r
leading provider of customized solutions for digital
r
broadcasting, has announced new real-time reporting
r
features for the VitalStream MediaConsole. These new
r
features provide VitalStream’s customers with
r
real-time reporting of streaming media statistics
r
including video on demand, pay-per view, and live
r
broadcasts.
r

The MediaConsole is a proprietary Web-based
r
application that gives customers complete control of

Additional reporting features include up-to-the-second
r

r
month, day, hour, minute, and second), time zone
r
specific reporting, media format breakdown (Windows
r
Media, Real, and QuickTime) and other new features.
r
r
“As a business drawing a lot of traffic to my website,
r
accurate reporting is important to me. I tried a
r
popular website statistics reporting package, and I
r
liked what I saw until I saw the price,” said
r
CarlLanore, president, Coach In The Box, a VitalStream
r
customer. “I then visited the Stats section at
r
VitalStream, my service provider, to find that the
r
VitalStream log files were graphically displayed and
r
provide real-time reporting for every aspect of my
r
website.”
r
r
The VitalStream MediaConsole is a proprietary and
r
platform independent program designed to put the
r
control of media assets back in the hands of the
r
customer. In addition to the new real-time reporting
r
feature, the MediaConsole also provides digital rights
r
management, website statistics, email management, and
r
payment processing through various payment gateways.
r
r
Several popular features of the MediaConsole include:
r
r
r
VOD / Pay-Per-View : the ability to sell
r
streaming audio or video to your audience on a per
r
view basis with online payment processing through
r
multiple payment gateways including CardService,
r
PayPal, and CyberCash.
r
r

r
MediaConsole supports Windows Media, QuickTime, and
r

r
immediately.
r
r

r
audience while your live event is happening for better
r
scheduling and program planning.
r
r
r
r
“We’ve got several live streaming customers in radio
r
and entertainment who need real-time reporting for
r
their live event and pay-per view programs, not to
r
mention programming and advertising for the Internet
r
radio customers. By providing real-time reporting to
r
advertisers, the MediaConsole now gives our customers
r
even more control of their media and the ability to
r
make even more money from streaming advertising and
r
pay-per-view,” said Paul Summers, CEO for VitalStream.
r
“We want our customers to have the best user
r
experience, adding these additional features to our
r
reporting and making it available to all of our
r
customers does just that.”
