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."
