General Harmonics is entering into a strategic partnership and joint venture with AITP Europe AS, the company said.
The joint venture, to be named Beatstone, will bring to market new technologies and concepts in an interactive, socially driven, innovative music streaming experience for artists, consumers, labels and music industry professionals.
The Beatstone platform will utilize General Harmonics´ proprietary DynamicMedia Cloud platform, high-efficiency media delivery mechanism, and interactive media format as its technology backbone.
The DynamicMedia format preserves full fidelity 16 bit / 44.1 kHz audio with a 20 times reduced data set and streamed at 70 kb per second without loss of quality. In addition to full fidelity audio, the Beatstone platform will also deliver synchronized video and lyrics across multiple networks.
