COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Columbus Blue Jackets are the first NHL team to officially launch the Blue Jackets DeskSite, a new, interactive video app that proactively delivers premium, high-definition video content to fans – for free.
The Blue Jackets 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 Blue Jackets DeskSite serves as a digital fan hub for HD video, web content, and social conversation around the team.
"We're happy to be the first NHL team to offer this video archive service to our fans," said Blue Jackets Vice President of Corporate Development A.J. Poole. "DeskSite's platform makes it very convenient for fans to pull up their favorite Blue Jackets content on demand."
DeskSite enables instantaneous video playback, freeing fans from the buffering, freezing and dropping associated with streaming video on a website. 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 postgame recaps, player and coach interviews, and more.
"The Blue Jackets 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 Blue Jackets fan, this is a 'must have' experience."
In order to provide this immersive fan experience, the Blue Jackets partnered with DeskSite, a digital media company based in Irvine, Calif.
Fans can download the Blue Jackets DeskSite at www.bluejacketsdesksite.com.
