Vividas Group, developers and providers of video streaming technology, have launched The Vividas Sniffer - Automatic Bandwidth Detection Software - a world first of "one click" to launch full screen video on the web.
"This technology allows users, who have previously accepted the Vividas security prompt and have a broadband connection, to click on a web link in a browser straight to viewing full screen video. There are no other examples of this currently available on the web. True web TV!" Said David Winter CTO of Vividas
By detecting a download time to a 10KB test component, the Vividas Sniffer calculates the bandwidth available to the user and selects the appropriate sized file to stream. While buffering, a second check takes place and within seconds confirms that the correct file has been chosen, and provides an alternative bit rate file if necessary.
"The Vividas Sniffer has impressed clients and is about to be used by our major accounts. This is just the first of many new enhancements to be added to Vividas offering this year, enabling best viewing performance for our clients and their users as well as reaffirming our continued commitment to develop Vividas as the leading video streaming technology brand." Added Neil Speakman, Executive Chairman of Vividas Group
