On-Demand Video Transcoding and Delivery
Widen's hosted video storage and web-based distribution system allows for easy cataloging, archiving and delivery of all your videos, whatever the format. Internal and external users will immediately benefit from Widen's video asset management capabilities:
- Online access to all video assets: Quickly search through all of your company's videos using the same advanced search capabilities of our Digital Asset Management system.
- Hosted service takes care of internal storage and bandwidth constraints: Generally, corporate IT departments cringe when they deal with video. File size and bandwidth requirements can quickly choke most company IT pipelines. A high-res image file is usually around 100 megabytes. A 5-minute broadcast quality video is easily ten times the size. This also requires either ten times the bandwidth to download the file, or your users will experience ten times slower performance...why not let us handle it?
- Full length file previews prior to ordering: Watch the video from within the system before ordering to ensure you are getting exactly the video you want.
- On-demand transcoding to virtually any video format: Store one hi-res file and allow users to order the file transcoded and delivered in virtually any format, including QuickTime, Windows Media, Flash, DV, HDV, DVCpro HD, Mpeg and others.
- Delivery via linked email: Delivering large videos via the internet is like running an obstacle course. Look out for that 10 Meg files size limit on emails, or...oops, forgot there was a firewall blocking access to external ftp sites. Widen intelligently delivers large video files by placing a hyperlink to an external pick-up webpage within an email. Clicking on the link takes you directly to a page where you can easily download the file individually, or download a zip file of multiple videos.
