ViewCast is demonstrating the high-quality MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
video capture capabilities of its new Osprey�-2000 capture
card, and the new portable and rack-mountable Niagara� Streaming
Systems. The company�s ViewCast Online division will demonstrate
EZStream software and services that enable businesses to
capture, edit, encode, publish, host and deliver streaming
video/rich media content on corporate Web sites. With EZStream,
communicating via video online is as easy as click, create
and view.
In addition, the company has announced a dynamic new rebate
program
�Streaming video has always started with ViewCast, through
our popular Osprey Video capture cards. Now, we are positioned
as a start-to-finish answer for streaming needs through
the suite of services offered by ViewCast Online, which
brings the power of streaming video to corporate Web sites
with point-and-click ease and attractive prices,� said George
Platt, ViewCast president and chief executive officer. �Our
new rebate program makes the pricing even more attractive.�
Through Aug. 31, 2001, ViewCast offers rebates of up to
$200 to customers who purchase any Osprey-500 series of
digital capture cards. In addition, customers who trade
in analog capture cards can get an additional rebate of
$50 on selected Osprey-500 models. Osprey-500
professional cards provide digital inputs for high-quality
video capture to Windows Media streaming format.
ViewCast is also offering a rebate on its Niagara systems.
A $200 rebate is available to customers that purchase Niagara
Streaming Systems configured with the Osprey-500 DV
Pro. Trade in your old capture card and get an additional
$50 rebate. To qualify for either, customers must register
their product online and download and mail in a rebate form.
ViewCast Osprey Video capture cards are widely recognized
as the streaming industry�s de facto standard for video
capture cards and codecs for streaming video. The new Osprey-2000
is the industry�s first product to combine the quality of
MPEG with the power of streaming video and state-of-the-art
professional audio and video inputs. The Osprey-2000 captures
and encodes from digital or analog sources and integrates
seamlessly with the leading editing and streaming applications.
The new ViewCast Niagara series of encoders is a powerful,
efficient and cost-effective way for businesses to stream
'live' on the web or create archived video-on-demand content.
Fully integrated Niagara 1, 2, and 4 rack unit systems as
well as portable configurations provide turnkey solutions
for virtually any streaming application and make it easy
to convert your content to RealNetworks or Windows Media
support formats.
