Peak Vision TV, UK producers of corporate video and broadcast television - producing a streamed corporate video

If you are thinking of having a corporate video produced, then now is the time to consider the options available to you. You most likely will be thinking of having a corporate DVD. However, you may not have considered one of the most effective forms of corporate production available to you today.

Why not have your corporate production streamed?

Your corporate production can be made available for viewing on the Internet, and more specifically, can be incorporated into your company website, readily available for viewing by prospective customers.

Below is an example of one of our streamed corporate videos:

What is streaming?

This is a technique enabling audio and video to be made available for viewing over the Internet, using broadband.

To create streaming media, the amount of data that is stored needs to be reduced whilst still retaining as much detailed information as required. In order to carry out this process a codec (compressor / decompressor) is used. Firstly the video is compressed, prior to being streamed and then secondly the data is decompressed during playback to reproduce the video and sound.

Although the viewing area for streamed video is often limited and the quality of the programme is far from broadcast quality television, there is a growing trend for businesses to incorporate streamed video on their websites.

When shooting and editing video for use on the Internet, it is important that the highest quality is ensured throughout in order to compensate for the inevitable losses of compression. (The University of Washington touches on this subject.) Shots need to be planned and filmed with streaming in mind as any content that gives the codecs more work will result in loss of image quality.

At Peak Vision TV we provide a professional approach to streaming media incorporating the following:

careful planning before shooting including development of script and shot list
using professional broadcast-quality cameras
camera work specifically appropriate for streaming content (see views of University of Washington - Creating Streaming Media)
use of professional lighting producing high quality images
use of professional audio equipment
quality control of images and audio maintained throughout the process using vector scopes, waveform monitors and audio vector scopes (compliant with broadcast standards)
working according to our stringent procedures based on the broadcast industry standards in all productions

The cost of a streamed corporate video

Peak Vision TV can produce a corporate production, encode it, and stream it on the Internet, with costs starting from as little as £700 per produced minute of content.

Our hosting services start from as little as £20 per month depending on the duration of your programme and the bandwidth your require.

If you would like your corporate video to be streamed you need to inform us during our initial discussions. Our decision-making will be affected right from the early stages of production. We can then plan the shooting and editing carefully right from the start, to ensure we maintain the highest image quality throughout the process.
