Digital Surface is pleased to announce the company’s involvement with the recent successful launch of os1.tv, a major new addition to the omnipresent OMS Online Marketing Service, the dominant online video advertising network in Germany.

Digital Surface has worked closely with key stakeholders to produce an interactive and stylised online video experience based on the Brightcove platform. However, this is no ordinary video player as you will see for yourself if you take a peek. For example, the size of the video playback area scales up and other interface elements are hidden when a video is first selected, allowing the user to focus completely on content. This can be quite a surprise the first time, but soon becomes intuitive and one actually appreciates the increased focus, which of course leads to greater user engagement.

os1.tv is a new online broadcaster for the Osnabrück region of Germany with a friendly, informal feel to their interviewers and program makers, many of whom are new to the business and seem to literally bubble with enthusiasm and great ideas. None of this is at the expense of quality, which is evident throughout the program making and is also reflected in the uncompromising interface design. os1.tv must be doing something right as viewing figures have shot through the roof making their model one to watch for the future.
