Sizmek's Industry-First Single Tag for All Screens Fuels HLS Responsive Video Formats

NEW YORK, May 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sizmek (Nasdaq: SZMK ) announced a single tag solution for video campaigns across all screens, allowing advertisers to benefit from HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). The only independent video solution of its kind, Sizmek is setting the industry bar for creating the sharpest quality video campaigns across all screens, including mobile.

Typically, a video campaign has separate tags attached to different screens. With Sizmek, advertisers and agencies benefit from a simple, single tag solution that promises flawless video playback, on any screen. The HLS format ensures that a video starts instantly and delivers the highest quality experience across devices - virtually eliminating buffering, regardless of screen size or the connection speed.

Video campaigns have often been plagued by poor quality. In 2013 , over 25% of video views experienced buffering and over 40% were impacted by low resolution. Unlike traditional progressive download formats or legacy streaming technology that use fixed video resolutions and bit rates, HLS actually adapts to each user's individual viewing environment to provide the optimal viewing experience.

"Advertisers invest significant budget in creating high quality video that is at the core of an optimal brand experience," said Ricky Liversidge, chief marketing officer, at Sizmek. "By expanding our single tag solution to accommodate in-stream video across desktop, mobile and connected TVs, the optimal brand experience is now accessible and simple to achieve."

Sizmek's single tag solution is now available to users of the Sizmek MDX platform thru select publishers.
