Issues & Answers
The explosion of the internet has brought us
to a new threshold in media convergence. Our computers look more like
televisions and our televisions act more like computers. All of this
technology has created a universe of challenges for the website and video
content owner.

The Challenge
The real challenge is to utilize a system
designed for text and images to delivery dynamic, quality streaming video.
That's where we come in. We've been working with Streaming Media for years
and understand what will work and where it will work best.
It's true you can deliver video at 28.8, but no matter what player or
technology you use, the experience will be marginal at best. We create
multiple bandwidth files targeted to the specific audience. If we know most
of the audience will be on dial-up, there are specific things we can do to
make sure the viewers of your content have the best experience possible for
their connection. If most of your viewers are going to be online at their
office or on a similar high-speed connection, there are methodologies we
deploy to maximize their experience as well.
No matter what the connection speed, the real challenge is to provide
frameworks that allow the content provider control and accountability for
their product. That's where the expertise provided by the team at
BroadbandVideo.com can take your website from static text to dynamic video
faster and easier than you ever imagined!
The Technologies
There are now a myriad of choices in video
delivery on the web. The question is, which are best for your company? The
team at Broadbandvideo.com has spent years analyzing technologies,
frameworks and methodologies to be able to provide you with answers to your
media delivery questions.
We've come to the conclusion that in order to allow you to reach the largest
possible audience with the least amount of hassle - we had to hit the lowest
common denominator with our technology. That's why we've standardized on the
Windows Media platform, since it comes native on 90% of the computers
produced today. That allows us to eliminate unnecessary downloads and
inconvenience for our customers.
The Audience
Cable modems, DSL, Fixed Wireless and LANs
all mean one thing - delivery of mountains of data and bandwidth where once
there was but a trickle. Most of today's web users have found that dial-up
connections simply won't serve their information infrastructure needs.
At home and at the office, broadband is the key to speedy information and
streaming media entertainment. Just how big is this audience? Here's some
insight:

Video Encoding Services For Websites & Corporate Intranets
Microsoft NetShow, or
Windows Media as Microsoft now calls it, can allow you to stream video
on demand across the Web or a corporate Intranet. For purposes of our
discussion of Windows Media encoding services, our focus is on how we

No Expensive
Hardware or Server Software Is Required
Depending upon the volume of
simultaneous video streams you'd like to broadcast, you may not even
need a dedicated video server or even one of Microsoft's software
server packages. In most situations, you'll be able to stream your
video directly from your existing web server using your existing ISP.
Please feel free to call us at 630-690-7611 if you'd like to discuss
whether you can use the Microsoft NetShow - Windows Media format
without any additional hardware or software.
The Windows Media - NetShow
format is probably the most complex of the streaming video formats
available in that it allows codec independence. Unless you're into
audio and video in a very big way, these technical aspects which
differentiate the Windows Media format from both Real Video and Vivo
aren't of much interest. For a complete information about the Windows
Media format and the server options which you can purchase, please

Improvements & Upgrade Price Protection
Real Video and Windows Media
are constantly improving the quality of their streaming video encoding
and player products. Real Networks, for example is now in their 8th
version and Windows Media is in their 7th version in only 5 years.
Over time, this has resulted in higher quality audio and video. At
some point in the future, you may want your videos re-encoded using
newer technology which delivers higher quality playback. To protect
our customers from the high cost of having us re-encode their videos,
and to insure that our customers can always have state of the art
streaming video available on their sites, we guarantee to re-encode
your original videos using the latest technology available at 50% of
what you originally paid. This offer applies only to the original
videos we encoded, using the same format and same speed selections and
is good for five years from the date of your original
order. CyberTech Media was the first company in the streaming media
industry, and to the best of our knowledge, we're still the only
company to offer this protection to our customers. |
