The BroadbandVideo Broadcasting System was
designed for those who are creating video on
regular
basis and want control over the management
of that video. It is a complete solution for
taking video content, whether it’s live, on
videotape or a digital file and delivering it to
users on your website. The capabilities are broad
ranging and offer a unique way to interact with
your content.
The Broadcasting System consists of 5 components,
each of which interacts with one another to
deliver the resulting elements into a compelling
video presentation. These components consist of
the following:

more)
 Using the Broadcasting System, you become the
producer and decide what elements to use where,
what they look like and how they act. You can
insert graphics, text, flash animations and
literally any other elements you can imagine and
have them all triggered by events that happen in
the video. You can insert commercials, promos,
opens, closes just like a real television
broadcast station. In fact, the Broadcasting
System was designed to mimic how a real television
broadcasting station works.
The BroadbandVideo Broadcast Encoder is a
customized version of the popular Windows Media
Encoder that allows you to create multiple
bandwidth files on standard Wintel machines. Our
expertise in video has allowed us to create a
general-use codec that operates well at 28.8, 56k,
100k and 200k - insuring that your viewing
audience has the best possible video experience
regardless of internet connection speed. We can
also customize the encoder to handle live events
from your location with additional insertion
elements (open, close, commercial) available at
the press of a button. Our encoding methodology
provides your content viewers with a "click and
play" experience and is the key to interfacing
with the other elements of the BBV Broadcasting
System.
At the heart of BroadbandVideo beats a mighty
bandwidth beast. We've set up Windows Media
Servers and placed them at one of the industries
best-known facilities, ViaWest. These servers have
maximum exposure to the internet at large with a
pipe capable of bursting to 100mbps data
throughput. This insures your viewers video needs,
and video experience, will be the best possible.
We've got 24 hour a day monitoring, data
measurement reporting and all the extras you'd
expect from a world-class hosting facility.
The BroadbandVideo Station Manager is an HTML
interface that allows you to manage all the
aspects of your video assets. Indexing is a key
feature providing you the ability to insert
timecode, which marks and identifies each video
segment. No traditional editing suite or software
is needed saving you countless hours of work. The
Station Manager allows control over these
important features;
• Indexing - Identifying start & stop points in
a show.
• Reporting - Customer generated reports showing
how many times a show or clip is watched and for
how long.
• Show Builder - Provides for assembly of shows
from various clips. Clips can include video
content such as programming, commercials, promotionals, opens, closes, or shows themselves.
• Ad Serving - Rotation of ads, which can include
banners, video or other content elements within
the player window.
• Event Triggering - Allows for triggering of
various HTML elements within the player window all
controlled by the video content.
• Control Buttons - Complete control over the look
and feel of the control buttons and how they are
laid out.
• Skins Definitions - Controls the look and feel
of the player window

Once you’ve performed the necessary editing and
content management, the resulting hyperlinks can
be inserted in your website. When a user clicks on
the hyperlinks on your site, the video window pops
and plays the video and any other elements you
have specified.
This dedicated server can host all the elements
related to your video / multimedia presentation
for easy and speedy delivery. The frames around
the BroadbandVideo Digital Player can utilize any
and all of the following content in any
combination:
1) PowerPoint Slides
2) HTML and associated logo branding elements
3) The BBV Built-In Chat Component
4) BBV (or any third party) Interactive Polling
5) Data-base Drawn Content (from your servers or
ours)
6) E-learning Components (questionnaires, tests,
etc.)
7) Almost ANY content that can be displayed in a
standard browser window
The result of years of work, the BroadbandVideo
Digital Player draws on Microsoft Windows Media
technology to deliver an unsurpassed online video
experience to the internet video viewer. Every PC
with Windows 98 service pack 2 and above has the
software ALREADY INSTALLED to view our product.
Because of the integrated nature of this player,
updates happen automatically and don't require a
restart of your PC if an update is required.
By utilizing the core Active-X components of
Windows Media Technology coupled with database
driven content frames, we're able to present a
totally customizable environment that can be
managed from a simple interface. We have many
different versions of the player which accommodate
synchronized PowerPoint slides, live event
information, audio-only streaming and many other
application-specific configurations.
