Content Delivery Network (CDN) Leader Helps
Streamline the Distribution of Accessible Media for Visually and
Hearing Impaired Students
Limelight Networks, Inc. (“Limelight”) (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global
leader in digital content delivery, today announced the Limelight
OrchestrateTM (“Orchestrate”) Video service is helping the
Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) to efficiently and
cost-effectively deliver accessible media to visually and/or
hearing impaired K-12 students worldwide.
“We need to create software and user experiences that are
specific to our students’ needs, and then deliver a huge library of
media assets to Macs, iPads, PCs, mobile apps and Roku,” said Kyle
Sisk, Information Systems Manager at DCMP. “With Limelight, we are
now able to scale to meet the increasing demand for online delivery
of content to a wide variety of connected devices around the world.
Since implementing Limelight, support issues have pretty much gone
away.”
As a non-profit organization relying on federal grants, DCMP
leverages the latest technology to achieve cost savings and
efficiency. Neither is an easy task as DCMP must be able to handle
varied media environments and devices for its clients, ranging from
schools with very low bandwidth and antiquated equipment to those
with the technology and connectivity capable of supporting full
1080 HD bit rates. Fortunately, DCMP has been on the cutting-edge
of software development for years, and builds web environments and
native apps that facilitate accessibility. Limelight’s
advanced technology and API gives them access ‘under the hood’ to
create software and user experiences that are specific to their
students’ needs.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see how the Orchestrate platform
is able to improve access to essential learning tools for thousands
of students,” said George Vonderhaar, chief sales officer at
Limelight. “We look forward to continuing to work with DCMP to
provide an efficient and reliable media delivery experience for
their students, on any device, around the world.”
