly

Palm Beach, FL 2/22/12 (StreetBeat) -- Internet TV company Cinefly recently completed a 30-day evaluation period, during which Cinefly tested and assessed the HD video compression services offered by Raystream Inc. (OTCBB: RAYS). After experiencing the capabilities of Raystream’s cloud-based compression tools within its own video delivery system, Cinefly has now signed a year-long agreement with Raystream.

Cinefly is an internet television site offering instructional, travel and destination, documentary, and conservation films from around the world, all dedicated to the sport of fly fishing. Cinefly also provides industry news, gear reviews, vodcasts, and new release trailers, as well as download-to-own movies and DVD/Blu-ray titles.

"We were definitely skeptical that Raystream's compression technology could deliver such reduced bitrates and file sizes without impacting image quality. After compressing various source files with different codecs and bitrates, however, and seeing no obvious compression artifacts or loss in quality, we were sold,” said Rick Williams, founder of Cinefly. “We've now signed up with Raystream because of the significant savings we'll realize in streaming and storage costs of our premium HD content.”

Raystream’s HD video compression technology decreases the file size of HD videos by an average of 70 percent, with no significant decrease in the sharp images and intense colors of HD. Using Raystream’s services will enable Cinefly to dramatically reduce bandwidth and data storage costs, while providing viewers with excellent quality streaming video.

“We are pleased to announce this agreement with Cinefly, after a successful evaluation period. Cinefly is deeply committed to providing the best possible online viewing experience for customers, and Raystream is helping them do that -- while saving Cinefly a great deal of money in bandwidth costs,” said Raystream CEO Brian Petersen.

Raystream’s compression solution is effective for streaming HD video-on-demand (VOD), live streaming, and full HD 3D videos.

Raystream™ Inc. (OTCBB: RAYS) Enters Smart Start Evaluation Agreement with ZooVision

Palm Beach, FL 1/23/12 (StreetBeat) -- Raystream Inc. (OTCBB: RAYS), a global High Definition video compression services company, is entering a 30-day evaluation period with IPTV video streaming company, ZooVision, based in Kalamazoo, Mich., which offers subscribers both video-on-demand (“VOD”) and live streaming video services.

“ZooVision is changing the way people use their smart phones and connected TVs to access entertainment. Through this evaluation period, Raystream will demonstrate how our proprietary High Definition video compression tools will reduce the size of ZooVision’s HD video files by an average of 70 percent. That reduction will allow Raystream to drastically decrease ZooVision’s bandwidth and data storage costs,” says Raystream CEO Brian Petersen. “Because Raystream’s HD video compression solution shrinks HD video files without losing the pristine image quality or deep color saturation associated with high def, ZooVision subscribers will see the sharp, beautiful videos they expect. And, because of their much smaller size, those videos will start almost instantly, and play smoothly, with little or no buffering.”

“ZooVision is excited to offer Raystream's compression technology to our subscribers and to improve the overall IP video experience. So far our testing has gone well and we expect to roll out Raystream's compression in Q2,” says ZooVision VP Sean Berner.

Raystream’s technology can be used to compress previously recorded HD video files for VOD, as well as for live streaming of HD video, which is compressed in real-time, as it is generated, prior to streaming over the Internet. Additionally, Raystream’s cloud-based compression tools even work with full HD 3D videos, allowing users to instantly view the compressed video on any 3D video-enabled device.
