The New York Times Readies HD Online Video Channel As Part of New Brightcove Implementation

from Beet.TV:

>>The New York Times has launched a new HD-format video player with a 16:9 wide-screen frame. Other new features include a redesigned video library, a "Most Viewed" rank, and tools to share videos to social sites like Facebook and Digg.

The new video player is from Brightcove, the Boston-based video services company. Previously, The Times streamed its video using The FeedRoom.

This is the first newspaper implementation of Brightcove 3, the company's new publishing solution. With the technology, The Times has the capability to stream video at DVD-quality of 1.5 megabits per second and higher.
