See the New Huskie All-Access

DeKALB - NIUHuskies.com is excited to introduce the new Huskie All-Access multimedia player, your online channel for the most audio and video coverage of Northern Illinois Athletics.

The revamped Huskie All-Access is offering a free trial period to all fans and alumni until August 9. That means fans will have access to exclusive coverage when Northern Illinois football opens fall camp later this week. On August 9, premium content will be available only to subscribers. Current subscribers can log in on August 9 and start accessing premium content immediately.

Features of the new Huskie All-Access include expanded video navigation controls, such as video jogging for fast forwarding and rewinding, and advanced search functions to help you get the content you crave. The new on-page video player interface is at a 16:9 aspect ratio offering a full-screen mode and is compatible with Adobe Flash-enabled web browsers.

Menus are now in a tab format and contain preview thumbnails of video items for easy navigation of content. Viewers can sort videos by most recent, by sport, by featured channels or by live events only. Each tab offers additional filtering options to help viewers find their content quickly.

More advanced search features allow users to search by keyword or within a date range. Users can further narrow their advanced searches by sport, channel and category.

Huskie All-Access now makes it easier for fans to share their favorite videos with their friends and family. Unique public video links allow for easy link sharing while "Share" options within the video player allow users to send links directly to social networking sites. Fans can also send video links directly to friends with the "Email to a Friend" function.

Huskie All-Access is an online subscription streaming multimedia service that offers live and on-demand streaming audio and video of Northern Illinois Athletics and other features highlighting Huskie teams, coaches and student-athletes.

Huskie fans wishing to get the most online video coverage of Northern Illinois Athletics can purchase a monthly subscription at $6.95, or upgrade to an annual subscription for $49.95. Your purchase helps support Northern Illinois Athletics.
