The transfer of a single video file via broadband is a relatively simple process. However, the process of sharing that video file with a small group of recipients changes dramatically when the audience numbers grow from that small group to the tens of thousands, to the hundreds of thousands or to the millions.
Such a large number of viewers require the content be broadcast quality and delivered in a consistently reliable manner. What are the hardware / software components necessary to deliver broadcast quality content to millions of viewers worldwide reliably?
The answer to this question reveals the complexity of the challenge.
The Talking Web has diligently researched, tested, and perfected the Complete Solution.
From the camera to the viewing screen, The Talking Web can deliver the highest possible quality video to be viewed at any time, on any screen, viewed anywhere.
Whether the viewer is watching television sitting comfortably in their living room or on- the-go, watching video content on a variety of mobile devices, The Talking Web has the expertise to facilitate the needs of cable companies, telcos, or on-line video distributors.
No one company can develop all of the components required for the Complete Solution.
The Talking Web has developed strategic alliances with myriad of companies each having their specific expertise. These companies are hardware manufacturers, software developers, advertising agencies, CDNs, content rights aggregators, wholesalers, global financial processing solutions, and retailers.
The Talking Web does not believe that any one hardware or software solution fits every situation, as such we do not only support one codec, hardware platform, etc. We apply our knowledge base of all the available hardware/software combinations to provide the Complete Solution that fits with YOUR business model.
When a new hardware/software component is presented, The Talking Web tests, tests, and tests again. We test until we are absolutely confident of the reliability, consistency and stability of the component. Once the component meets our process of evaluation, we add that component to the Complete Solution.
It takes a well-orchestrated team to deliver the Complete Solution. The Talking Web works with its customers, strategic partners and vendors to develop a custom application for the delivery of broadcast quality content. Whether it is a traditional television delivery business model or a hybrid involving multiple platforms, The Talking Web is using its knowledge base to lead the industry.
The Talking Web has developed a comprehensive Network Management System (NMS - middleware).
Our NMS monitors every aspect of the video delivery process including interactive features, content loading, advertising insertion, multiple monetization models, viewer activation / deactivation, set-top-box activation / deactivation, customization, all under multiple hierarchies.
The Talking Web has developed state-of-the-art encoders, transcoders, and set-top-boxes.
Such equipment dramatically reduces the cost of distribution for broadcast quality content. The Talking Web also delivers HD programming.
With our server-based delivery mode, our customers have the ability to deliver a virtually unlimited number of channels and content.
The Talking Web allows a Telco to enhance their current subscriber offering with OTT content delivery while allowing a Telco to expand their subscriber base beyond their current geo-graphic footprint. A Telco is no longer faced with losing a subscriber when that subscriber moves outside their geo-graphic footprint.
For delivery outside of the Telco footprint The Talking Web can provide load-balancing for the CDN delivery process to route the content through the most reliable, direct, and cost efficient CDN. Utilizing the resources of every major CDN, our customers are guaranteed reliability.
Content Aggregators having video content from niche markets find that the development and implementation of their own multiple channel broadband enabled television networks is far easier and much less expensive than the traditional old fashioned dinosaur method.
Since all content is stored in cloud servers, there is an unlimited number of channels and programming available to the viewing public. Distribution is now global and is only limited by "Rights Distribution Contracts". No longer is distribution limited by technology.
Within the distribution model is the abbility to limit, if desired, to a specific geographic location for IPTV, multi-dwelling units, or for corporate communications.
The Talking Web helps you create a broadband enabled distribution plan and facilitates the process of allowing you to direct your niche content to specific to an individual viewers in their living room and mobile device. This allows you to to a targeted audience and advertising enabling you to monetize your niche content.
