Digital Media/Rich Media Practice

Digital media (including audio, video, animation, and synchronized graphics) and the systems, applications, and environments which consume it have become a mainstay of the broadband world.

BlueCat Group consultants have traversed the length and breadth of the digital media ecosystem. We know every facet of it's market and technology landscape. Mouse over the list to see more on some of these:

 
Voice & Streaming Media

 
Rich Media & Media Applications

 
Interactive Digital Television

 
Digital Rights Management

If broadband is a part of your future, then so is a trip through the world of digital media! When that time comes, BlueCat Group is your ticket there and back again.

 
 

From technology to applications, BlueCat Group has VOIP and Streaming Media covered:

 
Codecs for audio, video, and voice

 
Protocols & Languages (e.g. RTP, RTSP, SIP, VoiceXML)

 
Servers & Media Gateways

 
MetaData (e.g. MPEG7)

 

To shorten time to market, increase productivity, and lower costs, forward looking companies are increasingly taking advantage of the impact of rich-media communications. Rich-media presentations that seamlessly meld graphics, animations, audio, video, and text are highly engaging and maximize opportunities for learning. Rich Media content, and the applications for authoring, producing, deploying, managing, and presenting that content, has become an important feature of the Information Technology landscape.

BlueCat projects have encompassed every aspect of Rich Media. We bring authoritative expertise to technologies from SMIL and SVG to Flash and MPEG4 and applications including eLearning, Sales & Product Launch Support, and Conferencing.

 

The Next Generation of Television is taking shape, and BlueCat Group is in the thick of it. Whether Cable, Satellite, Wireless or DSL, the Head End is being transformed from a simple video distribution system into a dynamic, digital resource.
