simultaneous and consistent. Imagine if you could lead your prospects though a complex simulation of your product or service interactively. You can even get double the mileage out of your trade show booth, capture specific presentations and archive them or stream them live.
What is Streaming?
The term streaming has become fairly broad in definition and now generally refers to media, such as video and audio, that is delivered over a network. Often this term has a more specific connotation for movies that are delivered to personal computers over the Internet.
Rich and Streaming media has become an attractive vehicle for online advertising, product demonstrations, Internet and Intranet video broadcasts due to the growth of consumer broadband Internet access, inexpensive, fast PC's and innovative network optimization technologies.
Especially for on-line advertisers who have received disappointing returns from regular animated GIF banner ads, rich-media streaming ads have become an attractive online advertising option. Streaming media ads tend to return up to six times the response that traditional banner ads bring.
