DWJ Television introduces first-ever virtual edit session on the Net.


RIDGEWOOD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 1996--

Video Professionals and Advertisers Can Review Edited Video on

the Internet

Starting today, DWJ DWJ Diana Wynne Jones (Fantasy author)  Television's clients will be able to participate in the editing of video projects from anywhere they can log onto the Internet.

This is the first time such a capability has been possible -- and it is likely to open up a whole new world, not just for television professionals, but for advertisers, film producers and anyone who works with video. Until now, editing sessions have had to be in-person or have used very expensive, custom solutions.

DWJ is able to offer this new service thanks to new VDOLive technology which enables real-time video broadcasts over the Internet. Using VDOLive's broadcast server, DWJ is able to create a direct link from one of its Avid non-linear editing suites to DWJ's website, thereby bringing edit sessions right to clients' desktops.

"DWJ has developed a truly innovative way to use VDOLive," said Yuval Cohen cohen

, VDONet's vice president of marketing. "They're the first to offer this kind of application, and we expect other television producers to follow their lead."

DWJ's virtual edit sessions must be arranged in advance, but they are easy to use. Clients are to be given a private URL URL

 or a password-protected page on DWJ's website -- www.dwjtv.com. Then, using a VDOLive player (which can be downloaded free from the DWJ website) clients can sit in on an edit as it happens and watch an editor make changes right in front of their own virtual eyes.

 an editor by phone, the client can ask to see different combinations of shots and different soundbites -- just as they would if they were sitting next to the editor in the edit room. With digital editing, changes take only a few minutes -- and with a direct link from the edit room to the web, the edits can be viewed in real time as they're made.

DWJ's producers, who spend a lot of time on location in various parts of the country and the world, will be able to use the application also, particularly on projects that involve fast turnarounds and multiple shoot locations. The virtual edit session will enable producers and editors to collaborate on projects as they are being shot.

The virtual edit session was invented by DWJ Television's founder and president, Daniel Johnson Daniel Johnson is the name of:
  • Daniel Johnson (buccaneer), (1629-1675), English buccaneer
  • Daniel Johnson (Musician), (born 1985), bass player for pop group Stand By Me
  • Daniel Johnson (sailor), recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Medal
, who spends a lot of time on the road -- and away from the edit studio -- but likes to be involved in the editing process. "The Internet is changing the world as much as the printing press did, and the Internet virtual edit session is changing the way we edit. Distance is no longer important. This is just one small step as video makes its way to the web," says Johnson.

Professionals in other industries, particularly TV news, advertising and motion pictures, are also likely to begin using virtual edit sessions. For example, a TV news reporter in the field will be able to watch how a producer is editing a piece he or she has to voiceover. Directors will be able to see "dailies" from anywhere.

VDOLive is one of the leading products for broadcasting video in real time over the Internet. By taking advantage of "streamed" video, web users no longer need to download To receive a file transmitted over a network. In any communications session, "download" means receive, and "upload" means send. The download/upload often implies a big/little scenario, in which data is being downloaded from the "big" server into the "little" user's computer.  a file and wait minutes before even a short video clip A short video presentation.  is ready to be viewed.
