Sonic Foundry,
Inc. (booth #N5560), the recognized market leader for rich
media webcasting and knowledge management, today introduced
the next generation in its family of award-winning webcasting
appliances, the Mediasite RL and ML Recorders, from the InfoComm
2008 show floor. Complementing this release is Mediasite EX
Server 5.0, the next-gen rich media platform to stream, archive,
secure and manage recorded webcasts.
The updated Mediasite Recorders feature
a number of enhancements, most notably:
Capture any VGA presentation source, such as a laptop, projector,
e-board or document camera, via DVI (Digital Video Interface)
input
Pause live or on-demand recordings to accommodate breaks with
no post-production editing
High-motion video support allowing an operator to switch video
from the image window to the video window without additional
external switching equipment
VGA pass-through to immediately redirect an incoming image
signal to another output like a projector or monitor
Video center-cut editing capabilities
Smaller 2U rack-mount size (for the RL recorder)
Mediasite EX Server 5.0 delivers greater playback options
for students and workers while strengthening administration's
management of recorded content.
Among Mediasite 5.0's enhancements are revamped Mediasite
Players, an updated Mediasite Presentation Catalog with flexible
content organization hierarchies and RSS feeds, access to
more viewing statistics and reports including graphics of
key viewing trends, vCal support to add Mediasite events to
Outlook calendars and the ability to forward content clips
to authorized users while watching a presentation.
Customers who attended UNLEASH 2008, the
annual Mediasite User Conference, received a sneak-peek of
the almost 100 new features included in Mediasite 5.0 and
are anticipating even greater benefits with the new releases.
"With Mediasite, we reach thousands of people around
the world with ease. Our faculty capture their presentations
and share them immediately without changing the way they present,
and without content-authoring and post-production work. The
new Recorders and Mediasite 5.0 will only make our job easier,
and we look forward to what's coming," said Octavio Heredia,
Associate Director-Global Outreach and Extended Education,
the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University.
"Expectations for communicating
online are growing in every sector. With Mediasite 5.0 and
the new family of Recorders, Sonic Foundry has shown that
we're not only responding to those expectations, we're anticipating
them by setting the standard for the next generation rich
media platform," said Rimas Buinevicius, chairman and
CEO of Sonic Foundry. "We are excited to introduce these
enhancements to our customers and look forward to continuing
to grow our position as the innovative leader in this market."
