San Francisco 49ers Launch New Video App With DeskSite

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Francisco 49ers have officially launched the 49ers DeskSite, a new, interactive video app that proactively delivers premium, high-definition video content to fans – for free.

The 49ers DeskSite is a personalized HD video content library constructed to support fans' growing consumption of online video. Exclusively modeled for the "Big Screen" and essentially a DVR for the Internet, the DeskSite serves as a digital fan hub for HD video, web content, and social conversation around the team.

"Enhancing the fan experience for the 49ers Faithful is a constant effort within every department of the 49ers organization, and DeskSite helps us do that in the digital space," said 49ers COO Al Guido. "Fans of the 49ers are going to love that the 49ers DeskSite aggregates team-related content from across the Internet into one location."

DeskSite enables instantaneous video playback, freeing fans from the buffering, freezing and dropping associated with streaming video on a website. Videos are automatically downloaded and stored directly to users' devices, allowing fans the ability to view content offline, without an Internet connection. The platform also includes audiovisual alerts, reducing the delay between a video's initial release and fan access. Video programming consists of full-length broadcast television shows, interviews with players and coaches, postgame recaps, breaking news, in-depth scouting combine and draft coverage, cheerleader spotlights, game highlights, and more.

"The 49ers DeskSite offers fans everything they want, and equally important, nothing they don't," said Richard Gillam, CEO of DeskSite. "With this new platform, we've made some exciting leaps forward in the evolution of digital media, most notably in the twin pillars of content curation and content access. If you're a serious 49ers fan, this is a 'must have' experience."

In order to provide this immersive fan experience, the 49ers partnered with DeskSite, a digital media company based in Irvine, Calif.

Fans can download the 49ers DeskSite at www.49ersdesksite.com.
