And the video quality is so good, I can see every detail.”
Specific functions of the Extreme Reach Anywhere application include the immediate review of new video advertisements as they are completed in post-production, real time monitoring of the delivery status of each commercial to the media, video quality details, and ad content information such as slate, Ad ID, version, lengths, tags such as 800-numbers and disclaimers, and more.
