Once you are at the point of considering Internet Video for your company’s website, here is a short summary of how Vusion is different.

Vusion HD Streaming Video Cloud

The Vusion HD Streaming Cloud enables companies to control and manage the best full-screen Internet HD video experiences available today. The all new VideoFlow 3.0 makes it easy for just about anyone to upload, manage and stream HD video to their website. You don’t need buy new computer infrastructure or hire information technology professionals.

Vusion is different than other services in these key ways:

• Best Viewing Experience: Vusion allows companies to deliver outstanding full-screen Internet HD video experiences from their website. Vusion’s end-to-end streaming cloud technology provides the high performance needed for great Internet HD experiences. Vusion’s FullVu Player, linked to the Vusion HD streaming cloud technology enables this experience.
• Reach 99% of PCs & Macs with HD: Vusion’s integrated technology allows a great viewing experience on low-end to high end PC’s and Macs. Other services that combine video management with CDNs and Flash players fall down here. And Vusion video is secure so it can’t be copied to YouTube or other sharing sites.
• Easy-To-Use: Easy to use video upload and management with Vusion’s web-based VideoFlow 3.0 services. You aren’t required to have information technology professionals to manage and publish your videos.
• Affordable: Vusion’s web pricing is offered in buckets of hours not gigabytes transferred or megabits per second. It’s easier to budget for hours. There are no upfront costs. And we don’t trick you with expensive overages.
• Customer Loyalty Metrics: The first-ever Internet video customer loyalty measurement services to help companies accumulate data more closely tied to improving profitability than traditional website analytics.
• Any language any time: Add as many language sub-titles and audio tracks as you want, even after you have published your videos. Just right click while viewing and change languages. This is a great way to reach other countries and no additional costs. Go to eLance to find low-cost providers to create new language subtitle or audio tracks.
• Customizable: Vusion has developed an extensive set of web APIs for the FullVu player and VideoFlow management system so developers can integrate Vusion’s services into their website.

Vusion FullVu Player Experience – What to look for:

• Auto Bandwidth Adjustment: When viewing the video through the Vusion FullVu player, look at the bottom right corner and mouse over the bandwidth bars. This will show you how much Internet bandwidth you have to your computer. The Vusion FullVu Player Smoothrate™ technology adjusts the amount of video to send to your player based on the available bandwidth.
• Colors: The Vusion system does a better job of maintaining the rich colors found in the source file. Other video systems lose much of the color during the encoding and streaming process.
• Full-Screen: Try to evaluate most of your video playback in Full-Screen. This is what really tests any system as there is much more processing power and bandwidth required to display the video in a consistent, high quality experience in Full-Screen play.
• Motion: Look closely at things that move quickly. It’s very difficult to keep the viewing experience consistent in Full-Screen when there is lots of motion in the video. The Vusion system will display motion, with rich colors and synced audio much better than any other Internet video system.
• Starting and Seeking: Mouse over the white progress bar just above the play buttons and click on a point forward of the video playing. Notice that Vusion allows infinite point seeking and that the video both Starts and Seeks rapidly without excessive buffering.

VideoFlow Management System – What to look for:

• Completeness: Compare Vusion’s end-to-end management with other solutions. Notice that Vusion ‘solves the entire problem’ of video on the Internet, unlike other soltutions that will upload and play, but require that you log into other vendors to see your results or web traffic. And some systems require you to secure a separate deal with a CDN (content delivery network) for additional required services and related costs.
• Simplicity: Look at how the simple, graphic workflows guide you through the steps needed and give you simple explanations for jobs to be done. Unlike complex video publishing systems designed for broadcasters, Vusion’s business oriented design allows mulitple kinds of users in your company to access and manage video.
• Player Builder: See how you can easily customize your Vusion FullVu player and adjust the colors, button placements and playlist features. You can add the player to any web page by using simple copy-and-paste operations from the player builder into your web design tools in HTML mode.
• Upload: With the Vusion VideoFlow system, you can upload a video directly from your browser, or you can use a rugged FTP system for uploading larger video files. Compare this with other services that support only one mode of upload.
• Manage: You can add and delete files, change the video attributes, arrange playlists, add subtitles and more – all from the graphical, wizard-based workflow.
• Publish and Control: Once your file is uploaded and ready to play, you will be able to publish it to your web pages and mark it for syndication control, which means it will only play on web sites that you designate.
• Measure: See the results! You can see all of the metrics needed without changing environments or logging into other web tools. Visit our reporting page.

Vusion VideoFlow Reporting

• Viewing Hours: Notice that Vusion shows you the metrics you really want – how many people are watching your video, and how long that watch it. Everything is measured in hours and minutes of video playtime, not in difficult to interpret netwrok-level metrics.
• Popularity and Average Play Length: You can see how long the average view is watching the video and which videos are most popular. This real-world feedback tells you which content sections are doing most of the work for you and earning the most money.
• Viewing, not Buffering: Notice what is missing? No Buffering Charges! With Vusion, you are only charged for the actual video viewed by end users. In most services, you are also charged for the over streaming and buffering.
• Geographic Mapping: Look at the geographic play maps. See where your users are watching video. You will be able to identify new markets quickly and visually.
