PBS expects to add other programs, program segments, and promotional clips throughout the year. Video material will be supplied by PBS member stations and independent producers throughout the United States. VDOLive is a major addition to our service and will allow Web surfers the world over to see PBS programming. We also see tremendous educational uses for video on the Net. Other sites using VDOLive include CBS News Up to the Minute, Preview Vacations, Grolier Interactive, Paramount Interactive, and several local television stations.
Video is a very compelling way to convey information.
We are proud to have PBS join the growing family of VDOLive users. VDOnet expects VDOLive to be valuable for news and information, promotion, advertising, and various educational, corporate applications, and personal. VDOLive technology conquers the technical challenges presented by the low bandwidth and complex communications environment of the Internet. VDOLive motion video is scalable and can run at up to 15 frames per second with a 28.8 kbps modem. VDOLive's scalability allows it to continually maximize the quality of the video depending on the network bandwidth available throughout the connection.
