GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina University's official athletics website, www.ecupirates.com, has launched an enhanced and upgraded Pirates All-Access media player in partnership with CBS College Sports.
The new Pirates All-Access is powered by Microsoft's Silverlight technology, providing increased web browser compatibility and a redesigned user-friendly, state-of-the-art interface. Those users whose computers do not have Silverlight, which was utilized by NBC during its internet coverage of the Olympics in Beijing, will be required to perform a quick one-time download of Silverlight before accessing the new video player.
The enhanced Pirates All-Access gives fans the highest-quality streaming experience and the most online video coverage of East Carolina Athletics. The new multimedia player also offers an improved search engine, which allows users to quickly locate videos they are interested in. Fans can search by sport, type of video and date to easily navigate to the newest content.
Pirates All-Access is a subscription online service that offers live and on-demand streaming video of East Carolina Athletics and other features highlighting ECU's teams and student-athletes. Streaming video of live games across several sports will once again be available via Pirates All-Access throughout the 2008-09 academic year.
