Advantages for TV Programmers


ActiveVideo® is an immersive television experience that enables network operators, programmers, advertisers and even viewers to create and share a new generation of television programming. Based on standard Web technologies for authoring and delivery, ActiveVideo infuses television with the best features of the web, dramatically expanding the programming, navigation and advertising possibilities available to viewers.


How ActiveVideo Gets Delivered
 
 
Engage the Viewers
In order to keep up with the coveted 15-29 year old demographic, ActiveVideo allows programmers to remain focused on what they do best, creating dynamic content to engage their audiences.Today’s audiences are demanding cutting-edge, interactive elements from their television viewing experience — ActiveVideo delivers. Now, just like on the Internet, you can rapidly innovate new programming, learn from accurate, detailed viewer response data, and make immediate refinements — shortening time-to-success!

Develop Once — Deploy Everywhere
Only the ActiveVideo Distribution Network (AVDN) enables you to develop programming once using standard Web tools, then deliver it to tens of millions of viewers, regardless of last-mile network topology or what set-top they’re using. Return on investment is far superior to alternative approaches tied to a single set-top box configuration, which may require complex development, specialized talent and lengthy testing — and can only reach a subset of the market AVDN can reach

Familiar Tools — Dynamic Results
The ActiveVideo Editor (AVE) uses standard Web tools and technology, allowing you to leverage your talent to create immersive programming just as quickly and efficiently as you would create content for the Web.Your ActiveVideo programming can incorporate the same elements that make Web sites and video so easy to create and change — MPEG, QuickTime, WindowsMedia, RealVideo, Flash, Shockwave, XML feeds, RSS feeds and more. A WYSIWYG design interface makes layout a breeze, and the integrated coding interface allows for the use of common scripting language to provide all the interactivity and functionality of the Web. No special skills required; any experienced Web developer can do it for you.

Increase Ad Revenues
In addition to giving the viewers what they want, programmers can also deliver targeted, trackable Web-style advertising on TV. ActiveVideo’s lean-in experience will generate higher revenues by delivering “auditable impressions,” just like on the Internet, but within TV’s much bigger markets.

Bring forth new revenue streams from your video archives, re-use programming already on your broadband site, presented complete with pre-rolls, banners, onscreen branding and integrated menus. Offer recommendations and personalized menus to make it easy for them to find the videos they’re most likely to select!
