Multimedia Presentations with Playmagix

Viametrix' broadcast solutions controlled by Playmagix allow broadcasters to deliver interactive text, graphics, etc. files along with their streaming media to a global audience. This functionality is most popular with enterprise and distance learning streaming requirements. However, there are many more uses of multimedia presentations that are not being fully exploited due to the cost and implementation difficulty of non-Vivian solutions.

Rather than just delivering audio / video and streaming ads, Vivian broadcasters can easily implement additional information/audience interactivity using the integrated, browser-based Playmagix, e.g.:

• For each audio/video stream as it is played
  • Support interactive shopping, e.g., coordinated E-Commerce links to purchase the song/CD/video subject
  • Coordinate the presentation of anything that can be delivered in a browser using standard HTML including:
    • HTML links to obtain interactive feedback from individual audience members
    • Text/graphic ads accompanying streaming media
    • Text-based closed captioning 
    • Spreadsheet presentations
    • Adobe PDF files
• Play individual audio/video streams
  • In a specific order
  • For a specified amount of time
  • In order or randomly selected from broadcaster-specified groups of streams
• Change multimedia content to be delivered without re-encoding audio/video 
• Display a schedule of content that will be broadcast at specified times

Using the ability to deliver specific web pages to your audience at specific times, you can easily create the ability to ensure that your audience members are not only watching your broadcast as it happens by having them personally respond to web pages delivered with the media stream.  This is an incredibly easy and efficient way to gain implement audience member accountability - something that other multicast systems simply cannot do.
