Here are a few of the benefits Silverlight delivers:

  • A full screen video player that is capable of delivering 720p HD video. TV quality on the web.
  • A main HD video feed, plus 4 user-selectable alternate synchronized camera feeds that allows users to switch camera angles themselves. Your TV can’t do that.
  • Adaptive smooth streaming of live HD video, which enables the video player to automatically switch bitrates on the fly depending on networking/CPU conditions. No buffering/stuttering experience.
  • DVR support of the live video, including Pause, Instant Replay, Slow Motion, Skip Forward/Back. You can pause and rewind on live video.
  • Play-by-play data (touchdowns, fumbles, etc) inserted as tooltip chapter markers on the scrubber at the bottom allowing you to quickly seek to key moments. A smarter, contextual DVR.
  • Highlights of major plays created within minutes of the play. NBC is cutting on-demand highlights and publishing them on-the-fly with Smooth Streaming.
  • Sideline interviews with the players. No more channel surfing, you are one click away from additional content.
  • Game statistics. These are live stats coming dir-ctly in real-time from the NFL.
  • Game commentary and Q&A with the SNF hosts. Chat with the live TV broadcasters.
