At
NAB 2004 ViewCast's Niagara
PowerStream and Niagara
5200 streaming server will demonstrate
delivering streaming video to mobile/handheld
devices that utilize the Intel® PXA27x
processor family, based on Intel XScale®
technology, along with the new Intel®
2700G multimedia accelerator.
This
demonstration will take place at ViewCast’s
booth #SL3621 on April 19-22, at NAB 2004
in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Wireless
and mobile video is the next major breakthrough
in video communications technology for delivering
entertainment, sports, advertising, news and
education content. Streaming to handheld devices,
wireless networks and cellular phones is a
significant untapped market for broadcasters
and content owners. This presentation will
validate the technology and demonstrate its
broad applications in this emerging market.
Mobile device technologies
are developing at such a rapid pace they are
increasingly viable options for content delivery
and can now be used for receiving and viewing
digital files and video streams.
“We are pleased to have
ViewCast join our Early Access Program,”
said Mel Laird, general manager, Software
Enabling Division, Intel Corporation. “ViewCast
is a welcomed addition to the group of software
companies that we are enabling to develop
applications.”
The technology demonstration
will consist of the Niagara PowerStream in
the booth encoding live material to MPEG 4
video in Windows Media format and delivering
the material via an 802.11b wireless network
to various handheld devices. The mobile devices
will access the live material, as well as
on-demand material, through a Web-based interface
with Windows Media Player.
In addition to MPEG-4, the Niagara streaming
systems support encoding of Windows Media
9 and RealVideo® 10.

ViewCast
Introduces First Streaming Capture
Card That Combines Analog and DV Capture
for Under $500
New
Osprey®-300 addresses both streaming
and video editing applications |
ViewCast
is very pleased to announced the coming
release of the latest addition to the Osprey
Video streaming capture card family, the
Osprey-300.
The
Osprey-300 marks ViewCast's introduction
into the nonlinear editing market. The Osprey-300
combines the quality and superiority of
the industry-leading Osprey video streaming
capture cards with the features of a standard
IEEE 1394b card, creating a quality digital
video (DV) capture card with full device
control capability.
The
new Osprey card will be available in May
of 2004.
The
Osprey-300 is a price/performance breakthrough.
It essentially delivers two cards for the
price of one and then offering the Osprey-300
bundled with the industry-leading creative
software, all at an extremely attractive
price. For media production teams it means
optimization of streaming time in the post-production
process, much more efficient use of editing
equipment, and assurance of the high integrity
of the original video images.
 Built
on the video streaming and high-performance
features of the Osprey-230, the Osprey-300
adds OHCI-compliancy (IEEE-1394) for video
capture. The OHCI (Open Host Controller
Interface) compliant IEEE-1394 standard
allows users to transfer DV material into
an editing system in its native DV format
while maintaining original source quality
and optimizing the workflow for post-production
houses. The PCI-X bus interface provides
compatibility with the latest PC technologies,
delivering high-performance/high-bandwidth
data transfers.

Osprey video streaming capture cards and
other hardware/software solutions from ViewCast
