Deliver up to 192Mbps commercial video and audio products electronically.

STR3EM Pro is a version of the STR3EM file format designed to deliver premium video and audio products electronically. STR3EM Pro can deliver VC-1 and H.264 up to 192Mbps. Audio products can be delivered in the “disc-at-once” configuration used to create commercial Compact Discs with a resolution up to 24-bit 192Khz. Audio files can also deliver multiple version layers of a title comprising all or part MP3, Flac, WMA Lossless, 16-bit WAV, 24-bit WAV, 5.1 WAV, and 5.1 DTS.

Retail options for purchases, 1-7 day rentals, and memberships are available with a KodeKey license. End-users can play files on any Windows PC (XP to 7) with our free software application available at Cnet’s download.com.

A KodeKey license is required to create STR3EM Pro files larger than 1GB.

Dynamic Pre-Show Content

Long-term monetization is realized with the ability to add streaming URL slots before a feature presentation. Slots can be controlled by activating and disabling URL links from a web service or CDN. Slot links not available will skip to the next playlist item in the file.

If the end-user does not have an Internet connection, then STR3EM will skip all URL slots and play the feature presentation instantly.
