I'm really exited about 2009 challenges. Today we are launching our new version of our Internet Campus, with an improved flash video streaming provider. To choose our provider we tried with different providers, until we found the best relation between price/quality/realiability. Now we are using H.264 Compression and a video frame size of 640 x 360, streaming at 492Kbps, that will allow us to reach even slow connections, allowing the viewer to have a pleasent and smooth experience.
We also included on this update the Microsoft SilverLight player, that works good on Windows/Mac Enviroments. Good news about it, is works fine in Internet Explorer and Safari, bad news is, doesn't work with firefox/Chrome. We also included Web 2.0 links to our Twitter, Facebook, Our Community, Myspace and Blog.
On the core we also included resources for kids' parents that allow them to print some materials and lessons to share with their kids.
Regarding our viral players, we keep on U-Stream.tv because even it has ads now, you can see our internet campus in your I-phone. At the moment, we are giving up on our Mogulus feed, after experienced their "PRO" version. While they were Beta, everything was great, and at NAB 2008 they annouced the Pro version starting on a suggested price of 29.95 a month plus bandwidth, and guess what... on December 08, they launched their package for starters at $ 350 a month including 25Gb of bandwidht plust $ 1.5 the extra Gb... We had a 600Gb monthly demand so do the math... With our current provider we get 1Tb (1000 GB) for $ 450, plus windows media and Quick Time on april 2009. Technology is always challenging and you have to be on the edgeline seeking, researching and fighting in order to get the best possible deal.
