  Distribute Secure High-Quality Audio and Video at a Lower Cost
Now you can increase revenue by distributing your video and audio content on the Internet directly to customers with objectCube's new Video on Demand Services. Deliver feature-length movies for as little as 50 cents each without any investment in expensive hardware, software or technical expertise.


What We Offer
objectCube delivers secure, DVD-quality video with the convenience of on-demand streaming, but without the interruptions caused by network congestion and bandwidth limitations. Your customers download their selected video shortly before viewing and enjoy a seamless visual experience.

How Our Services Work
We provide Video on Near Demand at high quality, a service that solves the problems involved with current streaming technologies (such as its inability to scale real-time video on demand). With our services, if a user wants to watch a movie, they will make a request in advance using a Web-based interface. The movie will be pushed to a client's PC or TV set top box from one or more of our servers during off-peak times. On average, a quality one-hour long movie can be sent to a user in about three hours using a DSL or cable modem connection. If the customer requests the movie by lunch time, they can view the movie before sitting down for dinner.
