// Video Online

TAG specializes in Flash and Flash video. Our team has been on the bleeding edge of development, creative and implementation of Flash Video applications since we helped Vitalstream troubleshoot and launch the first Flash Media Server network with Macromedia in 2003. Since then, we have created Video Management Systems and custom video display systems for clients such as Kia, Tremor Networks and others.

Aura has relationships with most content delivery networks which allows us to be intimately familiar with their systems and launch projects quickly and efficiently.

From Flash Media Server streaming to creating custom Flash video metadata to custom video players; Aura has you covered.

VIDEO FEATURES

  • Custom players including individual players to complex 'screening rooms'
  • Automatic 'sniffing' of the viewers connection to ascertain the best stream size to serve
  • Determine where the viewer is located and deliver a stream from the closest server
  • Read data from video file such as video time, frames, meta data and encoding rate so player can be generic and scale to video feed
  • Close captioning (embedded into video, no external files needed)
  • Video smoothing and de-boxing upon playback
  • Viewer controls for hue, contrast, brightness and saturation
  • Hot spotting portions of the video for users to click-thru
  • Pre-roll, mid-roll and post roll advertising applications

ENCODING

TAG utilizes the latest technologies to encode video for online delivery. Our experience has shown there is no cookie cutter way to encode video. We do not press a few buttons and encode. We do it by hand over many rounds.

  • Encode from most any source
  • Custom meta data creation within Flash video files
  • Hand encoding utilizing a multitude of programs to achieve optimal resolution
  • Live encoding technology
  • Close Captioning

WEBSITE FLASH VIDEO

If you want the most widely accessible video delivery solution today, you are in luck. Flash video uses the ordinary Flash program to stream video right into your website.

Flash works on both Apple and Windows and all browser types. It is the most universally accepted format to date.

Aura's team creates custom player applications in addition to complex video management systems. Contact an Aura representative today if you have any questions or would like to discuss adding Flash Video to your website.
