VANCOUVER,
April 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Destiny Media
Technologies (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQX: DSNY) is pleased to announce a
major upgrade to both the software and hardware infrastructure that
powers the Play MPE® Direct-to-Web portal
(http://goplay.plaympe.com). This site is used by tens of
thousands of music industry professionals to access pre-release
music and videos distributed through the Play MPE® system.
In the past, industry recipients could access pre-release
content that was solicited to them either through proprietary
player software (Mac, PC and iPhone) or through Java enabled web
browsers. This upgrade expands access to include both HTML 5
and legacy browsers on all modern computers, smart phones, tablets
and other devices. Access to download or stream is instant
and doesn't require plug-in software.
Despite anticipated growth in users and activity, Play MPE®
customers will continue to enjoy uninterrupted performance, even
during large bursts of simultaneous access because of the hardware
and infrastructure upgrades. Content is protected by Destiny's
proprietary security and watermarking solutions. Both streams
and downloads are marked with the recipient's identity and other
forensic details, so they can be held accountable in the case the
music is distributed illegally. A watermark detection service
is directly available to our top clients and IFPI (http://ifpi.org)
for real-time file checking.
Although today's Play MPE® Direct-to-Web upgrade
immediately provides support for access through smart phone and
tablet browsers, Destiny is developing a series of new Play MPE®
apps, specifically designed for various devices. This includes an
update to the Play MPE® iPhone app as well as new apps for Android
phones, iPad, Blackberry phones, and Android tablets, all expected
to be launched before the end of the 4th quarter.
