In 2004, Clear Sky Designs was one of the earliest innovators in the use of user generated video content. Predating youtube and many other popular video sharing sites, we developed usability standards that are common now. Video files are typically large files that standard protocols (http) can not handle. We developed an interface and protocol that allowed large file uploads by registered users.
Launched in 2006, UCTV was a result of those early coding efforts. The site allows users to upload their own videos. Then the system automatically converts the files to a flash file, resulting in a much smaller download for the user.
