Coincident TV Software Builds Momentum for Fox Sports North with Real-Time Interactive Video, Social Engagement and Hyperlocal Advertising for “Prep Zone”

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coincident TV, creator of the video software suite enabling platform-neutral creation, delivery and measurement of immersive video Web experiences, and Fox Sports North present a live-streaming interactive video application called the “Fox Sports North Prep Zone.”

“Coincident TV software was built to be a versatile and easy-to-use solution for interactive video experiences”

The multi-camera real-time video stream featuring four Midwestern high school football matchups with live chat, social feeds, hyperlocal advertising and dynamic commentary is live at Fox Sports North and has rallied a global audience around the weekly interactive matchups streaming each Friday at 7:00 p.m. CDT. Since its launch at the beginning of the season, “Prep Zone” has experienced week-to-week growth among tens of thousands of viewers local to the Minnesota region, in China, Brazil, France and beyond.

“Coincident TV software was built to be a versatile and easy-to-use solution for interactive video experiences,” says David Kaiser, CEO and co-founder of Coincident TV. “Our collaboration with Fox Sports North is a breakthrough for regional sports and really digs deep into the software’s powerful tools, including social engagement, bonus content, multiple game feeds, easily updated advertising and our first implementation of live video.”

As Coincident TV’s entry into sports content, the “Prep Zone” exhibits the software’s flexibility and integration of real-time video, social interactivity and localized advertising. The Coincident TV interactive video editor enables Fox affiliates to integrate localized content instantly, including video feeds, interviews with team players, links to relevant team content and regional advertising, allowing local businesses to offer audiences exclusive deals and discounts on the spot. From each high school venue, on-site production teams stream four video feeds courtesy of the Akamai HD network.

The Coincident TV interactive video player allows fans to toggle between all four game feeds while engaging with other viewers via live chat or social feeds long after the final whistle blows.

Coincident TV’s game-changing technology and Experience Builder Suite make video, not text, the root of a Web experience – turning every frame of every video into a potential linking point to launch real-time social media, weblinks, applications and transactions for both Flash and HTML5-compatible devices.
