LiveCamNetwork Finds Live High Definition Video Success

(Cyberspace) December 12, 2005 - Live adult video chat site LiveCamNetwork.com has found that its new widescreen, high definition chat rooms are the bestselling destinations on the site. "This came as something of a surprise," said site founder Mark Prince. "We introduced the format slowly, wanting people who had the equipment to migrate to it first. But it turns out most people who could view our regular, 20 frame per second video are able to see the high definition." Created by 2Much Internet Services Inc., the High Definition format is not the same as pre-recorded HD. "This is high definition for live, online interactive video. It's still the most advanced live video on the web," said Prince. LiveCamNetwork served as the testing ground for 2Much.net's new format less than 2 months ago, with special events such as The Luna Show (a live chat hostess interview segment) and the Nude Light Sabre Duel (a sci-fi trivia drinking game and Star Wars geek gathering that featured a nude reenactement of the climactic sword fight) popping up now and then as beta tests of the software. "It's not quite revolutionary," said Prince. "Essentially we combined the Windows Media Player with the right codec, beefed up our servers and delivery back-end, and there you go. We're just the first who combined the elements." Regardless, the rest of the software is original and is currently undergoing a radical upgrade to ease site management and niche the marketing potential of clients who have models that vary from male to female, thin to BBW and so on. Prince also adds that performers who have since taken up regular spots in the live hi-def chat rooms have seen revenues increase significantly. "People are jaded now by the state of the art in live video," said Prince. "We have to give them something new. Choppy silent video doesn't cut it anymore, everyone expects the standard screen format and smooth video. So we're here to blow their minds all over again." After having been the first DSL/Broadband live adult chat site on the web, Prince insists they will be the first high-definition video chat site. "We're running 30 frames per second," he said. "And the aspect ratio is 16:9, not the squarer 4:3 ." The stream is also carrying audio quality in the form of 48 Khz Dolby Surround 5.1 stereo, which permits models and studio managers to plug in their music and higher-end microphones to bring out the warmth and "closeness" of the chat hostess. The site has been rushing to create hi-def chat accounts for the most popular of its chat hostesses, reserving one studio for the format alone. "It's not enough," said Prince. "Pretty soon everyone's going to want to be in high definition." ###
