Broadband2A500 is a standard for broadband publishing created for 29HD Network’s group of editorial partners. Broadband2A500 standards specify (1) the bit rate of 500k Flash Video in a 16x9 HD ratio, 695x391 pixel video window. (2) The page has to be divided into two segments, on the top of the page a 982x391 Flash based rich media content window for slide-shows and audio-visual content and a set of buttons below that describe the available selection of broadband content. (3) All videos must be offered simultaneously in at least one other downloadable format (eg. iPod/PSP/Zune/XBox360). (4) These channels must accommodate only one 728x90 flash banner for one single sponsor message per page, along with one additional sponsor message on the content showcased on the 982x391 content window.
Joseph Shak who previously co-founded one of the first interactive ad agency RPI explains, “with the iPod, the handheld video segment has already reached a critical threshold of well over 10 million media savvy users in the last 12 months, this adoption rate has broken all records for multi-media platform adoptions and broadband online, is a strong portent of where media consumption is heading in the near future”.

We believe that in a publishing relationship, all three sides should win , the publisher, the user and the sponsor. Our channels are configured with this principle guiding our network”.
