Digital Media Solutions, LLC announces VIVID Books

Aug. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- St. Louis, MO – Today Digital Media Solutions, LLC announces VIVID Books™, a web-based content management system that combines the best features of electronic documents and full-motion video into a single, cohesive user interface.

For long-form instructional video, VIVID dispenses with cumbersome file lists and "scrubber" bars, enabling YouTube or Flash-based video to be navigated and searched much like a book, using a table of contents, transcripts, keyword searches, and bookmarks.

And for traditional "text-centric" projects such as user's guides and training manuals, VIVID allows authors to go beyond text, illustrations and photos, enabling written descriptions to be augmented with short, context-specific video clips.

VIVID is an ideal solution for education and training in domains involving complex concepts, processes and activities, such as
-   Medical procedures
-   Science, mathematics and engineering
-   Do-It-Yourself home improvement
-   Product assembly / installation
-   Auto repair
-   Sports instruction

Possible applications include
-   Searchable video libraries (e.g., university lectures)
-   Training manuals
-   Instructional videos
-   Do-It-Yourself guides
-   User guides and knowledge bases

VIVID is available as either a turn-key, SaaS solution or as a custom solution installed on the hosting service of your choice. VIVID supports YouTube, Flash Media Server, and Wowza hosted video.

A fully functional implementation of VIVID Books, including documentation and examples, is available at www.vivid-books.com

A brief, 90-second overview of the system is available at www.youtube.com/vividbooks
