Toronto-based MIJO Corp. has launched a Web-based TV spot distribution service called MIJOnet. Available through its MIJO Comprehensive division, the new system digitizes and prepares broadcast quality MPEG-2 files from video masters, transports the files to stations via a secure Net-based network then dispenses the spots into the broadcasters’ on-air systems.
On http://www.mijonet.com, broadcasters and agencies can view low-res files of the spots delivered to their servers as well as where MIJOnet has ‘ingested’ the spot but delivery to the station is pending. Now agencies can view creative, place orders, track their status and access other pertinent spot information. The system can distribute spots nationally in as little as two hours.
