TomahawkWorld (www.tomahawkworld.com) has launched after more than three years of intensive development.
TomahawkWorld is a video venture with global reach and is a free service for users. Contents are delivered through the Internet, and specifically, designed to deliver and playback High-Definition video of types 720p, 1080p, 4K and beyond.
It is probably the only video website to offer movies and other video content with audio in FLAC. The FLAC is a lossless professional audio format to offer very high quality audio.
TomahawkWorld does not downgrade the quality or resolution of videos uploaded and delivers the contents to the intended audience without any transcode.
It not only offer videos but also offers audio only contents.
It is radical on how it distributes content over the Internet, it does not stream at all and does not use Adobe Flash player to display videos.
TomahawkWorld uses an innovative distributed peer-to-peer (p2p) content delivery protocol called netTsunami which is researched and developed by the TomahawkWorld itself.
The objective of the netTsunami protocol is to save bandwidth on High Definition, 4k and beyond videos (e.g. 8K) and make a facility on the Internet to release movies and other professional contents.
TomahawkWorld could also be used by other video-websites to efficiently and cost effectively distribute their videos.
The netTsunami protocol is independent of the TomahawkWorld website. Once the media is encoded into netTsunami, the metadata file could be distributed via social media networks (e.g. Facebook) or distributed via your own website or even copy to a CD or Thumb drive and pass it. Once the file is obtained, just drag and drop on to the TomahawkWorld’s netTsunami media player to watch or listen.
TomahawkWorld will soon release middleware necessary for ISPs and other telcos to cache netTsunami Tracker protocol and p2p storage protocol, thereby, accelerating downloads and saving Internet bandwidth for end-users and ISPs.
Present software release is for FreeBSD operating system and Linux version will follow soon.
TomahawkWorld intends to make available the netTsunami software release for Windows by Q2 2014, and Apple Mac and Android will follow thereafter.
Sagara Wijetunga is the inventor of the netTsunami protocol.
TomahawkWorld is a fully owned entity of Tomahawk Holdings Limited, Sri Lanka (www.tomahawk.lk).
