Accessibility in players

By the first of July 2014 all new norwegian websites are required to be accessible for vision and hearing impaired — and many other government institutions follow similar guidelines. That is one of the reasons why we’ve made a bunch of accessibility upgrades to our players. Optimized for vision and hearing impaired users, our players now includes keyboard shortcuts for navigation, volume, subtitles and text-labels for screen readers.

4K Video Resolution

We are rolling out support for 4K video (Ultra High Definition), replacing 1080p as the highest-resolution signal available thru 23 Video.  4K resolution refers to a display, device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. Amongst others, this is a exciting update for the ones using distribution points like Apple TV, iTunes or Airplay, reaching TV's screen with a minimum UHD resolution set.  Please let us know if you want to become a beta tester and we’ll make it happen.

Link directly to a specific time

We have added the ability to link directly to a specific time in a video. An example is how Roskilde Festival is using this. Not only are they using our feature Sections (read more about this here) allowing visitors to browse thru a track list of songs, but also using the URL it self to link to as specific song, moment or memory in one of their festival videos.

Simply add the timecode using a column to separate minutes from seconds and you are good to go: http://roskilde-festival.tv/vinnie-who/8:43

Big news on video protection

We are exited about having released a whole new way of doing video protection and access maneuvering in 23 Video. Perviously supporting out of the box access restrictions on site level, we now also offer support video-level access restrictions:

Geo-blocking - Only visitors from specified geographic regions are allowed to play the video.

Password protection - Visitors need to input a password to play the video.

Custom API protection - Visitors need to be authenticated through your own servers to play video.

Paywall integrations - Read more about this here.  

To start playing with this feature you simply log in to your 23 Video account, click the video you want to protect and choose the option suitable for your video distribution.

All new comments

You may have noticed that we recently updated the comments function? For 23 Video users this means goodies like more design options, a brand new user interface and several options for social log-in.  If you have an 23 Video account your username will automatically be detected as you are commenting. For your audience you can offer of a range of log-in options like Twitter, Facebook, Github and more. As a moderator you can have direct conversations with your audience, as the comments now are updated live. You'll also have the option of promoting specific comments on your page.

The comment field is now rich media-friendly. Simply add your photos, articles, links and videos. Your link will automatically be shortened, matching the title of the media you are adding. You are now probably wondering how to get it; When adding a comments layout-block to your video website you will automatically be updated with the newest version. Meaning — if you already have comments activated on your site simply de-activate it when adding the new block. Go to Design -> Layout in your 23 Video backend to get started and ping us if you have any questions.

Enjoy!

Today we're release Actions for 23 Video. The new set of feature takes over from PlayFlow -- and adds a wealth of new possibilities when working with video and call-to-action overlays. Users can now add text boxes, links, images, videos, ads, banner and products directly on the video timeline -- and control the position, timing and look of everything. For developers, the most interesting thing will be the new custom actions that integrate with our player builder to let you create new action or overlay types. After you've set up the action and created a handler in the player, anyone in the organisation will be able to use it in a single click.
