Key Defenitions
1) Download- Owning a physical copy of a media product onto a device. Examples such as downloading film on Netflix to most devices. A downside to downloading is that it can take up a lot of storage.
2) Stream- transmit or receive (data, especially video and audio material) over the internet as a steady, continuous flow. You can access a product from its platform. An internet connection is needed.
3) Simulcast- 'simultaneous broadcasting' A simultaneous transmission of the same programme on a radio or television , or on two or more channels about the same thing at the same time.
4) VOD- 'Video On Demand' is a media distribution system that allows users to access videos without a tradition playback device. A platform we can stream products from 24/7 access. Examples include Netflix, Amazon prime and Disney+.
5) Time Shifting- recording of programming to a storage medium to be viewed or listened to after the live broadcasting. Audiences can view live media after it has already aired. It gives you the ability to fast forward and rewind media.
6) Debate - 'fragmented audiences' (Livingstone 2002) - Viewing different media at different times across different platforms.
