Microsoft is about to release a batch of technology in a bid to make its proprietary Silverlight video codec more palatable to content creators and users.
The company today announced plans to release Internet Information Services (IIS) Media Services 3.0, which enables the delivery of interactive, high-definition-quality Live Smooth Streaming, and new tools to simplify the process of putting Silverlight encoded videos online.
Microsoft will show off developments in Silverlight 4 at the International Broadcasting Conference in Amsterdam, including native multicast support and support for offline digital rights management (DRM).
The firm will also release its IIS Smooth Streaming Transport Protocol and Protected Interoperable File Format specification, which is being done under its faux open-source-style agreement called Microsoft Community Promise.
