Dyyno Lets You Become Your Own Broadcaster

The PMWC 2010 is over. If you did not attend, you can still watch it here. Start-up company, Dyyno, captured the entire event in real time and put it online for the world to see.

When I walked by the company’s booth, I didn’t think much of the technology. But after talking to Dyyno’s head of marketing, Vamshi Sriperumbudur, I realized their broadcast system can do what Wordpress has done for blogging to online video content. Everyone has a blog now, soon they will have their own TV station.

When Sriperumbudur asked me if I wanted to visit Dyyno’s headquarters. I hesitated. But curiosity landed me in a car with him.

After a 10 minute drive, we got off an exit near Stanford University. Enter Dyyno and see a small Christmas tree still up and walk in a maze around its tall cubicles. I haven’t been in that many start-ups in Silicon Valley, but it’s always fun to raid the kitchen — it tends to be fully stocked of healthy food. I got coffee with soy milk and a pear and went to interview Raj Jaswa, the CEO.

We recorded the interview using the Dyyno setup — a Canon video camera, an EZ Grabber to turn video into real-time streaming, technology licensed from Stanford University, a laptop, and Internet access. Using the Ez Grabber to capture the video, Dyyno’s technology streams the video to your personal channel, and then lets you share it through your blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Jaswa is trying to shake up the TV world, the same way the Internet uprooted print media. The video is broadcast in 1080p and can be stored on Dyyno’s servers for free. Not only can you steam live video, you can set up time to broadcast your video shows and also have them available on demand. Right now, you must have a PC to turn your camera into a one-man broadcast station. However, Jaswa plans on expanding the service to Macs. And soon, you’ll be able to access the videos on your mobile phone.

Unlike Ustream and Youtube, Dyyno provides full broadcasting capabilities and virtually eliminates the cost of broadcasting. People like me, corporations, and anyone wanting to capture live events would find this service useful.

After the interview, Jaswa created a boonspoon channel for me. When you click here, you’ll be able to watch our entire interview. Make sure you scroll down past the black screen to watch the interview filed under the “Videos On Demand” section.
