Cisco Knows…it’s all about the VIDEO

As you can tell we’re talking about video, again. But we’re not the only ones…

Great article by: By Matt Hamblen

With a smile and a few handshakes for reporters, Cisco CEO John Chambers launched into a 45 minute presentation at the CES show on Wednesday describing the future of video over networks.

“Who would have thought a decade ago that Cisco would be here talking about consumer products and video?” Chambers asked with a chuckle. “It is video that changes everything.”
For two years at least Chambers has been beating the video drum, talking about how annual growth in video traffic over networks will be 200% or more.

But in recent months he has become decidedly more personal in his appeals to the value of video, noting that consumers relate to video of family and friends because of the “experience, and not the technology.”
At the Wednesday presentation, Chambers described new video in-home telepresence technology that will be trialed in the U.S. this spring, with Verizon Communications as an early partner. Cisco will provide set-top boxes and cameras, but consumers will be able to use their existing HDTVs, he noted.

In his talk, Chambers focused heavily on the intimate nature of video technology, using examples from his own family. On a screen, he showed short video clips he took with a Flip camera of his family boat excursion near Hawaii, showing whales surfacing in the ocean his wife racing down a zip line in a jungle in Costa Rica.

How to send a video

OK, folks, a couple of things about sending a video and actually getting it to your intended viewers:

1. If you simply attach a super-large movie file to an email, most anti-virus programs will treat the message like it’s a virus. Now, I’m all for viral marketing…but your movie will NEVER be seen in quarantine.

We have a solution: Open My Video.

2. Large files are often blocked by ISP’s. Again, your movie–the really great one you made about your company and all your company’s cool products–will never be viewed.

We have a solution: Open My Video.

3. Ready to send your expensive new marketing video using your normal email program? Let’s put it this way: The Outlook is not good for your video ever getting seen. Why? Spam programs monitor the number of recipients you list in a single email and toss the message to the JUNK folder if you’ve got more than a handful of recipients. You don’t want a big chunk of your marketing budget junked.

The solution? Open My Video.
