Case Study: Webcasting The Who
In-depth, behind-the scenes case study of the webcasts of The Who concerts in Europe in the Summer of 2006. Digital Rapids StreamZ systems are recognized for their contribution, with comments including "For the encoders, we went with our usual choice: Digital Rapids, which produces very robust, high-quality encoders. We used two Digital Rapids StreamZ servers (one for backup), which proved to be the key to keeping the quality of the 320Kbps streams as high as possible. It was essential for us to use a reliable and stable platform to encode, and the StreamZ delivered perfectly."

And if your workflow requires both a transcoding and an encoding solution, and speed is paramount, strongly consider putting a StreamZ system on your short list." Read the full review (PDF).
