You may have noticed that we are regularly updating our company marketing information to reflect our ongoing ethos of providing Data Delivery Solutions. We believe that, with the range of options for mass data distribution now available, this direction will enable us to provide a more complete, innovative service to our customers. Of course, this does not mean we are abandoning CD and DVD disc manufacturing. Optical disc copying remains our core business and our service is as strong as ever.
With that in mind, what does Data Delivery Solutions mean for our customers?
As an overall concept it means treating our customers as individuals. Individuals with unique markets, unique target audiences and most importantly a unique product that needs distribution. Our aim is to use our accrued knowledge, technical facilities and industry partnerships to provide a greater element of consultancy in our service mix. We want to ensure that the end product, whether it be distributed on CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, flash memory card or online, reaches the widest possible audience while maximising its effectiveness.
As an example, you may have a project in which it becomes necessary to distribute a video, or set of videos. Conventionally customers might place a few .wmv files on a CD or DVD, we will produce an amount of copies of that disc and then send them back. As part of our Data Delivery Solutions ethos we advise our customers that there are many other options open that can potentially increase the effectiveness of their product.
The following considerations give you an idea of both the depth we can go into with your project:
* Video encoding to alternative file formats. Mac computers are not compatible with .wmv files as standard. We can ensure that your videos are playable by the widest possible audience
* Encoding and authoring to DVD-video for playback on consumer DVD player and TV. The final DVD copy will also be playable on PCs and Macs with DVD playing software. This typically includes most home PCs but often not office machines.
* Maybe your video would be better suited to portable devices. We can encode video any specification of the mp4 format-the standard for compatibility with mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras, Sony PSPs and many more hand-held systems. We then master your video to a variety of solid state memory formats (Compact Flash, SD card, Memory Stick, custom USB), duplicate, print and package in large quantities.
* Your video may also benefit from online distribution. We can encode and host your video for free access podcast download via Itunes, or Youtube. Ideal for marketing. We can also produce and host an online store for paid access to your video.
* Individualised distribution. If you have a set of customers in various locations around the UK, or even abroad, we can provide a complete fulfilment solution that delivers your product directly to their door.
These are just some examples of the kind of options that we have available and would like to put at your disposal. Please take the time to discuss your project and what you hope to achieve and allow us to find the best solution for you.
