Video on Demand (VOD) drives leadership of new wave applications for 147 million Smartphones in an industry slated to grow to 440 million units by 2014.
Experiencing robust growth with consumers, the smartphone market is increasingly seeking to add on more well-designed features to the application mix, leading that drive are touch screen technology, GPS, and video streaming and video playback capabilities. "Users are moving towards a complex and rich mobile experience made of communication, entertainment and productivity services," says Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst, Saverio Romeo. Mobile On Demand Video is a big part of the push, with immediate growth expectations for VOD adopters slated at 18%.
An added benefit is when viral smartphone videos, with their potential to turn ordinary people into "brand ambassadors" as video clips get instantly forwarded from phone to phone to friends and family, have provided new online venue for measurable and targeted advertising.
Best-in-Class Video on Demand Software features:
Offers playback over minimum of 1.5GHz and 256MB of memory with DirectX 9.0 or higher and Sound Card with broadband connection.
Provides playback for all video compression algorithms.
Playback of standard content “upscaled” to 1920x1080 resolution as well as high-definition (HD) content (720p) “upscaled” to 1920x1080 resolution.
Top Considerations before buying Video on Demand Software:
Viewing quality of content is most important. VOD software should handle compression artifacts well, including mitigating dark scenes or shadows and "blotchy" or "pixelated" content.
