Video On Demand

The free Video On Demand (VOD) log is back on digital cable this year in SD, HD and 3D, from now through Jan. 2 (on Cablevision until Jan. 6). This year, viewers can access the video fireplace on-the-go, anytime, for free, via the national Movies On Demand website, rentmoviesondemand.com.

Program distributor iN DEMAND also provides “Winter Green,” a snowy, pine forest setting, and “Snowman,” dressed in top hat, scarf and neckerchief withstanding a windy, snowy storm. All three offerings are accompanied by traditional carols like “Joy to the World,” Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

iN DEMAND’s video log has not been around quite as long as the original WPIX version, having first aired in 2002. But in its 10 years it has added some cool technical elements. It became available on VOD starting in 2007, and the 3D version, which started in 2010, is originally produced exclusively for cable by iNDEMAND using the latest 3D technology.

Speaking of the 3D version, to see it, viewers need a 3D TV with compatible 3D glasses and an HD set-top box connected according to their system’s specs. (Note: Winter Green and Snowman are not available in 3D.) The HD offerings were filmed with HD cameras are are presented in 1080i picture and 5.1 sound.
