BEVERLY, Mass. - The Endicott College athletic department will be launching an enhanced and upgraded All-Access multimedia player in partnership with CBS College Sports, as announced by Director of Athletics Brian Wylie. Endicott will debut the new technology on its webcast of the women's volleyball match against Western New England College on October 8, 2008.

The new All-Access multimedia player is powered by Microsoft's Silverlight technology, providing increased web browser compatibility and a redesigned user-friendly, state-of-the-art interface. Those that do not have Silverlight on their computers, which was utilized by NBC during its Olympic internet coverage in Beijing, will be required to perform a quick one-time download of Silverlight before accessing the new video player.

The enhanced All-Access multimedia player gives fans the highest-quality streaming experience and the most online video coverage of Endicott 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.

Endicott All-Access is a completely free online service that offers live and on-demand streaming video of Endicott athletics and other features highlighting the Gulls' teams and student-athletes. Streaming video of over 18 live games will be available via Endicott All-Access throughout the 2008-09 season.

Fans are encouraged to sign up now by clicking here or by registering through the All-Access broadband graphic link located in the top-right corner of www.ecgulls.com. Get online! It's game time!
