Xing Technology was a live audio broadcast software company founded in Arroyo Grande, California in 1989 by former networking executive Howard Gordon.
Gordon founded Xing on the basis of a simple JPEG decoding library that he had developed.
It attracted the attention of Chris Eddy, who had developed a technique for processing Discrete cosine transforms (DCT) efficiently through software.
Xing released a handful of network products before StreamWorks, the first streaming audio and video system for the Internet, with support for both live and pre-encoded sources.
In 1998, Xing partnered with SimplyTV to launch a service to offer near-broadcast quality video on demand.
