BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Buffalo Sabres have officially launched the Sabres DeskSite, a new, interactive video app that proactively delivers premium, high-definition video content to fans – for free.
The Sabres DeskSite is a personalized HD video content library constructed to support fans' growing consumption of online video. Exclusively modeled for the "Big Screen" and essentially a DVR for the Internet, the Sabres DeskSite serves as a digital fan hub for HD video, web content, and social conversation around the team.
"Our fans are always looking for new ways to keep up with the latest Sabres news," said Brent Rossi, the EVP of Marketing and Brand Strategy for the Sabres. "The Sabres DeskSite will make it even easier for fans to stay updated on what's happening with the team by bringing videos from Sabres.com right to their desktops."
DeskSite enables instantaneous video playback, offering a seamless experience that improves on traditional video streaming. Videos are automatically downloaded and stored directly to users' devices, allowing fans the ability to view content offline, without an Internet connection. The platform also includes audiovisual alerts, reducing the delay between a video's initial release and fan access. Video programming consists of game highlights, postgame recaps, player and coach interviews, and more.
"The Sabres DeskSite offers fans everything they want, and equally important, nothing they don't," said Richard Gillam, CEO of DeskSite. "With this new platform, we've made some exciting leaps forward in the evolution of digital media, most notably in the twin pillars of content curation and content access. If you're a serious Sabres fan, this is a 'must have' experience."
In order to provide this immersive fan experience, the Sabres partnered with DeskSite, a digital media company based in Irvine, Calif.
Fans can download the Sabres DeskSite at www.sabresdesksite.com.
