Pre-roll advertising
NetroMedia's powerful advertising program allows your ads to reach every viewer or listener on your stream. Advertising clips are pre-loaded onto the NetroMedia Content Delivery Matrix along side your live or on demand content and whenever your stream is activated an ad plays. Whether you have 1 ad or 10 ads they will play seamlessly with your content, just like conventional broadcasters.
Easy to use and simple to get started

NetroMedia’s live streaming platform comes with two additional powerful streaming features:
1. BufferBlaster
BufferBlaster is a component to NetroMedia’s service which can dramatically reduce startup or “buffering” time. Using advanced networking technologies, NetroMedia can actually speed load your stream to your audience. We can actually make your audience capable of receiving a higher bitrate of bandwidth than your stream is actually running. For example, you may have a 1 minute video encoded at 300k that a user on a corporate network wishes to view. Instead of sending him 300k during the buffering stage, BufferBlaster will take full advantage of the end users available bandwidth and send a higher streaming bitrate to pre-load the viewer. It will pre-load the content at blazing speeds that can actually out perform a DVD player.
2. FireStream
NetroMedia’s FireStream technology is a revolutionary step in the streaming industry. Do you have users that have problems accessing your streams due to corporate networks, firewalls etc. FireStream will leap right over any network firewall. If your end users can access your website, they will be able to access your stream. FireStream lets you get your media where other streamers simply can not go. FireWall issues are toast.
