As television, film and production companies extend their reach from traditional broadcasting formats towards the wider viewing platforms of the internet and video on demand, VSI offers the technical excellence and in-house abilities to support this content delivery expansion. VSI has developed new technologies and techniques incorporating SAMI and Flash Video subtitle files, as well as a whole range of other formats, to meet IPTV requirements. These new subtitling systems are ideal for showing international video projects to a multi-lingual audience over the internet or a local area network. Only one video file is needed, therefore production costs are reduced, as is the bandwidth, hosting space and risk of file indiscretion. Subtitles can appear below the picture so they do not obstruct any part of the image, which is very important as video files are often greatly compressed to reduce bandwidth and download time. Finally, these systems use software already installed on most computers, such as Windows Media Player, making the transition to IPTV effortless for the audience. |
