Product Description

Digital Fountain’s CDN solution for streaming video provides an immediate full-screen, TV-quality experience, significantly improving the way people watch video over the Internet. The CDN for streaming eliminates many of the common problems associated with today’s CDNs, such as poor video quality, small picture size, slow loading, slow channel-changing and frequent buffering. Digital Fountain’s higher-quality experience enables viewers to watch more content more often, ultimately providing more value to advertisers and content providers alike.

Market Opportunity

According to a Milward Brown study, consumers that watched television shows online recall brand advertising as much as four times more than watching the original broadcast on TV. In another study, NTT Trials reported that consumers watched up to 30 times more streaming video content when streamed using Digital Fountain technology.

Demo Says

The typical consumer isn’t patient and has come to expect broadcast quality in the video viewing experience, yet IP-delivered TV is too often slow, lossy, and unsatisfying. Digital Fountain made its name on fast, high-quality data transfer, and it’s turned its expertise to creating a content delivery network service that enables branded content owners to provide broadcast-like TV experience over public IP networks. The result is a dramatically improved viewing experience that engages consumers with more content over longer time periods. And that delivers more value per viewer to content owners.
