U2’s Popmart Bursts Out in Broadband
For over two decades, the band U2 has remained on the leading edge of next-generation media technology. When Burst.com and U2 looked to an outside source to develop tools and design to bring the U2 Popmart broadband video-on-demand (VOD) event, our team’s reputation for innovative and advanced intuitive infotech made us the logical choice. We applied our unique online application technology to encapsulate a custom version of the Microsoft Windows Media Player with a new, highly stylized interface to auto deliver nine different levels of compressed video to a wide spectrum of users and bandwidths from 56k to full broadband DSL, Cable Modem and T3.
