Jilion Commercializes Highly Anticipated SublimeVideo Cloud-based HTML5 Player Service
By Jilion Jime Sa, PRNETuesday, March 29, 2011
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, March 30, 2011 - Jilion(R) today announced the commercialization and immediate
availability of SublimeVideo(R), the world's first cloud-based HTML5 video
player service.
Created in early 2010 to demo Jilion's HTML5 skills, SublimeVideo Player
rapidly generated huge interest worldwide. "We have been amazed by the
response, gaining over 9,000 twitter followers and more than 1 million unique
visitors to our demo page. All without spending a dime on marketing." said
Zeno Crivelli, Jilion's co-founder and lead developer.
"We knew the player was sleek and functional, but we wanted to push the
envelope much further to be able to deliver our customers with all the
benefits of HTML5, without any of the associated complexity." said Mehdi
Aminian, Jilion's co-founder.
To achieve that goal Jilion decided in April 2010 to build a cloud-based
service platform that automatically provides all its customers with the
latest and most widely compatible version of SublimeVideo Player.
"With the ever growing variety of browsers and devices out there, this is
a truly beautiful approach: If we receive bug reports we often ask users to
simply reload their page to show them the problem has been fixed! It never
ceases to amaze them, and us!" added Zeno Crivelli.
Today, after a successful 6-month beta period with thousands of
participating sites, over 50 transparent player updates and millions of video
page views, SublimeVideo is ready for prime-time.
User response:
"The Sublime video player has set a real benchmark for high quality HTML5
video players. By using it on littlebigplanet.com, it's allowed us to deliver
our videos across a broad spectrum of devices and operating systems to a much
wider audience, including the latest smartphone handsets - an ever increasing
proportion of our site visitors. Additionally, the Jilion team have been
really helpful and supportive, allowing us to deliver the best experience for
our users." said Tom Kiss, Community Manager at Media Molecule, a Sony
Computer Entertainment company. (littlebigplanet.com)
"HTML5 video can be a bag of hurt if you implement it on your own. The
fact that SublimeVideo makes it so we can just drop in a line of Javascript
and it works consistently across all the browsers is amazing. The great
design and thoughtful user experience just make it even better." said Scott
Meinzer, Co-Founder of tap tap tap, developer of Camera+. (campl.us)
"We needed to leverage HTML5 video for Method & Craft because we knew iOS
device use would be high among our visitors. The SublimeVideo player not only
delivered on that need in spades, but also looks absolutely gorgeous which is
a big deal to design nerds like us." said Phil Coffman, Founder of Method &
Craft (methodandcraft.com)
Pricing & Availability:
SublimeVideo paid plans start at $9.90 per month. A free & unlimited test
plan is also provided to developers. All plans are available immediately. For
