New API Documentation and Sample Code

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 05:47:44 +0000

The Delve APIs provide developers with the tools they need to create interactive video experiences and integrate with existing internal practices. In order to further aid developers in their development efforts we have rendered our API documentation in HTML format and have added many examples of sample code. Developers can now gain access to our API documentation and sample code through their Delve account by accessing the ‘Developer Tools’ tab under ‘Settings’. Sample code examples include the creation of an upload media form and the adding of custom video properties to media.

New Feature: Geographic Location and Domain Control

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:25:17 +0000

We’re excited to announce a new feature that has been released to all customers. Previously in beta, Delve has added the ability to set geographic and domain restrictions to content. Users can now go to the “Settings” link in the Delve console to control where and on which domains content can be played by creating ‘Restriction Rules’. Rules can either restrict content from playing in certain locations/domains (black lists) or permit content to play in certain locations/domains (white lists). Created rules can then be applied to both channels and/or individual media in an account.

To enable restrictions, create a ‘Restriction Rule’ under ‘Settings’

Created rules can then be applied to media and/or channels in the ‘Properties’

Hello! My name is Koichi, a software developer at Delve Networks.

I’m pleased to announce the recent release of our new 64-bit transcoding architecture. By moving our architecture to 64-bit, we were able to decrease the transcoding time for media by 50%. As a result, our clients are able to publish their newly uploaded video to the web even faster than before.

This is one such example of how we continously work to enhance our video platform for our clients, current and future. At Delve, we never sleep!

Delve CEO interviewed about Cloud Computing

admin — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:41:20 +0000

Delve’s CEO, Alex Castro, was recently interviewed by The Register for a story about cloud computing. Delve has been an early pioneer in leveraging the power of the cloud to deliver value to customers. One could say we’ve had our heads in the cloud for some time. Our Chief Scientist, Soam Acharya, and our CEO, Alex Castro, were both at Cornell University in the mid-1990s along with cloud computing luminaries like Amazon’s CTO, Verner Vogels, and RightScale’s CTO and Founder, Thorsten von Eicken. More recently, several members of the Delve team helped develop cutting edge cloud infrastructure while working at Amazon.

Cloud computing represents the next in a long list of disruptive technologies that will heavily impact the industry, following in the foot-steps of first generation Web-enabled applications, client-server computing, and mainframes. At Delve, we’ve developed our video publishing platform to leverage the best of what the cloud has to offer, and this translates to better value for our customers.
