February 15, 2005

IDS Interactive today announced its newest suite of services. Dubbed "HighMarkVideo," the new offerings are aimed at bringing the power of video to the Web for IDS' clients.

The new services are designed to help firms prepare video content for digital distribution with delivery either through the Web, interactive DVD, or handheld devices, and is in direct response to IDS' customers' increasing requests to use the Web as a video delivery medium.

The new services include the following:

• Video capture - digitizing existing video from tape
• Compression - reducing file size for digital delivery
• Video editing - for both new and existing video
• DVD authoring - creating interactive DVDs
• Video production - on-site video recording

Video can be prepared for web delivery in any of the following popular formats:

• Flash
• QuickTime
• Windows Media
• Real

Video can also be prepared for DVD, iPod and other handheld devices and broadcast.

"The accelerating adoption of broadband in the US is creating a growing demand for video on the Web," states IDS president, Don Breinlinger. "Video is a natural because, when it comes to understanding information, it's often much easier for people to understand and comprehend things that are represented visually as opposed to reading and using the imagination.

"The problem previously has been that too few Web users had high speed connections, which are necessary for a good video experience online. Today that problem is disappearing because of the proliferation of broadband and faster computers, and as a result the demand for video is increasing. IDS intends to lead in this area for our clients who need video on their sites, and HighMarkVideo is our means of providing these services."
