The viewing experience is dramatically better than traditional streamed media because Velocity Interactive Broadband TV™ channels use vector– not frame-oriented transcoding. As a result, the picture quality is excellent even in large-sized playback.An IBTV™ channel goes far beyond simply a site that features streaming video.

Video forms the very core of the IBTV™ user experience, to which Velocity adds seamlessly integrated and engaging interactive features (such as user-generated content, chats, blogs, search and retrieval, eCommerce, download and print, and so on) to create a more compelling and resonant user experience.

Because video remains at the heart of the Velocity IBTV™ channel experience, not an adjunct, the channel redefines the user experience and fundamentally alters user perceptions of and interactions with your organization. Your online presence becomes more compelling and “stickier.”

Video and interactive content seamlessly co-exist on the channel, dramtically simplifying navigation and encouraging user involvement. Video content plays as a part of the main screen and not in a separate window that may obscure essential other content, and only a simple browser plug-in (and not separate media software) is required for playback.User interaction is intuitive, quick and easy.

With a Velocity Interactive Broadband TV™ channel, load times are minimized (a second or two depending on connection speeds versus ten seconds or more for much streamed content). And because all of the content is integrated into a single interface, your customers, prospects, members and visitors are not forced to navigate away from your messages in order to view video content, nor are they subjected to repeated clicks and page loads.Interactive features can be programmed in conjunction with, not separate from, video content.

And with a Velocity IBTV™ channel, interactive features, such as document displays, eCommerce opportunities, graphics, animations, games, chats, even testing and attendance-taking, can be “cued” to occur at specific points during video playback to generate interest, drive demand, build traffic and promote sales.
