Unique Two-Way Broadcast
Interface Enables Users to
Broadcast Live and Pre-recorded
Videos in Chat-Based Communities
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Broadcaster, Inc. (OTCBB:
BCAS) has released its free
Social Video Network - a two-way
interactive video and chat
interface and community-building
tool - which the company
predicts will be the next
evolutionary step in online
social communication. This new
video paradigm complements
Broadcaster's existing
interactive community.
Broadcaster Social Video Network
enables users to communicate
with one another through a
two-way webcam interface that
provides the users with
interactive broadcast controls.
Users can choose to broadcast
their live webcam feed or
pre-recorded video playlists,
broadcasting one-to-one or
one-to-many.
"This is the ultimate form of
online social interaction and
instant communication that
combines the most popular
aspects of social networking
with our technologies," said
Martin Wade, CEO of Broadcaster,
Inc. "Whether you simply like to
'people watch' or want to
showcase your talents as an
artist or performer, our Social
Video Network makes that all
possible, and the quality of the
video feed is amazing."
The multi-view interface
features three separate
broadcast windows and text chat.
The first window shows the feed
that the user is broadcasting,
the second window shows the
people that the user has
selected to view, and the third
window shows the people watching
the user that is broadcasting.
Users can also navigate from a
list that shows all active
community members.
Anyone can join the Social Video
Network and interact with or
without a webcam.
"For those community members who
don't have a webcam we provide a
free tool called StudioPRO that
allows them to broadcast a
collection or playlist of their
personal video files in place of
a live webcam feed," explained
Wade. "StudioPRO helps a user
instantly become their own
thematic broadcast channel.
Whether they are discussing
political views or showing
videos from their summer
vacation, Broadcaster helps them
find their audience."
User controls within the Social
Video Network enable the
monitoring of all audio levels,
the ability to add friends, add
favorites, ignore or report
users, as well as the ability to
engage in private chat mode.
Broadcaster is currently
developing backend technology so
that users can easily integrate
their Live Social Video Network
broadcast feed into their
personal websites or other
social networks, such as
Facebook, by using Broadcaster's
simple embed code. In addition,
Broadcaster expects to integrate
this technology into
Broadcaster.com, mobile phones
and other portable devices
making Broadcaster the dominate
Social Video networking
solution.
