VIVIDAS TO DRIVE CAR SHOWROOM PORTAL FOR SENSIS

Vividas, one of the world’s leading providers of full-screen video streaming technology, today announced a 12 month agreement to stream video for Car Showroom, Sensis®’ recently launched new car website. Sensis is part of Telstra Corporation and provides services including Yellow™ and White Pages®, Trading Post®, CitySearch®, UBD®, Gregory’s® and Whereis®.

Car Showroom is Australia’s new one stop online destination dedicated to the promotion of new cars. Customers can visit the site for quick and easy car comparisons, reviews, factory and dealer offers and browse by car type or use. Vividas’ encoded video revolutionises the buying experience by delivering a comprehensive web-based video view of the products, allowing the website to create a more fulfilling and engaging user experience.

Car Showroom is being marketed to dealers offering profile videos, virtual tours of showrooms and information on all cars available within Australia. Major car manufacturers such as GM Holden, Suzuki and Peugeot will be able to post their show-reels, new advertising campaigns and technical information on the new portal in video format.

Dave Winter, CEO Vividas Australia said, "Giving Car Showroom users the ability to experience full screen high quality, engaging video content is a natural fit for Vividas technology. It is also an exciting opportunity for us to be working with Sensis, one of Australia’s leading information resource brands."

Group Marketing Manager Car Showroom Kellie Cordner said, "This website will be a new experience for consumers, bringing together the excitement of a visit to a ‘virtual car showroom’ with cinema quality vision."

 

"Too many websites bombard Australians with information that may not be relevant to their individual needs. For example, if you’re looking for a vehicle with towing capacity, being provided with information about convertibles will simply not interest you." she said.

Vividas will provide a Vivcast On-demand encoding suite which allows Sensis to encode their video content in-house to the Vividas format for fast, simple to view, full screen delivery on Car Showroom.
