Our Video and Audio services are the nuts-and-bolts of video connectivity services which transport top quality images and sound ready to view, edit and produce in real time. Our exceptional services can save money and increase productivity by saving on travel expenses, cutting down on courier delivery time, cost and shortening approval time.

Kick Video Services are provided on a hubbed basis. Hub points are located in New York, San Francisco, Hollywood and San Diego.

Using Kick's Video Access Gateway provides a common standards-based network platform, eliminating previously incompatible digital and analog video formats.

Analog Video Service
Our Analog Video Service is used for broadcasting live news, sporting and entertainment events. Providing outstanding broadcast-quality service used for permanent and temporary video transmission.

Contribution Video Services (CVS)
Exceptional Video Services 270 is an uncompressed, digital component video transport based on the SMPTE standard 259M. CVS meets the growing demands of post-production facilities that require full-bandwidth-quality video for decision support, multimedia, high-resolution graphics, special effects, and distribution of editing masters. With one common transmission standard, Universal Standard Interfaces, and compression codec capability, CVS is the ultimate in digital video transport technology.

• Approve rough cuts and/or audio mixes with remote screening
• Remote editing, using remote machine control (optional CVS feature)
• Highest quality audio when Dolby Digital Audio is added
• Security via fiber optics transport
• Backward compatible with existing Kick services, as well as forward compatible with future technologies such as ATM, utilizing our new Video Gateway.
