One of NetSecrets' major brands is PlanetStream which provides a range of services linked to the hosting and distribution of online video and audio content. This service covers on demand streaming, live streaming plus hosting of internet TV and radio channels.
One thing you'll notice on the new site is the use of a "video presenter". This comprises a brief spoken introduction to the site or section of the site as appropriate. If done badly this kind of thing can be irritating but done well it can impart a lot of information very quickly. Let us know what you think of it please.
The main services offered by PlanetStream are:
- On Demand Streaming
- Live Event Streaming
- Internet TV & Radio
- Production Services
- Secure Streaming / Digital Rights Management
The most exciting recent development has been the addition of the H.264 Codec to our range of encoding and streaming options. Known as the "HD Codec" H.264 gives remarkable results on both live and archived video. Its clarity and quality are better than anything else around and uses a bitrate that is compatible with the majority of ADSL connections, even the cheaper end of the market.
PlanetStream offer a free trial of the hosting service so call them on 01386 792972 or email helpdesk@planetstream.net for more information or to give it a try.
All industry forecasts are definite that commercial websites without video content will be left behind in the next year or so. Video is no longer a bit of fun or a "nice to have" for your website. It's becoming an essential!
The big boys, with their unlimited funds, are already doing it and so the smaller operator has to follow suit. Problem is if you use a low quality free service like YouTube you are shouting to the world that you are small time and cheapskate. Speak to PlanetStream to discover how you can match the quality and image of major players without busting the bank!
wow video projects are so much fun... nice breaks from the common drudgery of mySQL e-commerce sites
