LONG BEACH, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Streaming Media West,
Booth #1129; Pinnacle Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCLE), a leader in streaming
media solutions, today announced the availability of two premier products in
its webcasting solutions lineup. StreamFactory X2(TM) -- a high-powered
version of its award-winning StreamFactory Web Media Encoder and
StreamGenie Presenter(TM) 2.0, a rich media Internet production studio for
corporate and e-learning markets.
"StreamFactory X2 and StreamGenie Presenter 2.0 address the growing demand
for corporations to conduct business in real-time without traveling," said
Greg Lowitz, General Manager of Pinnacle Systems' Webcasting Solutions group.
"During tight economic conditions, travel expenses are first to get cut.
Pinnacle's streaming solutions save time and money, while stepping up internal
and external communication over the web."
StreamFactory X2 is being deployed now to leading telcos and CDNs in Asia,
Europe and the US. Propelling broadcast-quality video on broadband networks
with up to four independently sized streams in multiple formats,
StreamFactory X2 meets the demands of content delivery networks and
enterprises where premium-quality multi-stream video is required in a compact
one-rack unit form factor. Several new features, including four-stream
control from HTML user interface as well as a broadcast-quality logo/graphics
inserter, enable corporate branding and ad insertion over the web.
StreamGenie Presenter 2.0 is an all-in-one multimedia presentation
toolbox, ideal for corporate marketing, e-learning and training markets. Use
it to broadcast product launches, press announcements, sales or technical
training seminars on your company intranet or Internet. With the integration
of sofTV.Presenter Live and optional sofTV.author applications, StreamGenie
Presenter 2.0 is now capable of streaming live video in multiple formats
alongside a PowerPoint presentation without the use of plug-ins or knowledge
of Javascript or HTML. Similar services can add several thousand dollars to a
hosted webcast. But with StreamGenie Presenter 2.0, this capability is now
standard with every system. Corporations are empowered to communicate to
their employees, channel partners, and customers on a regular basis -- without
stepping foot on an airplane.
