It was on the tvnz page last night, great footage but I missed most of the first race because they have the highlights from the previous day overlapping the live feed!

Also the lady that told me the live feed will work on the internet tv, the IPad and the IPhone was wrong, bit of a let down.

Found on the interweb so must be true

 

Be good if they had on demand viewing through their TVNZ app....

 

Flash is poor way of delivering video

 

 

TVNZ is the first commercial broadcaster in the world to deliver on-demand content to the Playstation 3, using the Adobe Flash platform family.

 

“We are a small broadcaster, but we saw the types of things we wanted to do and Adobe assisted with some development funding,” says Tom Cotter, TVNZ general manager content and delivery digital media.

 

“Flash makes up the core back-end of the digital content for TVNZ on demand.

 

“We would see the changes in the technology, and new customer expectations.”

 

To that end, TVNZ is delivering half-a-million unique browsers a month, which Cotter says is the equivalent of 60 years of linear viewing per month.

 

It is funded by advertising, so successfully, in fact, that TVNZ has sold out at the moment, he says.

 

“The demand is certainly there, as is the value proposition.”

 

He says TVNZ chose Adobe because it was available on so many devices.

 

“Their road map is driven to security, reducing costs and improving quality. The only fly in the ointment is the iPad and iPhone [Apple refuses to use Adobe] but iPad penetration is relatively small. There is not a large enough market to justify investment in a whole new platform.

 

“There were other opportunities, but Flash is by far the dominant platform.”

 

He says, for example, Microsoft’s Silverlight doesn’t have enough penetration and is too much of a barrier for customers.

 

US market research company Frank N Magid Associates says 50 percent of internet users in the US now watch online video weekly or more frequently.

 

TVNZ is using Adobe’s Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) to deliver its video content.

 

“We can pioneer some of OSMF for Adobe,” says Cotter, referring to the Adobe funding. “They see us as an innovator.”

 

OSMF reduces the complexity of video player development and allows the developer to customise the player for the browser, incorporating plug-ins for advertising, reporting and content delivery.

 

Cotter says it reduces TVNZ’s costs and overhead.

 

“We are looking to deliver in a successful and sustainable manner anything, anywhere, anytime on any device,” he says.

Well that's full of inanities and contradictions.

He says TVNZ chose Adobe because it was available on so many devices.
“We are looking to deliver in a successful and sustainable manner anything, anywhere, anytime on any device,” he says.

Strike 1. iOS penetration is huge, even in NZ.

The only fly in the ointment is the iPad and iPhone [Apple refuses to use Adobe] but iPad penetration is relatively small.

Strike 2. See above.

Their road map is driven to security, reducing costs and improving quality.

Strike 3. Flash is a very popular vector for malware writers.

“We can pioneer some of OSMF for Adobe,” says Cotter, referring to the Adobe funding. “They see us as an innovator.”

Well that's damning praise, considering Adobe are past their innovative, market-leading days by about a decade.

 

Reading between the lines all this really says is Adobe made it cheaper for TVNZ, so they ran with it. If they were serious about delivering to as many devices/platforms as possible, they'd use HTML5 which is supported by at least one browser on all major platforms, desktop and mobile.

I think your right on the money there mothership :thumbup:

 

How expensive would it be for TVNZ to have its own you tube channel anyway. I think TVNZ must be run by dinosoars :lol:
