Kyte delivers first third-party video publishing app to the App Store for the iPhone 3GS

We’re excited to announce video publishing support for the new iPhone 3GS with Kyte Mobile Producer for iPhone, which is now available for purchase in the App Store on iTunes. Kyte Mobile Producer for iPhone enables Kyte users to easily record and distribute video and photos to their Kyte Channels directly from the iPhone 3GS. The app is very easy to use - record a video, click broadcast, and it's instantly live on your channel.

The application also works for previous iPhone models, but for photos only.

Kyte improves live stream experience

Hey Kyte Fans,

We have updated the Kyte Mobile Producer application for Nokia S60 phones to provide you with the best possible live streaming experience, regardless of network conditions. With wifi or a good 3G connection, the full stream is transmitted live, allowing your viewers to watch and chat in real time. If network conditions are poor, the app sends as much of the stream as possible, still creating the live experience for your viewers.

The cool new feature is that the app also stores the video locally and when your live stream is finished, it uploads any missing footage to our servers. The video is repaired behind the scenes, resulting in an improved on-demand viewing experience. So you can have your cake and eat it too - create the live experience and also have optimal video quality for subsequent viewing.

Here is an example of a live stream with a bad network connection. As you can see, the video freezes while audio continues -- a frustrating viewing experience.

"Before" - without video repair

And here is the same video optimized with the video repair feature in the new version of Kyte Mobile Producer -- dropped video frames are restored, resulting in a much better viewing experience.

"After" - with video repair

Users that already have Kyte Mobile Producer on a Nokia S60 will receive an automatic upgrade notice when they turn on their phones and launch the app.

New users can install Kyte Mobile Producer on supported S60 phones by pointing their mobile browsers to http://s60.kyte.tv and following the prompts.

Happy Kyting!
