VideoClix: Interactive Video Hotspot Authoring for Quicktime
"The Internet has advanced rapidly in the last decade but Television remains the main source of information, entertainment and shopping for the majority of the population. VideoClix combines the power of the Internet with the simplicity of television to produce a compelling and awesome technology, which literally puts the power at your fingertip.
VideoClix is Video Interactivity on steroids. Unlike other authoring applications that let you build interactivity around the video, VideoClix enables you to build interactivity into the actual video image. This allows your viewers to click on any item or region in your clips and purchase the products, play along , cast a vote, get info on the clicked area...etc, all without even having to stop the stream.
A simple click-and-drag in the authoring application can add breath taking interactivity making your content compelling and fun. This makes VideoClix the most cost effective and powerful method of creating engaging videos for use in DVD / CD-ROM and the web. It's based on common standards such as QuickTime and HTML so there is no need to retrain.
Add Dynamic video Hotspots, create time triggered Actions, incorporate Text and Chapters without any scripting.
VideoClix enabled content can be served from any HTTP or RTSP server, tie into any database or ecommerce backend and doesn't require an additional plug-in on the client side. The system provides you with accurate viewer behavior and vital marketing data as well.
Supported file formats are QuickTime mov: Mpeg1, Mpeg2, Mpeg4, AVI, Flash and DV.
VideoClix provides the right punch for these challenging times, be it through product placement in music videos, military simulations, educational Kiosks systems..etc.
All YOU need to do... is let your imagination run wild!"
