Webcasting

What’s webcasting?

Webcasting is broadcasting video over the Internet – a training video, an investor presentation, a video sales presentation involving PowerPoint™ and more. It can be seconds or hours long. Allow anyone to watch or restrict your audience. Choose to have people watch at a prescribed time or at a time of their choosing. You can even allow quick downloads to desktop, allowing off-line viewing at any time.

But it’s the video compression, not the method of delivery, that makes the biggest difference. Our extensive R&D has resulted in crisper, faster loading webcasts. Read more about video compression.

Streaming Video

Streaming video does not download to a user's computer. It's played off the server, and can be more effective on bandwidth than progressive download. If more people are likely to watch the webcast simultaneously, streaming video is a better solution.

Progressive Download

A progressive download appears like a stream but it is actually being downloaded by the user's computer in a similar sense to watching videos on YouTube. These videos usually have a play bar that fills in as the video is being downloaded; the user is able to watch any of the video that is filled in.

Proven effectiveness

Webcasts are proven four to seven times more effective than text and photos . It’s one of the best ways to increase uptake and results. Think about it: as a busy executive, do you prefer reading reams of type, or sitting back and watching as a speaker paints a picture with words?

A video library with security clearances

Wouldn’t it be great if different audiences could access the webcasts important to them on demand? What if each webcast came with a table of contents so that viewers could easily find the section they’re looking for instead of sitting through the whole thing? What if you could attach different security clearances to different groups of videos in your library? Welcome to eMotion Picture Studios portal solutions!

Integrating PowerPoint™ into webcasts

The most compelling thing about a video is the human element. A personal presentation has a magic that’s impossible to duplicate. But even the most talented business speakers rely on diagrams, charts and bullets to illustrate their points.

That’s where we come in. We marry video to even the most detailed PowerPoint presentations. We can even do this with live event web casting.

Speakers talk right alongside PowerPoint presentations custom-cued to match the speaker’s pace. Viewers can pause, rewind or fast-forward the speaker and their presentation in one go. They can also take the presentation with them as a download.
