What Is Silverlight?

Silverlight is an emerging browser plugin technology from Microsoft. It allows web developers to quickly create really interesting rich media applications using standard Windows Media files and commonly understood technologies the Javascript and XML. It's a lightweight plugin - much like Flash, but does not require proprietary software or specialized programming skills to create some really cool media experiences.

For many organizations that have spend many years creating archives of Windows Media content, Silverlight provides a great way to add new life and interactivity to your audio and video without the time consuming and sometimes impossible process of re-encoding all of the content into another format. This alone is a huge benefit!

Does EastBay Media Support Silverlight?

Yes, yes we do. Our EastBayCDN Windows Media streaming service fully supports the Silverlight platform. You are ready to go for as little as $59 a month!
