Last week RipCode exhibited at the CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas.  This was our first year at this show, and considering our booth location was less than optimal – our fault for signing up late – we had good foot traffic and we’re kept busy talking with visitors and demoing our On-Demand Transcoding solution for mobile video.  We got a lot of positive reaction to our message.  It’s obvious that delivering video to mobile is a challenge for many companies.  As we describe our unique transcoding methodology, people are really excited by the possibilities of expanding their video library to any video platform - without the increased cost of storage, energy or hardware usage.  For more information on RipCode’s On-Demand Transcoding solution for mobile video, check out our video overview.

We also announced the availability of RipCode’s On-Demand Signaling Server.  If you missed the news last week, you can check out the full press release on our website.  The On-Demand Signaling Server is a complement to RipCode’s Video Transcoding Appliance and is designed to function as the intelligent network and workflow manager for multiple RipCode appliances.  Tim Siglin from Streaming Media Magazine interviewed me prior to the show regarding the announcement.  You can check out the complete interview from Tim’s podcast podcast.

Also a big highlight for us from the show was our sponsorship of the FierceWireless party for CTIA attendees at Rain Nightclub at The Palms.  For pictures from the event, check out the FierceWireless website.  Congratulations again to Josh Wittman from Red Eye.  He was the recipient of our raffle drawing for a Sony PSP.

Overall, it was a great week at CTIA.  Now, we’ll be heading back to Las Vegas again next week for the NAB show. And maybe we can win some of our money back…or not.
