Consumer Collaboration

Related Product(s): Odaptor, UGC, Review and Approval

The Challenge

Brand recognition, loyalty, and consumer referrals have been revolutionized by the Internet and the growth of social media. A single customer demonstrating your product or service can go viral and have a bigger impact than a multi-million dollar ad campaign. However, disgruntled consumers, competitive product placements, and other malicious individuals can wreak havoc on your brand, product, or corporate identity if left unchecked. How do you extend your brand through the Internet with out giving up control?

The Solution

Origin Digital's Odaptor service provides the platform for instantly adding user generated content (UGC) submission and moderation capabilities into any web site or Internet based brand campaign.  Through customizable web forms, users submit content and metadata via their Internet browser.  Our upload manager displays a progress bar for the transfer and provides an ETA for completion of the transfer.  This easy to use process works in all browsers and does not require a software download or browser plug-in.  Once the content is transferred successfully, it is placed in the review and approval queue.

Review and Approval
Once content is received via the upload form, it is held for review by users with the appropriate permissions.  Upon receipt of new content, an email notification will be sent.  All actions are tracked within the content history and can be viewed and either approved or rejected.  Origin Digital can provide 3rd party moderation services to assist with customers looking to outsource this activity or are expecting a large number of submissions.  If approved, the content will automatically be transcoded to the specified output formats and instantly published to the customer's website.

Instant Publishing
Content submitted to the Odaptor service will be automatically transcoded, delivered, and published to your website.  Encoding profiles are defined within the user interface and allow you to specify any number of outputs (video, audio, and thumbnails).  With minimal set up, your website can automatically publish the video, audio, and images created by Odaptor.

Web Casting Events

Related Product(s): originCast

The Challenge

Organizing a web event can be a complicated affair.  Video and audio content must be captured, encoded, streamed to a player within a customized event portal, and broadcast to viewers around the world.  Event audiences can range in size, from hundreds to thousands and are often unpredictable.  This makes it difficult to plan and provision both the server and bandwidth capacity required for the event.  Additionally, one-sided events are not nearly as effective as those that draw in your users with interactivity.

The Solution

Origin Digital has been providing web casting solutions for over 10 years.  OriginCast is a turn-key solution for all of your web events needs.  We take care of all of the technical and logistical details to ensure that your event is professional and without incident.  Origin Digital provides a number of event customization options, including:

Global Reach
By leveraging our own global infrastructure combined with relationships within the market leading video delivery networks, we are able to provide a scalable and highly-available end-to-end streaming solution that will support virtually unlimited audience sizes - globally.  Flash crowds and unexpected turn-outs will not prevent your critical message from being delivered.

User Collaboration
To engage your audience during a web event, originCast provides a number of tools to engage the viewer.  With add-on options such as polling, moderated chat, and question and answer, viewers will feel like they are participating.

Slide Synchronization
Getting your message across is even easier through the use of synchronized slides which are controlled by the presenter and displayed to all web cast viewers.

Portal Customization
Our talented graphics designers will work with you to create a one of a kind event portal and player.  We can customize one of our existing templates, or work with an idea or design that is provided. Below are some samples of our past work:



Event Recording
Web cast events can be recorded and played out on demand, for those that cannot attend the web cast during the scheduled time.   Origin Digital can also prepare DVD copies of the event which can be shipped to the customer.
