Formats of Playback

Live event playback

Video played back from video tape machines, laptops with Power Point presentations or live cameras is common. Creating Multi-screen Playback with Synchronization between them is also done by Inform Productions. A video or animation set on loop helps create ambience at your event location. This is an ideal type of material to be played during walk ins, breaks and meals. Live graphics for names of people, voting results, up to the minute timetable changes displayed on screen are what we specialize in at Inform Productions.

Internet

Three modes of material that we create are;
1: Video with audio for optimized viewing by high speed and low speed connection clients.
2: Audio only for playback around the world, through high and slow speed connections.
3: Hypertext is by far the fastest method of playback, and is useful for transcription purposes.

Video (VHS)

VHS is the most popular method of distribution of an event in video format. Custom lengths of tapes are available to help bring the costs down. Custom designed tape boxes in full color with glossy finish will help create a good image for your latest production.

Video (DVD)

Over the next several years you will see DVD becoming seriously looked at for low run distribution with quantities up to 1,000. Currently the raw cost of a blank DVD disk is about $40 where as a blank VHS tape would cost about $1.40. One reason to go with DVD is if you are creating a very low run of disks, say 10 for playback on laptops for your sales force. Your sales force will not have to Fast Forward or Rewind through any material on a DVD, it's a non-visible skip to the new location. Another use would be for presentation centers where you want the video to loop for days at a time with little or no maintenance. We at Inform Productions have been working with Random Access Video since 1993.

TV Broadcast

Have you looked at getting parts of your event broadcast? By having Inform Productions cover your event you will have the opportunity to use your event footage for mainstream news footage, business television Networks all the way to science networks.

CD-ROM

Intranet

If you are interested in having your video put on your intranet you probably have a staff that maintains the network where the video will reside. Let us talk with you and your network staff. There are solutions that allow for video streaming on your internal network. Leading organizations have gone from CD-ROM based education to intranet based training to avoid duplication costs, physical waste, and the content is always current and online.

Audio Only

Sometimes the best format is audio only. Weather you have one presenter in one room or if you have multiple presenters across eight rooms, Inform Productions has the ability to record all of your simultaneous sessions. Audio cassettes are economical for recording presentations. CD's may give the impression of being expensive, but can actually become cheaper if you are making more than 200 copies of each presentation.

Other / Custom

Kiosks with simple button access or elegant touch screens, interactive environments that take people through spaces, electronic props to create an image are all methods of attracting attention to your booth. Are you looking for creative ways to help facilitate getting Information from potential clients?
