New technology demo videos from BT

Posted: Monday 26th April 2004 by Sam
Some interesting videos produced by BT Retail have found their way on to the internet. These are very much marketting videos, so don't expect a great deal of technical content. However, the flexible bandwidth one is interesting - particularly the way the user was able to boost their bandwidth mid-download. Whether this is actually makes it to the final product we cannot be sure.

The three videos are available here:

  1. Flexible bandwidth [MPEG/RAR'd MPEG]
    The changing of bandwidth between 64Kbps, 512Kbps and 2Mbps at the click of a button.
  2. BT Communicator [MPEG/RAR'd MPEG]
    A convergence piece of software designed to bring together all the communications methods available to people.
  3. Rich Media [MPEG/RAR'd MPEG]
    Utilises the flexible bandwidth solution to deliver high-quality DRM (Digital Rights Management) content to the desktop.
Be warned though - all the MPEG videos are upwards of 20MB! I have now added compressed RAR versions of all three files which provide a modest size reduction.
