Streaming Services

True streaming is superior to the progressive-download that is usually offered on low cost web sites. This technology is only available from special streaming-servers with high-capacity connections to the Internet.

Streaming automatically feeds a signal optimized for the connection speed of the visitor. The nature of the stream precludes casual piracy of your content, as well.

You can choose to embed the player or have a link to invoke a stand-alone player. In the later case, your visitor can navigate away from your presentation page and the clip will continue to play.

Audio Clips

Musicians know that having quality song samples on their web sites is their best marketing tool.

Usually, posting low-bitrate song samples in mp3 format is sufficient and streaming is not needed. However, streaming can provide extra quality, which automatically adjusts for the visitor's connection.

Video Clips

Video does need to be streamed if you want your visitors to be able to view it without them waiting to download the whole file. And who wants to wait? Your visitors want to see it now! Click the image to launch the video
