The Tuesday announcement came after an accord in which Move Networks will use its streaming technology to help operate Microsoft's Silverlight Web television service.
The first demonstration of the collaboration is live Web transmissions of the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver, available at www.demcon- vention.com.
"Our close relationship with Microsoft demonstrates their confidence in our ability to unlock the tremendous potential of Internet television for audiences, media owners, advertisers and service providers," said John Edwards, CEO of Move Networks, in a news release.
Move Networks Inc., based in American Fork, provides Internet video services for broadcasters and publishers that include Fox, ABC, Disney and Discovery, as well as the NFL.
Move Networks declined to provide the amount of the Microsoft investment.
