  EMERYVILLE, CA, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 At the Streaming Media East tradeshow today, Qumu, Inc., the leader in
Enterprise Video
Communications (EVC), announced the Qumu Capture Studio, a complete
appliance solution for recording and broadcasting video and multi-media
presentations. The Qumu Capture Studio provides presenters with a portable
solution to easily record every aspect of a presentation and transform it
into a high-impact, rich media experience that can be broadcast live and
archived for video-on-demand viewing.

    "The use of video as the preferred choice for communicating in today's
dispersed
work environment is at an all-time high, but the implementation challenges can
be
daunting," said Ray Hood, president and CEO of Qumu. "Qumu Capture Studio
uniquely simplifies a complex problem by eliminating the need for expensive
professional media services, and enabling management teams to communicate via
video
at the click of a button."

    The Qumu Capture Studio appliance is feature rich and easy to use, and
changes the way enterprise teams communicate -- from executive broadcasts to
corporate and product training, sales demonstrations, and departmental meetings.
 It's
the next best thing to being in the room with the presenter.  Specific
capabilities include:


--  Complete presentation experience -- Unlike current approaches that
    provide limited media input and performance, the Qumu Capture Studio
    delivers full frame rates (up to 30 fps) from both a camera(s), and visual
    content from a presenter's laptop, PC, document cameras, etc. This means
    the viewer can watch the speaker in a video window while also viewing the
    presenter's PC desktop displaying presentations, website navigation and
    video clips, all in full motion video at the same time.
--  One click recording -- Employees present normally and Qumu Capture
    Studio does the rest, capturing every slide, video, animation, and website
    reference, and turning it into a rich multi-media presentation. Presenters
    capture the entire experience by controlling up to 3 PTZ cameras from their
    desktop.
--  No post-production work -- Corporate communications, dynamic
    presentations, lectures, and training videos are available without any post-
    production work. Easy to use presets enable one click production -- Audio
    and video mixing is automatic, chapters are dynamically created and
    indexed, and all content is searchable.
--  Multiple viewing options -- Presentations can be streamed live via any
    standard web/media server. Video-on-demand is available through Qumu
    Capture Studio's open API which fully integrates with Qumu Video Control
    Center.  This integration enables publishing to portal standards including
    Microsoft Sharepoint and IBM Websphere, video content management and user
    authentication, and secure distribution across iCDN and eCDN networks.
--  Flexibility -- Qumu Capture Studio supports multiple video formats, 6
    simultaneous video, 2 PC and 4 audio inputs, viewing options (PIP, POP,
    side by side) and support for both PC and Mac OS.
--  Portable -- Compact size makes it easy to transport to different
    locations.

generally available in Q3 2008.   For more information, visit Qumu at
