ESPN.COM LAUNCHES ESPN MOTION FOR MAC
ESPN.com announced today the availability of ESPN Motion, its popular video tool, for Apple Macintosh users. Previously available only for computers running on the Microsoft Windows operating system, ESPN Motion delivers high-quality video content to sports fans multiple times daily on ESPN.com. Created through cooperation with the Walt Disney Internet Group, the proprietary and patent-pending tool allows more than two million active users per month to view original content, highlight and clips from ESPN studio shows without buffering or streaming. ESPN Motion also allows advertisers to run television commercials online.
With the availability of ESPN Motion, sports fans using Mac’s will also have access to the ESPN Motion Showcase (http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/motion/showcase/index) – the online destination where fans can create custom video playlists from a clearinghouse of all the ESPN Motion video content available at a given time. Using an interface that allows for either single click or drag-and-drop control, the user creates a fully flexible playlist in which they can stop, start, shuffle, reshuffle and add or subtract video clips. Clips are played in an enlargeable video screen, and both the individual clip duration and total duration of the playlist are shown. Fans can pause the clips and control the audio volume with a single mouse click.
ESPN Motion for Mac operates optimally in the Safari, Netscape/Mozilla and Firefox Internet browsers, but also operates on a limited basis in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Macintosh. Unlike the original version of ESPN Motion for PC’s, ESPN Motion for Macintosh requires no initial application download, needs only the Flash 6 plug-in for operation and will appear to all Macintosh users visiting ESPN.com.
